Enchanting melodies meet powerful grooves and ethereal soundscapes.
He blends different styles of music and takes the listener on a journey through inspiring compositions.
Band History:
My name is Johan Hermansson and I was born 1965 and raised in the north of Sweden. I now live and work in a small town called Arjeplog.
My interest in instrumental / electronic music started when I was about 12 years old. It was then I bought my first record, "Platinum" by Mike Oldfield.
My interest grew and I started listening to bands like Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michelle Jarre, Kitaro, Tomita etc.
I loved the way these musicians could tell a story, or paint pictures in my head with music only, without interesting lyrics.
When I was between 16-18 I played drums and bass in local bands. I became serious about music composition around the age of 25. I bought my first synthesizer, a Roland D-50. A year later I bought an Atari computer and a Roland JV-30. With those and Steinberg Cubasis sequenser program I started composing my own music, and I have not been able to stop since.
So far I have finished five albums:
"Stonereef Suite" 1995 on CD 2000.
"Journey through Middle Earth" 1996 on CD 2000.
"World Wide Web" 2000 on CD 2001.
"Outer Galactic journey" 2002 on CD 2002.
"Nightside of the City" 2006 on CD 2006.
