I love the sound of a mellotron. Therefore I´ve set up this page as a tribute to the mellotron. You can hear some of my music here, but it can also be heard on other places at the web. I´m not a professional musician but still like the possibility to reach many mellotron-lovers out there.

   About Mellotroner
The sound of the Mellotron have been around for a while now. The mellotron, said to be the first sampler, has a very special sound. Many people love it. Others do not. Most people have no idea what a mellotron is.

In some music you can hear a special sound, that..s coming from a mellotron. Often you can hear instruments like strings, flute and brass as well as the sound of a choir in recordings. Sometimes that sound comes from a mellotron! How could one know, if it comes from a mellotron? That ain..t allways easy to say. Mellotron-lovers can hear or feel if it is a mellotron.

Listen to my songs to hear some mellotronsounds. In "Nice Mellotron" you can hear the typical sound of strings, choir and brass, coming from a mellotron. I love the roughness of the sound.

You should not use the sound from a mellotron if you create music and want to have something that sounds exactly like strings or a choir. In that case there are other samples that suites better. On the other hand, if you want a sound that is magic, you might want to use the sound from a mellotron.

Unfortunately, most people can..t afford to buy a real mellotron.
Luckily, we can use samples from this extraordinary sampler, the mellotron!

Listen to understand the beauty!!!

Feel free to listen and download more of our music. You find us at:

Below I show my little darling, the Mini-Magitron. It’s a fake-M400, a whannabe-M400, or whatever you like to call it. It looks like a kid-piano but is defenitely a lot more than that. Watch the film!

Hej Max (ts),
Det låter jättefint om din senaste låt, "Here I am"! Stillsamt och mjukt och med mystiskt skimrande mellotroner långt borta, precis i min smak! Allra mest gillar jag dock den där vibrerande sologitarren eller vad det är. Det låter som om du speedat opp den eller gjort något liknande med den. Ursnyggt och mycket känsligt!
