Ulf Pettersson - Composer/Producer


I am a composer and producer specializing in providing a wide range of electronica and new age music for Film and Television to various music libraries all over the world.

 

My music is frequently described as being emotional and evocative, with a strong sense of inherent imagery. My melodies are often surrounded by rich textures of sound, but can also be very minimalistic, and sparse. It all depends on what the music is trying to express.

I have more than thirty years of experience in the music business, and I have the ability to quickly translate any concept or idea into the world of sound.

Here are some comments from leading A&R people in the business:

"These three tracks have all got a unique and interesting sound, in a smooth yet inventive direction. The sounds are fantastic (great ethereal pads, awesome drums and cool dirty guitars and basses) and the overall vibe is cool and quirky".

"The arrangement, sound choices, engineering, and overall production truly speak to the soul while using the language of music instead of words. This song is amazing and is sure to inspire, enlighten, and stimulate the minds of each and every listener".

“Well refined electronic tracks with a tasteful AND hooky melodic approach.The tracks build well and have a strong visual and moody vibe”.

“Dear Ulf, Your production and arrangements are excellent, it was a real pleasure listening to your pieces, This song has a whimsical and buoying beauty that just makes me want to go dance outside. Great work!”

“A very appealing groove and excellent use of synth pads and samples. Reminds me of Jens Gad's (Enigma) solo work.”

 

“All three tracks are quite impressive in terms of composition, performance and production. To my ears, these all sound potentially viable for the pitch.

July 2010:

It didn't quite work out updating the news section more regulary as I promised in April. Lots of stuff to do.

At last I've finished the third Modern Meditations production. Not too happy with the end result as the label decided to shift the stylistic approach, going from a more production oriented style to a performance based approach. I would have feldt somewhat uncomfortable creating performance based tracks on piano, but it was even worse when it's guitar we're talking about. I can't play guitar, and I never will - there are too many strings too close together for me.

It is still not yet decided whether or not I'm moving on with the fourth Modern Meditation production I was set out to do. Lets see what they have in store.

Now I'm going on a nice and well earned vacation, and when I get back I will continue finishing off the Galleon album adding some missing keyboards. At last I'll get to play keyboard again.

Have a nice summer!
