ABOUT US

The history behind the music on “Fantasy” is long! Mats Bender started making some of the songs on the cd as long as 30 years ago on one of his first synths. The tunes has been made and remade over the course of time and finally, when the development of technique allowed it, he could document the music audiotiv in his own studio. Mats and his wife, me Anna, we worked musically together for many years before we took the step to also create music together. ”Elements” is all about new material and also introducing Mattias Bender as a composer on one of the songs. The music has been elevated and we are so proud of the outcome!

During the recording new companions where added to our duo and we became 7 members at the core of the music. The drummer and the additional drummer are our own children, Mattias and Johanna, which gave the inner circle a great family touch! Upon that we found workingjoy with the handyman Henrik Björlind on extra synth, accordion, flute, fiddle and second guitar. Johanna and Henrik also sing all additional voices where it is needed. The current lead guitarist, Pär Helje, has a fantastic ear for rich sounds and the bass guitarist, Dennis Lindqvist, makes the foundation secure for the rest of our team. This is the inner core of this progressive music project! So, there you have a bit "about us". Please continue to read more and listen to music samples here on this website. /INTROITUS
