About Jörgen Sangsta

Sometime in 1969 I started my musical career.
Around 1972 I formed Skuggfaxe (Shadowfax), a four-piece group, mainly into free form improvised rock
One day in the summer of 1976, I found Oool Fjölkunnigr on my doorstep, and we ended eventually up in Canada, and formed a band, a great band. But problems forced me to leave, the Union was one..
Back in Sweden, I formed a trio we played a couple of gigs.
After a few other shortlived groups, I built Studio Urania, and went into the recording business.
In 1982 I was forced to move the studio, and in the process I got some money and a much bigger place to house the studio in.... So there I built a stage, and was shortly in charge of a club, with recording facilities.
Freddie Wadling and his Cortex recorded with me, as did plenty of national, and some international groups.
Studio Urania also became a label, I first only made cassette-productions. A long-time co-operation with welsh percussionist Steve Hubback changed that. (expired link)
Steve recorded an album and several cassettes while with the Urania-label. The swedish cajun-band Suede Zydeco also recorded an album, and ended up persuading me to join on bass. We toured a lot in Sweden, played on ferry-boats to Denmark, and a mini tour in the USA.
Well, all things come to an end...in 1993 Studio Urania was forced to close down. Since then I just make music in my basement-studio, and play some guitar.
