my biography

Music producer from Stockholm, Sweden.
Perhaps most known as Ypsilon 5, but I'm not going to hit you with something hard if you haven't heard of me nor anything that I've produced ;o)

I started playing the Clarinette at the age of nine and the Piano at the age of ten. Fell in love with the synthetic sounds created by Jarre with my dad had recorded his live performance from Docklands, England, and got my first synthesizer at the age of 13. I'm very interested in the wide electronica scene and I'm creating mostly everything from slow and rhythmic soundscapes to fast, uplifting, goa-trance.

More information about the projects I'm involved with at the portfolio links below. If you have any questions - don't hesitate to drop me a line in my inbox.

To make room for a new song, I removed "Golden Butterflies". But fear not. You can download it here.

Title: Crystal: Description: Just a short and happy dance (future trance?) track I did tonight (December 1st, 2007)
Title: DJ Rkod - Space-Based Utopia (Pretorium Illusion Remix): Description: Tried to Pretorium-ify my favourite DJ Rkod track, Space-Based Utopia. It's a bit short for being a Pretorium track, I know but time ran out of my hands. Might do another one, off-contest. Hope you like it as much as I like the original track.
Title: Ypsilon 5 - Cosmic Psychosis: Description: This is one of my favourite track from my goa trance album Binary Sky released in march 2004. I think you can hear very strong influences by Man With No Name, Total Eclipse, Transwave, Astral Projection and perhaps M.F.G.? Anyway, it's a trip worth taking ;o) A preview of the album can be found here: http://www.cutpaste.org/?page_id=52
Title: Nachmahd - Abnormal Termination (Live): Description: This one was written during during a solo session when I was trying out some demo effects. I sampled some sounds of my K2000 I had back then (2001) and I encoutered some errors which later became effect sounds/glitches in the song. You have to USE your equipment - right? ;o) Performed by Fred Muskos, guitars. Patrik Rydberg, synths. David Lilja, more synths. Recorded live by Fredrik Yngstrom (huge thanx!)
Title: Pretorium - Melody of Illusion: Description: Written for my Pretorium project.
