Peder af Ugglas

Starting at an early age Peder taught himself boogie-woogie on piano later turning to classical music.
However the call of rock and jazz became predominant with the music of Louis Armstrong, Jan Johansson and the Rolling Stones among the main sources of his inspiration.
Later the guitar became his main instrument. Nevertheless, all types of keyboards and piano continues to play a significant role in his musical productions.

He has worked together with many prominent Swedish artists, including Louise Hoffsten, Anders Widmark, Stefan Sundstr¦m and Sara Isaksson, producing several of Stefan's albums and Sara's latest. He also played in the Bob Manning band for a number of years.

For about the last ten years he has composed the music for exhibitions of the work of artists Christer Themptander and Hasse Lindroth, as well as composing music for both cinema and television films.
His approach to his own music is characterized and very much influenced by impressions and experiences, atmosphere and feelings.

Together with harmonica-player and vocalist Bj¦rn Hamrin, who was co-producer of this album, he has the band Topolinos - a band from which many of the musicians on this album are drawn.
