BIOGRAPHY
A good question. Well, I suppose it would not be fair to withhold such information from such a distinguished enquirer as yourself, now would it? Let us begin.

Why not start with the writing part? I usually move within the realms of science fiction and/or surrealism. I adapt style after subject matter, but there are a few things characteristics that are typical Birge. Firstly, I am fond of inventing words, slang or otherwise. Secondly, I try to make the sentences sing, though sometimes they scream instead. Sometimes communication is second to sound, but for the most part I try to contain my word-play creativity. You should also expect some rhymes. And dirty words.

So, with this brilliant technique, what comes out? When it comes to short stories, they are usually fairly straight-forward science-fiction, though perhaps unusually saturated with despair, madness and black humour. I have some special interests in telepathy, the nature of consciousness, greed and isolation so they quite naturally tends to (re-)surface in stories. Collectives, politics, telepathy and pseudo-history are particularly dominant in the nine stories that make up In the Name of the Future. Another recurring theme is the apocalypse in all its glorious shapes and colours, e.g. in "A Benevolent Supremacy", "Until the End of the Summer" or "Time Bomb".

When it comes to poetry, I am peculiarly uninterested in style. Devoid of conscious thought, I rely on SoC-style to produce poems that often seems to be nothing more than an excuse to produce filth and advocate nihilism. This, however, is not the case. I do put some value of the poetry I write, just not as much as I do on the prose. Though, perhaps, when I have produced a collection or two containing poems of adequate quality I will change my mind. But for now, it is mainly something that I do in order to maintain some sort of sanity and a breath of fresh air in writing.

Speaking of playing around with things, I also write music from time to time, which I have amused myself with for several years now, yet only improved marginally, something that is possibly linked to my taste in music. I have also taken an interest in producing humorous photoedits, some of which you can find here. That's about it as far as creativity goes, there is a certain limit as to what a man can do. So unless you are the sort of person to give me economic independence for life, that is how it will remain.

BIO: THE ORDINARY
I was born in Malmoe, Sweden, but grew up in Helsingborg. I attended school like a boy, years which can be summed up in "needs motivation".

After graduating obscurely I vowed, after my first few months office droning, to never slave ever again. That did not happen, but the motivation is important. I began studying English at universities around Sweden, but become sufficiently tired of the welfare state and decided to see a bit of Europe.

Fluent Swedish and English and tolerable German allowed me roam Europe, and I studied in Brighton, England, but after I became broke and barely survived another vicious encounter with office droning, I ended up living in Gdansk, Poland for a few months.

Broke again, I went back to studying, and ended up in Brighton again, where I currently live and study, hopefully having my BA at the end of 2006.

BIO: THE INTERESTING
Before I actually began writing, I had (and still have) other interests. I have always been into music, but never got around to really doing something about it. Although I still write a piece of music once in a while as Halocaust, which means harsh electronic enjoyment. Because I do not listen to my own music that often, I need the music of others, which means a lot of choice. Anything goes, from Mondschein to Scheissmessiah.

I used to do reviews for a now defunct website when I was in 6th Grade College, reviewing concerts and other things in Helsingborg. What actually convinced me that I could write was not as much self-hypnosis as the publication of "Time Bomb" in Revelation. I had frequented Dixon's other site, The Millennial Abyss, because I was a huge fan of Millennium. Hell, I still watch the episode "Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense" whenever I feel low.

If it was up to me, I'd like to possess Philip K. Dick's vision, the mind of William S. Burroughs, and the attitude f Hunter S. Thompson.
Which I will be working on for the next few months.
