The Alvedons
The Alvedons is my more serious side project, even though we allow ourselves to have a lot of fun with music. We used to be three members; myself, Love Rönnelid and Jonatan Pontén, but the last year it has been only me and mr. Löve himself.
What kind of music we make differ. We often start off with something and ends up with a little bit of everything. Through the years we’ve tried doing rock, pop, bossa nova, fusion, jazz and even hard euro. The focus now is on a fusion between jazz and pop.
My role in the group is (like the other’s roles) multi-functional. I use to be the one who mixes it all together in the computer and tries reconnecting the cords when something doesn’t work. But I also do much of the drum programming, some of the keyboards, and a little bit of the bass playing. As well as I come up with ideas for songs.
We won the music contest Uppsala Musikskola’s Melodi-festival 2004! The song, called “Orange Lights” was performed by Cinna Gärdenfors.
