Speglar. Recorded at Studio Smedjegatan 2011. Six violins and three Philicorda organ tracks. EH played all the instruments. This piece was inspired by Steve Reich and other old school minimalists. A very interesting experience creating music in this way.

Benedictum. Recorded during summer 2002 at Studio Smedjegatan. Vocals: Hanna-Maria Strand. The song is a gregorian one which H-M had at her hands. I have forgotten the original title.
While recording Hanna-Maria’s voice a Roland RE-201 tape echo was used.
Erik Högström: Farfisa Partner 15 organ and a Moog Prodigy.
The organ recording is made from three tracks put together while using very much tape echo to create the ambient, almost floating sound. The drone, recorded some years before this, is made from six Moog Prodigy tracks put together. One of my very earliest studio recordings.

RITM 2. The track is recorded in the Allmogen studio in Malmö 2007. My only existing, reasonable, recording from when being the owner of a RITM 2, the incredible little soviet synth. It was stolen in a burglary in the Allmogen studio many years ago.

An improvisational Écran piece recorded at Studio Smedjegatan 2014. Synths and gear used: Philicorda organ, Farfisa Partner 15 organ, Korg MS-20, Moog Prodigy, Roland CS-2, Doepfer A-155 sequencer, Roland RE-501 echo, Roland Cr-78 drum machine. Filmed with a simple Photo Booth camera. That’s the reason of the poor photo quality.

Écran together with Nos (Fredrik Holm), Baby Sage (Miranda Gjerstad) and the dancer Daniel Jeremiah Persson. Live in Allhelgona church in Lund. January 2019. This concert was the starting point of the 2019 Eter festival. The setting already had the name Svedjesång and was later on going to develop into a larger, text-based concert based on stories about climate change and human behavior. That performance was held in the Johannes church in Malmö in February 2019.
