Visit his MySpace <a contents="here" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.myspace.com/kjellharaldsson" target="_blank">here</a>!<br><br><i>Do you enjoy playing live shows or working in the studio more? And why?</i><br><br>Live definitely! I think that music should be "organic" and "alive". I love to enter the stage with the feeling that anyhing could happen.<br><br><i>What’s a typical day in the studio like?</i><br><br>With HFMC it was kinda special. The album is mainly recorded at a studio in the picturesque mid-swedish countryside. Calm but very inspiring evironment.<br><br>Hasse blew the reveille 8 a.m every morning. Then we collectively showered ,had breakfast and marched from the hostel down to the studio. Sessions started at 9 a.m and finished about 10 p.m. Hard work but coffee, chinese food kept us in a good mood. Honestly, I think I´ve never been laughing that much ever. I nearly got "abs" after that week.<br><br><i>What has been your greatest professional moment so far?</i><br><br>I have the opportunity to have been working/touring with a lot of inspiring musicians but I think all the tours with Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple) Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow) and Michael Schenker (Scorpions, UFO, MSG) is a great experience<br><br><i>Where is a venue you would love to play but haven’t had a chance yet?</i><br><br>I can´t think of any but I have to say something so I say Madison Square Garden even though I prefer small and intimate venues<br><br><i>How does songwriting within the band go?</i><br><br>Hasse does all the writing, we´re just puppets ;-)<br><br><i>How did you get into music?</i><br><br>I´v been addicted to music since I wore diapers (11) ..seriously. I was paralysed by the radio at age of three. especially from the magic hammond sound. at school everyone who wanted to play any instrument had to start with the flute. The teacher was so mean so I swapped to piano in panic. That´s how :)<br><br><i>Who are some of your musical influences?</i><br><br>Well.. I get inspiration from all kind of music. From metal to ambience, from bebop to folk music.. If I have to drop a few names then: Charlie Parker, Weather report, Genesis, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Marillion, Debussy, Focus, Michael Ruff, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Jamiroquai, Sting, Michael McDonald, Jimmy Smith, Marvin Gaye, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Bach, Miles Davies, Earth Wind & Fire, Billy Talent, Made in Sweden, Solar Plexus, Coltrane, Black Sabbath, Coldplay, Bowie, MSG, Vangelis, Oscar Peterson, Pettersson-Berger, Grieg, Jan Johansson and of course Stevie Wonder<br><br><i>How did you come to be in this band?</i><br><br>Hasse called me. I would guess I was number 17 on his list of corpulent, bearded keyboard players ;)))<br><br><i>What’s the first album you ever owned?</i><br><br>Merit Hemmingsson "Bergtagen"<br><br><i>What are some of your musical goals?</i><br><br>Next goal is my own album<br><br><i>Do you have a “day job”? If so what is it?</i><br><br>music teacher<br><br><i>What equipment do you use?</i><br><br>I use gear from Roland, Clavia, Leslie and a few cool "plug-ins" and a coffee machine from OBH-Nordica<br><br><i>What other projects are you involved with?</i><br><br>apart from working with international acts like Glenn Hughes and Michael Schenker I´m also playing with various swedish rock/pop stars and loads of coverbands.

And why?</i><br><br>Policeman, stuntman, astronomer, artist, palentologist.. I haven´t decided yet<br><br><i>What’s your favorite book or movie? And why?</i><br><br>Books: Favourite author right now is Arto Paasilinna<br>Movies: Of course I love the works of the masters like Tarantino, Coppola, Forman etc. Right now I´m a bit into danish movies. The Pusher triology, Von Trier etc<br><br><i>Tell us an embarrassing story about you!</i><br><br>Not now, there are way to many of them. I will publish it all in a separate book later ;)<br><br><i>Outside of music, what’s your favorite hobby? And why?</i><br><br>I like movies, cooking, travelling (is this a dating site? ;)) ..nice chat over a pint down at the pub ain´t too bad either.<br><br><i>Pirates or ninjas? And why?</i><br><br>Look at me, what do you think? ;) (I used to train a lot of martial arts when I was young though, believe it or not )<br><br><i>What’s your favorite holiday? And why?</i><br><br>Hard to choose. Lazy days in a pool at Gran Canaria or London´s nightlife or just a relaxing week in a cottage in the fabulous north of Sweden? I think I`d rather go for the cottage.<br><br><i>If you were stranded on a deserted island, what five things would you want to have with you? And why?</i><br><br>1. A solar powered satelite phone<br>2. An inflatable hotell (it comes with an endless supply of chicken tikka and sangria)<br>3. A nice and understanding woman (not that inflatable kind)<br>4. Bug spray<br>5. Thor Heyerdahl (he´s been around)<br><br><i>If you were King of the World what’s the first thing you would change?

Check out his MySpace <a contents="here" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.myspace.com/t_thomsson" target="_blank">here</a>! <br><br><i>Do you enjoy playing live shows or working in the studio more? And why?</i><br><br>I think im more of a live guy, a good gig with good audience response is fantastic, we did some records back in the 80:s and HFMC..s recording is the first record production for me in a while.<br><br><i>What’s a typical day in the studio like?</i><br><br>With HFMC..s recording we all play together in the studio recording the drums, bass and rhythm guitars. We did that to get some live feeling, I think its more common nowadays to record each instrument separately. A typical day: you wake up at 8.00, take a shower, eat breakfast, go to the studio at 9.00. get all your equipment in shape, you decide which song to play, rehearse the tune a couple of times. Then you start record. Sometimes you got it on the first take other times you have to take 4 -5 times. With this HFMC recording it was most important to get the drums right, everything else can you do overdubs later. I have some bass lines to make some overdubs with and some octave bass to.<br><br><i>What has been your greatest professional moment so far?</i><br><br>That’s a hard question to answer because I have been playing since 1979 in so much different constellations but one cool moment were when we recorded our second album with Spellbound in London 1985 for six weeks with producer Vic Maile who was a famous producer at the time. I think I have make thousands of gigs since then with audiences from 30 people to thousands.<br><br><i>Where is a venue you would love to play but haven’t had a chance yet?</i><br><br>Right now I very much would like to play some cool venue in the US with HFMC I think.<br><br><i>How does songwriting within the band go?</i><br><br>Its Hasse who write the music and the lyrics in HFMC. Until now he has a complete song he presents to us and we rehearse that. We arrange our own instruments our self and all the guitar and keyboard solos does Anton and Kjell arrange themselves. I think Hasse already got some new songs for the next album.<br><br><i>How did you get into music?</i><br><br>I have always been interested in music, I got my first electric guitar 1979, it was so bad you hardly could play on it. I got a friend who teach me some chords and we put a band together. I start to play with Hasse Fröberg I think 1979-1980 something, and since then we have played together in different constellations.<br><br><i>Who are some of your musical influences?</i><br><br>Nowadays I listen to all kinds of music, I like new young bands, listen to everything from trad.jazz to new metalbands. One of my favourite bassplayer is Geddy Lee from Rush, I was a big Rush fan from the middle of the 70..s. I saw them live in Sweden 1979, that was a hallelulja moment for me.<br><br><i>How did you come to be in this band?</i><br><br>I was asked by Hasse to join HFMC in October 2008 I think, Hasse is one of my oldest buddies, we have known each other since we where 5 years old. We had not done something like this together since the time in Spellbound so I was very glad that Hasse asked me and said yes directly, Ola Strandberg was also in Spellbound and I know and also been playing with Kjell Haraldsson. Anton Lindsjö was a new friendship for me, a great guy and a fantastic guitar player.<br><br><i>What’s the first album you ever owned?</i><br><br>My first own record I think was Queen “ Sheer heart attack”.<br><br><i>What are some of your musical goals?</i><br><br>The goals changes over the years I think, when you were younger you should take over the world but now you release that it isn..t that easy. I love playing music and my goals now its first that HFMC is doing great and to reach out to as many people as possible and to tour with HFMC.<br><br><i>Do you have a “day job”? If so what is it?</i><br><br>I work as chief at a transportation company in Stockholm.<br><br><i>What equipment do you use?</i><br><br>For the moment I have one 2002 black & white Gibson thunderbird and a 2008 Fender jazzbass “special equipped. I use EBS amplifier 450 top and a EBS 410 speakercabinet. I also use EBS effectpedals like octabass, chorus, dist. Etc.<br><br><i>What other projects are you involved with?</i><br><br>I play with a coverband and we use to play both in Sweden and Finland and do great gigs. Sometimes I use to play with all sorts of constellations when im asked.<br><br>Some Silly Questions:<br><br><i>What’s your favorite dessert?</i><br><br>Vanilla ice cream with syryp!!<br><br><i>When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? And why?</i><br><br>I think like everybody else I would like to be police or fire soldier??<br><br><i>What’s your favorite book or movie? And why?</i><br><br>Favorite books I think its 3 books written by a Swede called Stieg Larsson, but he died a couple of years ago but that’s a really good trilogy. Favorite movie I think something of Quentin Tarrantino like Pulp fiction or Kill Bill. I really like hes movies.<br><br><i>Tell us an embarrassing story about you!</i><br><br>Hhmmm…i cant think of any story just now.<br><br><i>Outside of music, what’s your favorite hobby? And why?</i><br><br>I like do do things with my hands like carpenting, build things, I think that’s what you can call my hobby.<br><br><i>Pirates or ninjas? And why?</i><br><br>Pirates because they are much cooler!!<br><br><i>What’s your favorite holiday? And why?</i><br><br>Favourite holiday is were I am right now, on the Swedish island Gotland during the summertime, I stay in a house just 150 meters from the sea and its beautiful nature and so calm.<br><br><i>If you were stranded on a deserted island, what five things would you want to have with you? And why?</i><br><br>bass, amplifier, i-phone, laptop so you can log into HFMC..s site to see what happens and finally sunglasses so you can look cool on the island…hehe<br><br><i>If you were King of the World what’s the first thing you would change? And why?</i><br><br>Wow…that’s a big question!!!! Probably I suppose to say that all the wars is over and all starving people could have food etc. But I think that I would changed all the people to be more understanding to each other between skin color and religions etc.<br><br><i>Do you have any pets?</i><br><br>I have a dog, a Rottweiler called Alice.<br><br><br><br> </div>HFMC (Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion)tag:hfmcband.com,2005:Post/558852009-11-09T00:00:00+01:002022-07-28T14:18:57+02:00Ola Strandberg<i>Ola is playing drums in HFMC.<br><br>Do you enjoy playing live shows or working in the studio more? And why?</i><br><br>I can’t say I favor one to the other, I like working in the studio as well as perform in a live situation but in different ways. My approach to play rehearsed songs in the studio for an album is somewhat different to a live performance where I want my playing to be more or less as on the recorded piece, but also at some point a bit dissimilar to keep myself and the listener happy. That would mean me playing my parts in a different fashion or the whole band doing things out of the common like jamming more than in the studio.<br><br>Whereas in the studio, most of my playing has been rehearsed and worked out to please the song the most. In a recording situation I want my playing to feel comfortable and in time with the other instruments. It requires that I play along to a click track to keep the tempo for the song and I focus more on my own playing and not so much the other guys.<br><br>Playing live however, usually no click is being used and I really need to hear what my fellow musicians are playing to keep the song together. A lot of adrenaline comes out of playing on stage so I need to focus on the right feel and the right tempo for the music as well.<br><br><i>What’s a typical day in the studio like?</i><br><br>For the HFMC recording, we had a time schedule that we followed every day. We started off rather early in the morning and worked until 10 a clock in the evening before heading back to the hotel for some food and drinks and discussions regarding how the work has been so far.<br><br>For my part, a half hour warm up behind the kit and then making sure all is set for recording the next song. I would decide what song to record since the most vital thing is to get the drum parts right, the other instruments are easy to overdub if not being perfect.<br><br>The recording of the songs may look different from one song to another. With HFMC we altered some of the tempos on a couple of the songs and that required a new approach to playing for my part anyhow. In any case we recorded 2 or 3 songs a day and things went very well I think, we had good energy in the studio and felt no tension when playing. The studio itself was an excellent place to be working in and with Petrus Königsson as engineer things went really smooth as always with real professionals. Petrus is a great guy with big ears and fresh thoughts on recording and approaching the songs. People often say that a producer/engineer becomes a new member of the band when recording, and in this case it turned out to be just like that.<br><br><i>What has been your greatest professional moment so far?</i><br><br>That really depends on what “greatest “means I guess. In the mid eighties I had great times with Hasse and Thomson in the band Spellbound where we recorded and played a lot with great success. I once played at this huge sports arena in Latvia for 10.000 people with a country rock band, also that a great professional moment for me. Working with other musicians and create music in any form is also moments of joy. That could mean just playing together or making an album like with HFMC where I had the opportunity to work with great musicians.<br><br><i>Where is a venue you would love to play but haven’t had a chance yet?</i><br><br>Obviously there are a lot of places or venues I would like to play; it’s hard to name one particularly. In the near future I am hoping to play festivals in Europe which I have always found is a pleasant way to play with other bands and get to meet all kinds of musicians. I also enjoy small venues like clubs/pubs where you get much closer to the audience and the connection to the listener is closer than the big stages. Should I name places I have dreamed of playing since childhood it would be Wembley Arena and Madison Square Garden...<br><br><i>How does songwriting within the band go?</i><br><br>As for the music on this CD, Hasse wrote all the material and had all the music pretty much in his head with a clear idea of what sound he required. As for drum parts, Hasse might have an suggestion of a groove or a beat in various parts of a song and generally I try to get the emotion of the song and from there on construct the rhythm parts to fit what the rest of the instruments are doing. Hasse is also a great drummer so any idea he might have is most often the right for the song. When we started to run through the material there were a lot of different types of songs, and it was quite interesting to work on all the parts of the songs. My playing in the studio is pretty much the same as the rehearsed ones, a few changes were made due to tempo changes or for other reasons made the song need a different beat or to be played in another fashion.<br><br><i>How did you get into music?</i><br><br>As a kid, I was constantly into listening to music and playing music with my brothers and sisters. My parents had this band playing dance music so there was always music in the house and sometimes they rehearsed in our basement where I loved to sit and listen. That was my first contact with actual instruments and instead of playing on pillows and buckets I got to try real drums and guitars – what a thrill. Later on, my brother Alf had this band and they needed a bass player so I joined my first band at that time. At the age of 13 I got my first drum kit, a black Pearl Export 5-piece kit with shining cymbals and I got into drumming more seriously. Me and my brother started a new band and played a lot in different venues in our local hometown. In that band I played with JJ Marsh for the first time and we had quite a few good songs and started to build ourselves a reputation as a good live band around town.<br><br><i>Who are some of your musical influences?</i><br><br>My musical influences vary from time to time, I might want to listen to classical music to ease my mind and just the same listen to heavy rock oriented music to get a sense of power and energy. The majority of my time awake I listen to music in some form, at home, in the car or out walking.<br><br>Music I listen to for inspiration could be from people like Joni Mitchell, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Genesis, Yes, Neil Young, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull, Miles Davis and many others. Drummers that have influenced me in different ways are (among others...) Phil Collins, Bill Bruford, Ian Paice, Morgan Ågren, Peter Erskine, Terry Bozzio, Manu Katché, Trilok Gurtu, and Vinnie Colaiuta.<br><br><i>How did you come to be in this band?</i><br><br>I knew that a lot of people thought Hasse ought to make his own record like the other members of The Flower Kings have done past the years, and that it truly would be about time he should record his own music. I couldn’t agree more and when he approached me and asked should I be interested in participating in that project I instantly accepted. At that time I think I was the first he asked and had I any suggestions on potential musicians to join this project? Indeed I had, and Hasse himself had a few names he had been thinking about, he knew about Kjelle and thought he’d fit in playing keyboards and I fully agreed. Kjelle is a killer musician and a swell guy to play with. His playing is beautiful and sensitive and covers all styles of music you might think about. As for guitar/bass player he had some ideas and I recommended this guy I had been playing with recently named Anton Lindsjö. A fantastic musician and guitar player with this one in a million tone and a master in finding the right tones/chords to fit the music. Anton is a very humble person and great to be around. As for bass player, longtime friend/band mate Thomas Thomson accepted to join the band when Hasse asked him and the lineup was complete. Playing with Thomson feels safe, he is a solid player with a heavy groove and on top of it all, the funniest man I have ever known.<br><br><i>What’s the first album you ever owned?</i><br><br>I still remember to his day when me and my brother went down to the local record store and bought KISS Alive! I think I was about 10 years old and was completely blown away by this album and KISS became my very favorite band for a long time to come. My brother had this tape recorder and we used to listen to bands like Nazareth, Status Quo and BTO. I still bear in mind the sense of magic playing the record on my dad’s stereo and watching the cover and I think my dream of becoming a musician truly started at that point.<br><br><i>What are some of your musical goals?</i><br><br>In my musical progress I’d like to accomplish several things, as well as improving my drumming skills I want to develop my songwriting.<br>When writing music I use guitar most of the time but also piano/keyboard so continuing learning to play those instrument is also a part of that goal.<br><br>Playing with different people/musicians is also a thing I want to do more, I have other musical projects I will work on in the future where one of many goals are to record my music and perform that music in a live situation.<br><br>Learning more about how to record music on a technical level and to produce music would also be a challenge.<br><br><i>What equipment do you use?</i><br><br>For the HFMC recording I used the following equipment:<br><br>Drums:<br>Pearl<br>MLX Series<br>8”, 10”, 12” Tom-tom<br>16”, 18” Floor tom<br>22” Bass drum<br>14”x 6.5 Snare drum, Pearl Free Floating Maple<br>13”x 4.5 Mapex Piccolo Snare drum.<br>Remo Roto toms 6”, 8”, 10”<br><br>Cymbals:<br>Paiste/Sabian<br>20” Power Ride Paiste 3000 Series<br>18” Studio Crash Sabian AAX Series<br>18” China Paiste Rude Series<br>16” Stage Crash Sabian AAX Series<br>16” Crash Sabian Paragon Series<br>16” Mellow China Paiste 3000 Series<br>14” Dark Crisp Hihat Paiste Signature Series<br>10” Splash Sabian AAX Series<br><br>All heads are Remo Coated Ambassador/Emperor<br>Sticks Vic Firth 5B Extreme<br><br><i>What other projects are you involved with?</i><br><br>Alongside this band I am involved in a few additional musical projects.<br><br>One is my “own” group where me and my longtime band mate Patric Nylén at present are writing and rehearsing new music. We have been playing together for some time and if I would describe the sound I would say the music is quite progressive with a very melodic formula. At the side of the two of us there is Mats Lundqvist, a fabulous keyboard player in the school of Banks/Wakeman. At this time the three of us are looking for fellow musicians to complete the band and with a bit of luck we will record our music next year which I’m really looking forward to.<br><br>Next to this, I’m writing songs for an instrumental trio that has not yet taken certain form. I wish to explore more in a musical way that will include me playing in a lot more technical way/approach. What other instruments will be included are still yet unveiled but I have an idea of maybe two drummers and two keyboard players.HFMC (Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion)tag:hfmcband.com,2005:Post/558842009-11-09T00:00:00+01:002023-12-10T20:22:08+01:00Anton LindsjöAnton is the lead guitarist for HFMC. Learn more about him <a contents="here" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.myspace.com/antonshreddar" target="_blank">here</a>!<br><br><i>Do you enjoy playing live shows or working in the studio more? And why?</i><br><br>That's a tie for me. I have a love/hate relationship with being in the studio. I love the endless posibilities and control it presents and the feeling of creating something new from scratch. But it also involves the self created preassure from being a perfectionist. I'm never REALLY get totally satisfied. Live is a whole different thing. There's an energy<br>live that you never get in the studio.<br><br><i>What's a typical day in the studio like?</i><br><br>Recrording mainly at home, I rarely have a full day in the studio per say. For the most part I record at night. That's the time when I get relaxed and my creative spirit kicks in.<br><br><i>What has been your greatest professional moment so far?</i><br><br>Very hard to say. It's hard for anything to compete with the first years of playing when everything you did was a new groundbreaking experience. Going to London playing for a week with my old band is one of the best touring experiences I had.<br><br><i>Where is a venue you would love to play but haven't had a chance yet?</i><br><br>Wow, there's a lot of them. Actually I'm not too particular about that.<br>But I'd love to go overseas to play!<br><br><i>How does songwriting within the band go?</i><br><br>As these are all Hasses songs, most of the music is already done. Hasse has all the parts in his head and rehearsing them was just a matter of learning his parts and build upon them. Saying that, I still feel that I have alot of freedom to put my soul and touch into the music.<br><br><i>How did you get into music?</i><br><br>I sung a lot at a very erarly age. In school, this was such a problem for the teachers and classmates, having this little guy never shutting up. Luckily there was this school with scheduled choir music. So there was a lot of classical music in my younger years. Growing up I discovered Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gay, Boys to men and a lot of other black soul music. In 8th grade my brother got a bass guitar. After trying it out and realising that there couldn't be two bassplayers in the family I figured<br>I'd havea go at guitar. Soon I discovered Kiss and Europe and all of a sudden, rock guitar was the only thing I was intressted in.<br><br><i>Who are some of your musical influences?</i><br><br>I have already mensioned a lot of my early ones. But when it comes to guitar, the 80s have always facinating me. My first idols were Gary Moore, Bruce Kulick, Kee Marcello and Yngwie Malmsteen. After getting into Yngwie I got really stinged with the shred thing and one om my biggest influences from that period is Paul Gilbert. Later influences would be Brett Garsed and Guthrie Govan.<br><br><i>How did you come to be in this band?</i><br><br>I met Ola when we played together for a short period of time in another band. I felt an instant bond both personally as well as musically. We played a few gigs together and then split. Maybe six months later I get an early morning phone call from a stranger named Hasse asking me to join this band of his. The one responsible and for me to thank is Ola who had told Hasse about me.<br><br><i>What's the first album you ever owned?</i><br><br>That might be MJs Bad. I still remeber the sensation of something otherworldy coming out of the speakers.<br><br><i>What are some of your musical goals?</i><br><br>My only musical goal is to always try to do things as close to my personal ideals at all times, as long as the music benefits from it of course. But I need to feel that the music is expressive, at least to MY ears.<br><br><i>Do you have a day job?? If so what is it?</i><br><br>I'm a youth recreation leader and work with kids and teenagers. I also run a rehearsal space for young rockbands as well as leading a choir.<br><br><i>What equipment do you use?</i><br><br>I change equipment a lot, being a total gearhead, but at the moment my arsenal consists of Soldano, Fender and Blackstar amps. Guitars are mainly Bach, LP and tele. And then there are a good 30+ effects pedals to choose from.<br><br><i>What other projects are you involved with?</i><br><br>At the moment I play with a country band called Helena-Maria and the Western Joy. There are a lot of temporary projects where a contribute with recording or playing live for a one off gig.<br><br>Some Silly Questions:<br><br><i>What's your favorite dessert?</i><br><br>Not a very bit fan of desserts but I do love chocolate so anything<br>chocolaty.<br><br><i>When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? And why?</i><br><br>I was determined to be a miniature painter for Games workshop through my high school years. Used to draw alot when I was younger but for some reason music took over. I still enjoy being creative with a pencil though.<br><br><i>What's your favorite book or movie? And why?</i><br><br>Hard question but Forrest Gump I still love watching.<br><br><i>Tell us an embarrassing story about you!</i><br><br>My first big choir consert at the age of 7 and I had this solo vers in<br>front of 2000+ people. My vers comes and all I can utter is -uhhh...<br><br><i>Outside of music, what's your favorite hobby? And why?</i><br><br>Right now it's basket ball. I've been playing a lot this summer which was<br>very good for me. And my body.<br><br><i>Pirates or ninjas? And why?</i><br><br>Ninjas! Love their elegancy!<br><br><i>What's your favorite holiday? And why?</i><br><br>Not sure. But for now I can't wait for the winter and some snowboarding.<br><br><i>If you were stranded on a deserted island, what five things<br>would you want to have with you? And why?</i><br><br>Woah! That probably would be an acoustic and four slinky e-strings. I tend to break these all the time lately. :(<br><br><i>If you were King of the World what?s the first thing youwould change? And why?</i><br><br>Putting someone else in that throne.<br><br><i>Do you have any pets?</i><br><br>No but I used to have a cat called Ofelia Magnificat Misserere (misse = cat) but it was far to long a name to say so we called her Buffy.<br><br><br> HFMC (Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion)
