I make experimental electronic and acoustic music involving free improvisation, adapting to complex systems and making & using terrible instruments. I've done solo and collaborative performances, installations, sculpture, radio pieces, chamber composition, video work and more. 


I also make instruments/devices (not terrible) under the name noise.technology. I sell them online and use them in workshops.

I released a live track under the name Reforger, a new project of mine.

“Recording from a performance at Kulturhuset Femman, Uppsala on 22 of august 2025. I used a small but complex no-input setup. Everything into everything feedback.”

I made this with @t36s earlier this spring. We played together, for the first time, and things gelled.
Recorded with mics, no line, and then hottened up (a lot) by Daniel.

My mixer was making a bunch of crazy sounds a normal no-input mixer would struggle to do. Not just a clicking with timbre but complex chaotic messy huge thick gnarly stuff.

You can send one signal to the in-phase input and another to the out-of-phase (cold) one. You can send stuff to the xlr and phone inputs at the same time.

I haven’t done this yet but you could also have diodes, capacitors and stuff in between.

Playing with touch also works. It worked really well.

I made a pair of hyōshigi today. Very pleased, they are loud and bright and quite compact. One is skinnier because it had a small crack. I was about to glue it but when i tested them it split. Sounded much better afterwards.

Not sure what wood it is, dark hardwood that smells flowery with hints of vanilla. The string is the least ornamental possible, cheap off-brand paracord.

Otto often gets compliments such as “what a pretty dog” or “how gracefully he moves”. Well. Sometimes not so much.

He’s terrified of the cone. But also tired so he’s sleeping. Poor thing. I can’t leave the room or really take my hand away. Which hurts because it has been bit.
