His early works are very varied. Ranging from electro & trance/techno to drumnbass & game-influenced melodic stuff. All kinds of electronica and “blip blop”. He also made some remixes, mostly of video games and anime series. He worked with FT2 until last quarter of 1999, when he started dreaming of having his own little hardware/midi-based studio… A year later he had converted fully to his new dream studio. The reason he chose syntheseizers and the electronic sound before buying an acoustic guitar is simple. You can do so much more with electronics! Also, early video game and computer music made a huge impact. Chris Hülsbeck, Rob Hubbard, Yuzo Koshiro, Nobuo Uematsu, Yasunori Mitsuda, Michiru Yamane, Koji Kondo. You name it, he listened and loved them all. And still do, of course. :) These days he’s trying to concentrate his music towards the electropop-scene. Very minimal, simple and melodic. For vocals most of the time a vocoder is used. “Robots are so much cooler”, he says… You can listen to the electropop project right here at last.fm, or at www.myspace.com/glejsmusic. Some shortened clips for all of you to enjoy. If you are interested in hearing his “old school” music, created with the freeware music program “Fasttracker 2”, check out the album “the module years 1996-1999” right here at last.fm! This collection is a total ego trip, where he’s chosen his own favourite tunes and remixes. It is split into 3 subfolders. First folder is called “The Beginning”, and contains very early works. Second folder is called “XM Heaven”, and is the highlight of his tracker career. Third folder, “The Remixes” contains remixes made by him (mostly videogame related) and of people who’ve remixed his songs. He has also released tracks as “Glenn Liljestrand”, which can be listened to here http://www.last.fm/music/Glenn+Liljestrand. Might be worth checking out if you like ambient melodic electronica. Think Kitaro, Jarre, Vangelis, ISAN, and perhaps some of Nobuo Uematsu’s works.
