Today I came to the studio after dinner so I only had a handful of hours to work...so I decided to do some rough mixes on the Wendy McNeill stuff. After I was finished with that I had some time over and decided to make some films highlighting some...

Profile Information

How would you categorise your musical output?
I record and produce albums in my studio in Stockholm. Both bands and artists. I started the studio in the mid 90's at home. After a couple of years the studio grew and I got a small room. After a while that room became a bit too small and I moved to a bigger room.

Due to the slightly odd and eclectic equipment I have in the studio I often get requests to sort stuff out or "make it sound cool". I also have artists coming in to do a day or two of overdubs with "real" instruments.

For more info please visit www.roth-handle.nu

Some of the artists I am currently working with or have worked with.

The Opium Cartel (Nor) - Thieves Kitchen (U.K) - Rokit Scientik - Wendy McNeill (Can) - Martin Ekman - Nutcase music - Vijaya - Tarantula - Sophie Rockwell (fr) - Wan Light - Celestine - AK-momo - Blanc (fr) - Two times the trauma - Devi - Montage - Brighteye Brison - Molesome - Nanook of the north - Johan Moraeus - Änglagård - Deadwood Forest (U.S)- Ludvig Andersson - Pineforest Crunch - Clockwork - Kit le Fever - White Willow (nor) - Akaba - Sofia Talvik - Freddie Wadling - Geller - Daniel Lemma - Anders Nordberg - The grand opening - Grand tone music - Andreas & Jag - Jared Eggers (U.S)
What are your favourite pieces of studio hardware?
I have no software so it is more or less all hardware. My favorite instruments are my Mellotrons, The Chamberlin Rhytmmate, my optical organs such as the mattel optigan, Vako orchestron and the chilton talentmaker. I have a bunch of symths like moogs and korgs but my oddest one is without doubt Benny Anderssons Yamaha GX-1 that used to be in the famous Polar studio. 250 kg of analog polyphonic synthy goodness. When it comes to acoustic instruments my favorites are vibraphones, celestes and baritone guitars. I have recently acquiered a pipe organ that is also making it fast to the top 5 list.
Which Digital Audio Workstation application do you use?
None. I record using 2 Akai DPS-16 and one DPS-12. I like the idea of having faders and knobs on things.
What's your favourite digital instrument?
Hmm...tough one. The frostwave Sonic Alienator ?
Who are your musical/production influences or heroes?
Esquivel Les Baxter Eartha Kitt Korla Pandit Danny Elfman Raymond Scott Yma Sumac Glenn Campbell Kraftwerk Can King Crimson Brian Wilson Jon Brion Brian Eno

Mike Mills.

There has been a lot going on over the last couple of days. This last weekend me and Andreas started recording a new song together for the first time in maybe two years which is really fun considering that we started recording our first song together around in August 1998.
Back then we were called Andreas & Jag, then we were called Geller for a short while and then we fell apart a bit. I guess we are back to Andreas & Jag now.

On Sunday night me and my wife went to see R.E.M in Stockhol… Continue

Human Hands and Vocal Loops.

Today I had a very interesting revelation in the studio. As you might know I have been working with a new Rhys Marsh track, You will never fall. The problem is that my five year old Daughter has started school which means that I have to pick her up really early which has meant that today was my fourth day working on the track and I am still not finished. In the big picture this doesn’t mean anything as the most important thing is that the song turns out great and that Tiger gets picked up from s… Continue

This months record tips.

Besides running a studio and doing the occasional live show I also do a bit of writing…Which I throroughly enjoy if I am in the mood…If I am not it feels a bit like ripping gaffer tape from my eye balls. So I have my little colomn and then I have my little review section…

And this month I came across two wonderful albums that made me very happy. And I think they just might make you happy too…

So please rush off to your next record store (he he he ) and pick up your copies of…

The forgotten language of Light

On Thursday we had another rehearsal with band never known as the leaving. This is the band with me Henrik Frestadius, Stefan Axelssen and Nille Perned. This is what Mosebacke wrote about us concerning our lack of name…We are playing at Mosebacke ion Stockholm on Sunday night.

Vad gör man när ett av stans absolut bästa och hypade osignade band vägrar skaffa sig ett bandnamn? Tja man bokar in dom på en spelning och får förklara för folk att här spelar minsann killen som producerat Kent, Broder D… Continue

The champagne bubble that was quiet...

There is always this small bump in champagne bubbles sparkle on it’s way to the surface. You know that little skip and twist it does...well I met this guy on Sunday night who didn’t really have that. He seemed confused and in a slightly interrogative mood. But he was quiet. Didn’t say a word. I got the feeling that there would be time for talking later. When I met him he seemed occupied with eating and sleeping.

He weighs 3800g (that is metric kids) and is 50cm long.
He is my son.
His mother is… Continue
