Stefan F Karlsson
I grew up in Vetlanda a small town in southern Sweden and this is where I lives today . However, after some years of exile in places such as Stockholm and Skåne.
The guitar Ill sees as my main instrument, soon after synthesis. Sound at all interested in me.
I has played in a number of bands since the early 80s and the most serious project was a synth band that existed in the mid 80s.
Nowadays , it becomes a lot of time in my studio .
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Hmmm. I was born in 1966, so it is well that year as the band with myself started. Jokes aside. I've played a couple years in the studio and just when I had the time and desire. Is a journalist by profession and the job has taken a lot of my time.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I do not give concerts. Not that I play today. Would be hard to play all the instruments himself at once ...
Your musical influences
I listen to many different genres of music, which is reflected in what I create. There is everything from hard rock to glam synth pop. Synth Music I have listened to since the early 80's and the group that I have been most influenced by it's Ultravox. But also bands like Pink Floyd and Swedish Kent has influenced my soun and playing style.
What equipment do you use?
I use a FL Studio, producer edition, for the PC to which I have a midikeayboard engaged. I program drum and synth sounds self. The guitar I use most is a Kramer from the late 80's. A wonderful guitar to play on. Apart from that, I have a number of guitars, both electric and acoustic. And even a few amps that I do not use very often.
Anything else?
Playing is living. Without music I would not have acted as human.
