Mattias Olsson (born 9 January 1975) started his career as a classical percussionist playing in orchestras and big bands on Ekerö outside of Stockholm. As a sideline to recording and producing bands Mattias Olsson writes articles (music related) for several Swedish Magazines. ==Early life== He was born in Hong Kong to Swedish parents. In 1981 he moved to Stockholm. Starting as a drummer at eight years old he started off playing in big bands, pop and classical ensembles. When he was 17 he joined progressive rock band Änglagård. Änglagård consisted of musicians from Ekerö as well as Waxholm. The band was heavily influenced by bands such as King Crimson, Yes and Genesis but also listened to less famous bands such as Shylock, Cathedral and Yezda Urfa. Änglagård quickly became known for their instrumentation skills and their dynamic range often reminiscent of classical music. When the band started the current trend in progressive rock was to use the newest digital equipment. Änglagård decided instead to use old classic prog equipment like the Rickenbacker bass, Mini Moog and the Mellotron. Änglagård recorded two studio albums in the 1990s, Hybris and Epilog. They also recorded a live album called Buried Alive. The title was a joke from Mattias, ''the worst title for a live album must be ...Buried Alive''. After a long hiatus the band released their third album ''Viljans Öga'' in 2012. He also did some sessions with White Willow and Pär Lindh. After Änglagård, he joined Swedish pop band Pineforest Crunch who have so far recorded three albums: ''Make Believe'', ''Watergarden'' and ''Panamarenko''. The band's influences ranged from R.E.M, American Music Club to King Crimson and the Sundays. Pineforest Crunch had a very strong D.I.Y ethos and recorded six demos before getting signed to Abbas old label Polar. The band had a hit from the first album, "Cup Noodle Song". The single was a hit in Sweden and Japan and lead to intensive touring. The second album, ''Watergarden'', was recorded in England with Radiohead producer Jim Warren. ''Watergarden'' mixed orchestral textures with mellotrons and experimental guitars. Parallel with Pineforest Crunch, he started playing drums and occasional keyboards with Reminder. He has since then played in numerous projects and is now active as a record producer. He has recorded albums with Deadwood Forest, Devi, Clockwork, AK-momo, Nanook of the North, Vijaya and others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mattias Olsson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
