TOBIAS BERNSTRUP
"Re-animate me"

New CD, Sept. 28.


Fargfabriken is proud to present "Re-animate me", a CD by Tobias Bernstrup
featuring songs composed and performed by the artist. This is Bernstrup's
first unlimited-edition CD and is published by Fargfabriken.

"Re-animate me" will be officially released on September 28 with a big
party at Fargfabriken, where Tobias Bernstrup will do his first public
performance in Sweden since his move to Berlin in 2000. The Fargfabriken
show will be followed by a series of promotional performances, beginning
with the Palais de Tokyo in Paris on October 3. There are also plans for
later performances in New York, Chicago and elsewhere.

For Tobias Bernstrup to make an unlimited-edition CD is a logical next
step in his artistic career, in which music has always played a central
role. Almost all of his works, be they animation videos, interactive
computer games or performances, feature his own music, produced by the
artist. In performances he plays his own music live. Since 1997, Bernstrup
has done performances in many parts of the world, including Stockholm, New
York, Mexico City, Chicago, Milan, Basel, Berlin and Venice. At
Fargfabriken he did a performance for the "Teleport Diner" project in
2000.

The new material on "Re-animate me" is closely connected with the world of
computer games which Bernstrup also inhabits. This is heavily hinted at in
the song titles: Jpeg-boy; Polygon Lover; Videodrome; and Re-Animator. As
earlier, the music is especially influenced by 1980s Italo-synth pop, but
with a somewhat heavier sound than before, including both heavy-metal
guitar and New Romantic.

Tobias Bernstrup has lived and worked in Berlin since 2000. Before that he
lived in Stockholm, where he attended Konsthogskolan between 1993 and
1998. During the autumn of 2002 and spring of 2003, he is the holder of a
studio grant at ISCP in New York. "Re-animate me" is Bernstrup's first
full music CD. In publishing it, Fargfabriken confirms its commitment to
providing production platforms as well as exhibition space. The CD will be
available at Fargfabriken and at selected outlets in Stockholm and abroad.
It will be priced as a normal music CD.
