On the Anette Tarstad - At EP, released in December 2008, Anette experiments with both sound and rhythm creating her own sensitive but strong mix of pop, rock and folk mixed with her storytelling lyrics. The EP includes the song Tickin', that goes in 11/8 beats in the verse and then changes into a 6/8 in the chorus. A song that came to her while bicycling up the hills of Sdermalm in Stockholm. She then worked hard with the song during almost a year to create it's form. On the record you can hear Andr Ferrari on percussion, a fantastic percussionist, that manages the different beats. On the second EP Pat Flavour, also released in December 2008, with the same name as her band Pat Flavour, she explored and found the sensitivity that can be created between a guitar and a voice when they know each other very well and therefore can follow each other and create an exciting mix. The first demo of the song Maybe Wrong Was Right was recorded in the attic of the guitarist Peter Alkeryds house and the sound that was created there was also the sound that Anette kept in the production of the EP when recorded in the studio. In 2012 Anette released the single Maybe, the first single from the upcoming CD that will be released later in 2012. We find her as songwriter, musician, singer and producer on this single as well as on the prior EPs. She continues to explore and deliver a sensitive but strong pop, rock and folk mix with her storytelling lyrics. With the single Maybe Anette Tarstad takes us out in the territory of pain when a relationship might end but where Anette takes us gently by the hand and leads us through the song and the question that maybe? The Flute was Anette Tarstad's first instrument. But she also sang, and one day her flute teacher, who had heard her singing asked if he could record her. A recording that unfortunately has disappeared. She played the flute in ensembles and at concerts and she started to write her own music together with her childhood friend Anna. Throughout the years she has played in bands, sung in different choirs and written many songs and lyrics both for music and poetry. In 2006 she studied rhythm and songwriting at RockMusikLinjen on Birkagrdens Folkhgskola in Stockholm for a year continued by another year of studies in sound production during which she recorded her two earlier EPs, Anette Tarstad - At and Pat Flavour. Anette also has written music for documentaries and for commercials and you can at times find her as a sound engineer at theaters in Stockholm.
