Check this out. Unknown Peruvian director Ricardo De Montreuil shot this impressive short film in downtown Los Angeles over a weekend. Total budget $5000. I think we will hear more about this talent in the near future.
I’m doing a series of youtube videos where I’m patching together sounds on the old System-100. For each video there will be wav files available for download on fogelberg.com.
I’ve added another track to Soundcloud. It’s the unreleased Dumb Dan edit of my remix of Miroslav Terzin’s track Funkstatic. The original and remix was released on XAKK Records in 2007.

My second album “Karooshi Porn” from 1999 can now be downloaded from CD Baby. CD Baby is the largest online distributor of independent music.
This is a new version of a track I originally did around 10 years ago. It’s a bit different compared to my latest stuff – not really danceable – it’s kinda quirky electronish, with some trance’ish elements.. and it has a sample of a live bass player.
I just remastered my old 90’s remix/cover of Klaus Schulze called “Brave new sequence”. Now it has fuller and a bit brighter sound. Check it out!

Such a strange and long process it is for me to create my own music nowadays. Remixing other artists are usually not a problem. I tend to pin that down in a week or two. But my own stuff.. can take months to finish. I probably spend around 80-90% of that time testing out different arrangements, then throwing them away when listening to it the next day. Testing different drums, different sounds, different basslines. Then once in a while, just maybe.. if all the stars are correctly aligned, I get a sudden flash of inspiration and rebuild and finish the whole track in a couple of hours. I just wish those flashes could come more often. I need a break from life so I can make more music. Oh well..
I have added three older remixes to the soundcloud player, located to the right. My ambient remix of Mystical Sun – Nebulous mist (unreleased), and my remix/cover versions of Jean Michel Jarre – Zoolook and Klaus Schulze’s Brave old sequence.
Junkie XL teams up with semi god Jan Hammer resulting in an orgy of 80’s synths and beats. The cheeky Miami Vice video is just too good to handle. Don’t miss the Jan Hammer synth solo at the end.
Sad news. The legendary manager, producer and artist Malcolm McLaren died of cancer earlier today. I found a snippet on youtube from an interview on Enough Rope. What a fascinating character he was.
