Hans-Peter Lindstrom Feedelity
Recordings - Norway
1.
What is the significance of your label name, Feedelity?
WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN MUSIC SOUNDS BOTH GOOD AND BAD AT THE SAME
TIME. AN ANNOYING FEEDBACK PLAYED REALLY LOUD ON AN EXPENSIVE
HIFI-SYSTEM .. HEHE
2. Tell us about your music, club culture background.
I USED TO PLAY KEYS AND GUITAR IN DIFFERENT COUNTRY
AND ROCK-BANDS IN THE 90'S. GOT EXPOSED TO CLUB-CULTURE
IN 1999 WHEN I BOUGHT A SAMPLER AND STARTED MAKING ELECTRONICA.
I STILL PLAY IN A REALLY NASTY COVER-BAND THOUGH ... :o)
3. Tell us about Norway, Oslo DJ House/Techno music
scene.
THERE'S A FEW REALLY TALENTED DJ'S AROUND HERE, SUCH
AS PRINS THOMAS, TODD TERJE, RUNE LINDBAEK, STRANGEFRUIT
AND G-HA ... EVERYBODY KNOWS EACH OTHER.... KOOL PEOPLE
4. What do you look for in a beat?
HM... USUALLY LOOK FOR THE MELODY ... IN MY OPINION,
THE MELODY IS THE BACKBONE OF A TRACK, THE BEAT IS JUST
A WRAPPING ...
5. Where do you continually get your inspiration?
MUSIC FROM THE 60'S, 70'S AND 80'S. ALL GENRES. ROCK,
POP, PSYCHEDELICA, COUNTRY ETC...
6. Which artists are you currently listening to?
HEHE... LATELY I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO LOTS TO YNGWIE
MALMSTEENS 1988-ALBUM 'ODYSSEY' ... AND A FEW BOB EZRIN-PRODUCED
ALBUMS: 'DESTROYER' BY KISS AND ALICE COOPER'S 'WELCOME
TO MY NIGHTMARE' ... NICE PRODUCTION, EXCELLENT SONGWRITING
AND NASTY GUITARS ... ACTUALLY I'VE BEEN INTO GUITAR-SOLOS
FOR A WHILE NOW ... THE SOLO FROM 'SHOUT IT OUT LOUD' IS
ONE OF MY FAVOURITES ALONG WITH THE CARPENTERS 'GOODBYE
TO LOVE'-SOLO ... JUST EXCELLENT !! IT CAN'T BE DONE MUCH
BETTER THAN THIS ... !! QUEENS 'THE GAME' HAS BEEN IN MY
MP3-PLAYER FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW, TOGETHER WITH JETHRO
TULLS 'SONGS
FROM THE WOOD', VAN DYKE PARKS 'SONG CYCLE' AND RAMSEY
LEWIS 'MOTHER NATURES SON'. MY MUSICAL TASTE IS CONSTANTLY
CHANGING. I RARELY LISTEN TO NEW MUSIC, BUT I LIKE THE
SOUNDS FROM HEADMAN, IDJUT BOYS, CHICKEN LIPS, HARVEY AND
DANIEL WANG ... RECENTLY THERE'S BEEN A FEW COMPILATIONS
WITH
OLD 80'S ELECTRONICA SUCH AS THE FIRST 'SERIE NOIRE'-COMP
AND THE FIRST 'TEUTONIC DISASTER'-COMP ON GOMMA WHICH ARE
QUITE GOOD ... CHECK MY MONTHLY CHARTS ON
WWW.FEEDELITY.COM ...
7. Your best place for music .. around the world?!
MAKING MUSIC IN MY STUDIO IN OSLO. JAPAN IS GOOD FOR
BUYING MUSIC THOUGH...
8. Samples or Analog equip. ?!
A BIT OF BOTH. THE MOST INTERESTING SOUNDS IS WHEN THOSE
2 ARE COMBINED. JUST LISTEN TO HOLGER CZUKAYS 'MOVIES'-ALBUM
...
9. Do you prefer vinyl or cd?
VINYL FOR DJ'ING, MP3S FOR HOME-LISTENING ...

CONTEMPORARY ELECTRONICA .... (I PROMISE THAT MY GUITAR-SOLOS
WILL BE FASTER ... HEHE )

+ dax DJ
biography:
Lindstrom is the moniker of Hans-Peter Lindstrom. Born
and raised on country &
western in the west coast of Norway, he now resides in
Oslo making electronic music with a nerve. Hans-Peter is
a multi instrumentalist, playing both drums, guitar, bass
and keyboards. The untitled EP on Feedelity Recordings,
feed000, is the first release from this young rascal. On
the next feedelity-release, feed001, Lindstrom has been
doing some serious songwriting. Together with Christabelle,
they've taken care of the melodic aspects in an attempt
to make an 'old-fashioned' electronica-pop-tune. Future
releases from Lindstrom includes a 4-track EP on Rune Lindbaeks
Romklang-label, a single together with Rune on US label
Modal, a remix
for Kangos (Trailerpark) new project Mi Corvano, a remix
of Fuzz Against Junk's modern classic "Country Klonk" on
Stevie Koteys Bearfunk-label, and a remix for norwegian
artists Fenomenon to be released on Beatservice.
