a
contemporary
electronic
music
producer

Sweden.
In
an
era
of
digital
slop
and
cheap
sample
packs,
Harald
draws
inspiration
from

natural
world,
incorporating
field-recorded
elements
ranging
from
nocturnal
forest
ambiences
to
the
raw
beauty
of
the
world's
landscapes.
From
the
haunting
echoes
of
the
woods
at
night
to
the
winds
at
the
highest
mountain
peaks
of
Scandinavia,
Harald
captures
these
elements
and
translates
them
for
the
dancefloor.
With
earth's
varying
wilderness
and
its
sonics,
Harald
brings
a
unique
sound
experience
to
his
sets.

dedication
for
making
music
that

for
the
world
to
experience.
With
a
decade
of
experience
crafting
tracks
for
the
dancefloor,
Harald
knows
how
to
get
the
rave
experience
anywhere
—
whether
they
are
in
a
dimly
lit
basement
bar
or
at
a
major
festival.
His
music
always
hits
home
for
those
who
hear
it.
Logo
The letter "H" is derived from the first letter of his birth name, Harald. The split in the upper-left branch of the "H" is a highly abstracted representation of a boat's sails. It reflects Harald’s philosophy on life: you cannot go against the wind, but you can steer and move with it. Just as one cannot go against nature, only design and make choices around it.
"Revery" means "daydreamer" ("dagdrömmare" in Swedish), a recurrent name recalled by teachers in his youth. When it came to pick something to release music with, it felt like a natural fit for the atmospheric nature of his genre of music.
Frequently Asked Questions
Honestly, just telling someone about my music; share it!
Yes! I think that the visual graphics for a track reflects the effort of the song itself. I made the song hence I should do the cover art, it’s truly my art. I even made a font (the one you see on this website) to match the logo that I use for everything related to this project.
If I have time and can travel to said location, then yes!
The contact page has the information about that.
Hardware: Main setup is Yamaha HS7 with Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 and a Hitachi AX-M76E system for reference listening. I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 for another set of HS7 when not in my studio at home. For field-recordings I use Zoom H8.
Software: FL Studio is my main DAW (unfortunately). For synths I use Harmor (built into FL Studio), Native Instruments Rounds, Xfer Serum, Surge, Odin 2 and Arminator2 (got a softspot for jankware). For making kicks I use Sonic Academy Kick 2, but I also use Geonkick. My go to equalizer is ReaPlugs ReaEQ, since I just want good performance and no delays with routing automation, it just works. For LFO volume stuff I use Gross Beat or TiagoLr GATE-12. For reverb I use ValhallaSupermassive if I want to save CPU or Native Instruments Raum if I want to be fancy. For delay effects I just use the Fruity Delay 3.
Not signed to anything, 100% independent.
My parents pushed me to play the guitar, but I never put any effort into it, then I switched over to the piano instead thinking it would be better; nope! I lost interest fast and my parent’s money was wasted there too. That’s my only “musical background“ I guess. Ironically when I was 15 and I stopped taking piano lessons that’s when I started learning music production on my own. My educational background is physics, I hold bachelor's degree in engineering physics.
For live streaming my music; a quick mention of the track is appreciated. For internet content (such as content in TikTok, Youtube, Facebook formats) I’m fine with just you providing a link in the description/post (of said content) to my social media profiles (instagram and/or soundloud) if you use one of my songs. If it’s for film or TV; contact me about it.
