Short Bio
---------
Started drumming lessons at the age of 10, in Sweden (where I was born), and picked up the basics from an elderly old-school jazz drummer. Bought a bass-guitar few years later and started slapping it together with a drummer and a keyboardist. The first band was borne (still in school age). Since then I've always been contemplating doing something musically original based on the endless flow of ideas and impressions passing my way. Even while playing in bands and doing jobs I kept on producing sounds on the side, with electronic, digital, instruments. Some of the accumulated results, after many years of pondering, I now present as Qubenzis Psy Audio.

I've been experimenting with audio and music technology and especially synthesizers since the day's of Atari computer with early Cubase, Yamaha DX7, Roland 808, Korg, EMU, Oberheim etc., also in traditional studio environment. More recently the Clavia Nord Modular has been my favorite synthesizer, opening yet another gate into the world of electronic and digital sound shaping.
Composed theater music and created environmental effects for radio stations as well as performance groups in Scandinavia.
I played live synth together with DJ's or as an effect/melody keyboard player with bands ranging from rock, funk and Celtic music to reggae and ethnic.
Dj Gigs during the last years: Rocket Festival Andalucia (2yrs), Dragon Festival Orgiva, Cafe Colonial (Marbella 2005), Marbella beach, Granada, Various private parties and after-parties, Al-Andalus Festival 2007 (Chill out Session), The Quantum Leap party, Coin, Spain 22/09/2007, La Chispa's Christmas celebration party, 21/12/2007.
Qubenzis's music is also played by radio djs and podcasters: Stations list

Qubenzis Psy Audio The style is inspired from psytrance, dark psy and other progressive electronic genres. QUBENZIS (now Psy Audio) evolved since the early 2000's and is produced by Ricky Maard.
The latest album, on coming is called 'The ufo Gnomes' and is inspired from Jaques Valles books and UFO research that suggests that E.T. is the latest in a procession of fauns, satyrs, leprechauns, incubi, and other spectral critters who have peered through the windows into our 3D reality.
Dj sessions are psychedelic and Goa trance, where I include my own music into the sets.
I also play ambient sessions presenting a voyage into a world of mind expansion and calm chill out, healing sounds that shower light and cosmic holographic information.
..Mother of Gods And Men, and Nature, Mother of All Things... ...Beginning And End are You, and You Alone rule All. For All Things are from You, and in You do All Things, Eternal One, come to their End.
