Intro:

Hi! Welcome to my profile! I am still figuring out where to begin... and what to publish here about myself. ;-)
One thing I do know, though, is that I would like to encourage you to write questions to The Real Group in the Forum! We are planning to spend many hours there.
The Real Group has always communicated a lot with people thru email and replied to all sorts of questions. Quite often I have been thinking "what if more than one person could read this email that I am writing".
I am also thinking about the Site Friendship function. Now I would say that I am a very friendly type of guy, and I have a personal relation to quite a lot of people who might be interested in joining The Real Community.
Of course I will accept Friend Requests from all of you that I already know!
To those of you who I don't know yet, however, I would like to say that I am looking forward to get to know you through the Forums!
- so please don't take it personally if I would reject your Friend Request!

My musical background:
|
My dad and my uncle play guitar and I wanted to be like them. My grandfather played violin... and my mother wanted me to be more like him, I guess! ;-) So I first went to a violin teacher, and later when I was 13 and old enough to make my own decisions, I picked up the guitar. My dad taught me the standard blues chord changes, and since then I have more or less taught myself how to play.
When I was 20, I had a girl-friend who said to me that I would waste my life if I became a lawyer or doctor. So I sent an application to the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm.
I spent five years there, and made very rapid progress, I would say, simply because I had found what I really wanted to do.
Those years changed my life, I learned many things that you must go to a school to learn. When I graduated from the Academy in 1989, The Real Group had already established ourselves professionally.
Then I became a professional a cappella singer. A most unusual job. And I have learned many things that you cannot learn in any school.

My interest in vocal music started because...:
|
I listened to Beatles a lot when I was a kid. I still think their ensemble singing is great. Simple and effective.
Then I went to Adolf Fredrik's Music Classes in high school. That school is all about choir singing.
I heard Swingle Singers live, in 1982. They had a very talented bass singer named Simon Grant, who sang walking bass lines, quite jazzy & very cool. First time I thought a cappella singing could be Hip.
Then I saw a video with Bobby McFerrin in concert - that was a major door opener for me.
|
|
In ten years from now, I believe I will...:
|
Sing, compose, arrange and teach. Play guitar in a trio that has 3-4 local gigs per year.
I definitely will have made at least one CD where I play guitar and sing solo!
My major in college was composition/arranging. Among other things that I have done, but rarely have time for, for various reasons, is to write orchestral scores.
I also have done a bit of Csound programming. Maybe some day I'll do a record with Really weird electronic music. ;-)

Peder Karlsson posted a comment on the article Impressions from Solevoci - day two:Wayne - yes you're right about the jury. We all wanted to emphasize the positive aspects of singing for each other, rather than giving focus to the competitional aspect. It's quite interesting really; it seems to me that it is the Singers who as...
