i was doing both video and music
image and audio
mostly in the area of composition
recently i have started an education at university level in Falun
its called audiovisual production
They offered me to create an education that i would like to go, my dream education
its an education about working with moving image and audio at the same time, as one unit, when editing
education today is almost always divided, sound is one profession and video another
My education is based on creative work with video and audio at the same time
its about montage, art film, vj:ing. More abstract than mainstream
A way of communicating with moving images and sound
i came in to this by chance
In highschool i had no direction whatsoever
my music teacher suggested music studies
i did´nt get in but my friend did
I wanted to play the drums but didnt get in, but my friend got in
he also got in at the Oboe class, so he suggested that i could take the spot at the drum studies
I studied there for one year and then applied for higher studies in music
i was second in queue at an education in Gotheburg, but they did not think i was ready
but they saw some talent there i suppose and let me enter,
I had´nt expected that
So, originally i am a musician
sometime in the eighties
I started to record tv-shows
documentaries and news shows, that i, this was at the time when sampling was born
I sampled voices from news and documentaries and made music from that
i did that by analyzing rhythm and tonality from voices and created music from them
thats what i did late eighties and early nineties
I had a friend that worked in film, he said that the songs were great but he asked me if i had saved the moving images. That man was Erik Pauser
his name was Erik Pauser
i still had the VHS tapes, he had the VHS equipment, he said lets make music videos, i said sure
Instantly i noticed that it was as much fun as playing the drums
doing editing, making precis clips, timing, make it work
i was hooked right from the start
Editing was my thing, and then there was the digital revolution. Everyone could have equipment at home
thats when it really took off. My own stuff of course, very underground
in the nineties we up doing a feature called lucky people center international
thats when i learned to edit. It was my first real editing job
after lucky people i was broke, irs knocked on my door
i decided that i had to get a real job
editing came easy for me
it was fun and i went for a career in the craft of editing. I decided to get my money there
so i offered my services to people, one of them was Johan Renck
do you have any work for me?
He said sure and let me edit a suede video right away
some kind of resurrection thing in the late nineties
Brett (the singer) travels around i a car, anyway
that was my first commercial gig and it has rolled on after that
So i became an editor and has worked with editing since
