After finishing the first three CD's with Poppsykosen, I turned to see what else I could put on CD.
I came in mind of two big projects with experimental music I've been involved in.

In relation to a friends graduation in music on KDAS in 1982, I was asked to make some "electronic music". Back in 1979 I attended Robert Fripp's performance at Glyptoteket in Copenhagen, where he played his Frippertronics. It was quite an experience and in the years to follow I experimented with this technique. So when asked to make a performance, the choice naturally fell on Frippertronics.

In 1986 a friend asked me to collaborate to make an art installation which involved light and music. I made these very experimental pieces. Due to dissagreements the performance was never carried out.

In 1994 a radio programme called "Go" dealing with techno music in DR asked the listeners to send in a jingle to open the show. I thought "I can do that" and I made this little thing, which they actually played.
