Here's comes the second album made pretty much in the same spirit as the "ai" record, this time the theme leads us to space, space travel and related stuff! Each song has a different take on the theme. Thank you! Edvin for helping me out with a couple of guitar solos!
Have a listen!
ai
As an artist mostly dealing with videos and video installations, music has long been a driving force behind my work. For nearly 30 years, I’ve quietly composed music and sounds, that often accompanied my visual pieces but remained largely unshared. Now, I am excited to announce the release of my first record, exploring the complex relationship between Artificial Intelligence and contemporary life.
Each track offers a unique perspective on how people navigate this evolving landscape. Over the past year, I revisited my old instruments and crafted new soundscapes, weaving together both fresh compositions and older ideas that had been waiting to see the light of day.
The result is a collection that reflects my journey as an artist and “musician”, blending visual art with auditory expression. I invite you to join me on this exploration of sound and musical inquiry, as we reflect on our collective experience in an age increasingly defined by technology.
May these songs resonate with our experience of life in this digital age.
P.s. There are no Ai generators used in making of this musik (or at least non that I knew about, until i understood that the mastering tool i used was Ai- powered!)

earlier stuff on Soundcloud
mix from 2004 -2017
I found this material on an old hard-drive just the other day. I'ts a selection of forgotten songs-loops-sounds from 2004 to 2017. Sounds I've done along side of my videos and performances, some of them are ment to be in the videos but in most cases l have decided to leave them out. The Mars theme came from the first track and also because these works are as strange and unfamiliar for me as this red planet!
b-fold 2004
Sound project by Markku Ruotsalainen and Marcus Lerviks. "the History of Rhythm & Blues" performed on the street outside of the Platform gallery 5.8.2004 at the night of Art in Vasa, Finland. Our equipment was one turn table (for the History of Rhythm & Blues Ip-case) mixer, one laptop, amplifier, loudspeakers and microphones for the audience if they wanted to interact with the sounds. This is an uncut version of the event recorded through the mixer with all human mistakes when the audience accidently tripps over the cords …and so on!
bod 1 & 2
is a sound project by Peter Rosvik and Marcus Lerviks in 2002 and 03. The idea for the project was that one makes a sound file ( a loop of some kind) than sends it to the other, who in his turn manipulates the sound in various ways and sends it back. This went on until we agreed that its ready! In the end from these two cd:s we managed to keep this principal to about 50% of the sound files, so you may hear individual expressions and styles aswell.
you know we got some rules here..
Video/ sound installation that was presented in Ekenäs, Finland 1998 in a group show called "syner, sights, näkyjä". It was made for a video installation with the same name. the sounds are different sounds from the streets of Berlin recorded the same year.
only analog
This sound piece was made during a weekend in 1997. I packed my study room in Nykarleby full of different machines that make noise of any kind. A mixer so i could include multiple noises at the same time to the recordings and off corse only analog effects with lots of eco and feedback . The recordings where made with one-take to a dat-recorder.
