Human Simulation consists of three guys with a very different musical background. While Marcus Nilsson and me comes from a rock background, Carsten Ohlsen has dwelled in synth and electronic music all his life. And this is what makes the band so exciting. Rock and synth mixed, can it get any better?
We met through the Internet in a community unknown to most people: the Commodore 64 (C64) remix scene. Both Marcus and Carsten had won Remix of the Year thanks to two wonderful remixes of C64 game music, both featuring drums and percussion by me. A little later on, Carsten was sending out song snippets to various people, snippets which also reached me at one point. They were so good I suggested we should start a band and get Marcus in it too because he's such a great singer. Marcus said yes, and so the band was born. Then came the job of finding a name that everybody was satisfied with, but I won't bore you with that story.
Apart from being a member of HS, Marcus also fronts rock act Devil in Little Lisa and I play drums in pop/funk/rock act Kuling. What Carsten's doing outside the band, no one knows. ;)
We hope you like the music so much that you download it to your iPod and tell all your friends. If your father is a record company exec, do tell him too!
Thanks to Carlo Demichelis for mastering Hunting For a Dream and to Olof Gustafsson for mastering Redrum. Christian Stoltz took the picture so thanks for that too!
