Finally.
I have finally got a website. It's made from a template so it's not so cool and it's under construction so have patience. I tried using WYSIWYG Web Builder 8 but it was to complicated so I decided to go with a template. The website is going to be static with not so many changes. If I can post pictures that will change and I will try to post news about what I'm doing at the moment. If anyone is good at constructing websites and want to help me get a cooler website. Please let me know.
The website you can find here.
My music on Soundcloud you can find here.

dr Krall from the beginning until now.
A long story short.
I am a retired dj and aspiring musician. My dj career lasted for over 10 years and included several gigs and residencys abroad. I started composing music 1991 on an Amiga 500 where you had 4 channels and a maxiumum of 32 samples with 8-bit quality to work with. I composed lots of music on the Amiga, the latest in 1996. Many of my tunes where used in Demos and other productions. Sometime around 1994 me and a couple of friends (Jerker Hammarberg, Dennis Berglöf, Daniel Lundin and me Joakim Eliasson) put our synthesizers together and built a studio. We also formed the band Psi-Q but we had some problems to unite all of our different wills and we fell apart and went back to composing music on our own.
When Psi-Q broke up a new constellation formed it was me and Daniel Lundin that started to compose music together. We called ourselves Toys of unconsciousness (Thanks Dennis) and the music leaned towards trance and hardtrance. In 1996 we arranged a Raveparty in the small town of Hudiksvall. This was the only livepreformance we made but this woke my interrest to dj.
I started to dj 1996 and soon got bored to play in Hudiksvall. So I looked for gigs in other towns and found gigs in Gävle and Stockholm amongst others. I'm going to list my gigs and residencies on top of my head:
- Statt, Hudiksvall
- Etage, Gävle
- Dollhouze flanör, Gävle

I've found FL Studio!
I have searched a long time..
To find a studioprogram that is easy to use and have descent softsynths. Now I've finally found it. I recently installed FL Studio 9 on my computer and so far it seems good. I have tried Reason but found the softsynths too few and not enough programable. FL Studio has a wide variety of softsynths that also are extremley programable. My USB-keyboard is vorking fine with the software which I was uncertain of since the keyboard is quite old.
Now, installing good software doesn't make the music come automatically. I realise that it has been almost 20 years since i composed music latest. It's difficult if you have an idea but you can't get it out because of technical difficultys. Like programming the synthesizers to sound the way you want and editing the tracks. I'm in the beginning of learning how to compose music. This is very different from composing music on the old Amiga.

Gamla låtar på nytt.
Det var en gång för länge länge sedan...
Året var 1991 och jag hade precis köpt min första Commodore Amiga 500. Den var överlägsen alla andra datorer vad gällde ljud och grafik. Hela 4096 färger kunde den visa och spela 4 kanaler med 8-bitars samplingar. Det var inte illa på den tiden och Amigan körde snabbt om pc datorerna.
Snabbt växte en subkultur upp kring Amigan. Det var den så kallade "Demoscenen". Ett forum där olika grupper tävlade om vem som kunde göra det bästa demot. En presentation där programmering, musik och grafik skapade en häftig upplevelse för beskådaren.
Jag fastnade snabbt för demoscenen och ville bli en del av den. Eftersom jag är musikalisk och älskar musik tedde det sig naturligt att jag gav mig in på musikens bana. Jag skaffade rätt program och lyssnade och såg på hur andra hade gjort och på så sätt lärde jag mig att komponera musik. Där började jag min musikaliska karriär och jag komponerade mängder av låtar varav några finns att lyssna på här: Soundcloud - dr Krall
För er som ägde en Amiga eller har varit delaktig i demoscenen på någon annan platform är det här nostalgisk läsning. Hoppas ni andra fick ut nått av det också. Glöm inte att lyssna på musiken också: Soundcloud - dr Krall
