Also requests of using our production and mixing skills for other artists and projects. Our in house writer and arranger, Martin Svensson is already put to work to make string arrangements for a major Japanese label and one of their artist, the fruit of a Midem meeting

Many meetings are booked with professionals from all over the world and we’ll also have our label meetings with our partners fron China, Japan and Germany to make plans for 2011 and 2012. Even if the doesn’t start until Sunday I’ve already meet some people, Peter Jenner (former manager of Pink Floyd) and we discussed our label deal in China. Peter is an expert on the Asian market from his western point of view. Tonight we have a “get together” event with all the Nordic countries and after that we have a “private” dinner with partners and friends.
