"The Joshua Tree", 2001

"The Joshua Tree" is a rerecording of the U2 album of the same name which I did by myself on a four-track portable studio, playing all the instruments (acoustic guitar, bass and drums), as well as singing.

 

Elsewhere Right Now

Elsewhere Right Now is a band comprised of Dan Lundberg (sampler and live-mix) and Hampus Pettersson (guitar). The band plays improvised pieces, with Dan sampling Hampus's guitar and using these sound-fragments to create dense, polyrythmic soundscapes.

Kartoffel Menchen Trio

Kartoffel Menschen Trio existed between 1993-94. Hailing from Mölndal, south of Gothenburg, they were a vital part of the "Maybe Mölndal" scene which flourished at the time (other bands worth mentioning are Elflord, The Groovy Hate Fucks and Musik Snobb).
The band was comprised of Fredrik Eriksson (bass), Lotta Hellstrand (metal drumkit), Hampus Pettersson (bass), Foto-Martin (bass), Peter Z (vocals) and some drum machine which was dubbed Dogge Doggelito.

Margot and Hampus

Every once in a while Margot Jacobs and Hampus Pettersson find themselves in the same city. Whenever this happens the opportunity is taken to get together and record covers of songs by indie bands from Göteborg. Swedish lyrics are translated into english, english lyrics are translated into swedish and usually they all wind up being sung simultaneously over a ramshackle musical background.
