Nordenstam have been doing live handmade techno shows for 15 years,
with all events and arrangements improvised on stage using hardware
instruments only. No laptop or preprogrammed song structures!
Everything is tweaked and arranged in one pass, molding the songs to
fit in the occasion. Combining a turntablist like hands on approach
with a penchant for groovy bubbling melodic techno, delivering a live
act of a sort many people don't even know is possible with electronic
dance music. The Godfather of Bergen Tekno Mafia, a prominent force in the Norwegian techno scene. Started fresh on party fixing when setting up and playing at a local school disco at the ripe age of 11 in '89. The first attempts at mangling 8 bit sounds came soon thereafter. The setup had by the mid 90's grown into hardware featuring analogue. An interest that led to electronics and home grown synth units. The computer disappeared from the setup altogether soon after. The early years was mostly explorations in textural sounds and chill out grooves. Doing music for exhibitions and playing chill out areas. The wee attempts at DJ'ing in the preteenage years finally got up to scratch, literally, around the turn of the millennium. The eclectic record spinning that ensued let out a wilder and wider ranging musical side. Inspiring the personal live acts towards dance floors. The live sets now drives hard while still maintaining the listening friendly aspects from the earlier ambient years. The obviously direct approach to creating the music is equally at home on mixed music festivals as in dark clubs. Have gigged nationwide at underground parties, clubs, festivals and mountains raves. Been writing articles for various media, do tech work and repairs, provide acoustic consultancies and enjoy working on all ranges of music in his personal mastering studio. Whenever there's some free time between bicycling! Released tracks on vinyl on WTC and Sex tags plus various CD compilations.. return |
