New release: “Frauds”

Friday, May 30th, 2008

FraudsThis past winter, I began putting together what I’d planned to be a mixtape for my friends. But instead of just mixing songs in a set, I suddenly found myself weaving the tracks together, inspired by collage aesthetics and ambient pop. I began adding new elements where I thought the originals were lacking. People began dropping by the studio to record vocals and instruments over the loops and fragments I’d extracted and, well… Soon enough, the result has become more than just the generic mixtape.

“Frauds” is neither mixtape nor album. It’s neither remix nor mash-up. It’s something in between. “Frauds” is built from elements ranging from Prince to Nicolas Makelberge, from Ashanti to Zongamin, layered with field recordings and finalized by the recordings in Roth Händle Studio where the album… Sorry, the fraud was completed.

“Frauds” features guest appearances by Mattias Olsson, Henric Larsson, Christian Fernandes, Gösta Fråd and Gryqllo.

The new and improved mrsuitcase.se

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

The old mrsuitcase.se is history. It was written in plain html, poorly. It lacked a good method for displaying news, sadly. I waited too long to remove and replace it, obviously.

With this new site up, the information will be easier to get and it will give me a reason to keep it updated. Subscribe to the RSS feed right now to keep updated with new releases, gigs and the occassional odd stuff.
