I am Calle "Arzenik" Johannesson, a highly creative individual who thrives in areas outside the box. Originally from Sweden, I currently reside in the Chicago area. My career as well as side interests life have encompassed many areas of creative exploration, from graphic design, UI and UX design (my last profession was manager of UX at Oracle), but also what I mainly focus on now, which is music production. I love a good creative challenge that inspires, and I am not stuck in one lane but am very much in favor of exploration. In music, I can go light and tender or menacing, all the way to epic loud hybrid instrumentation that includes industrial elements and heavy guitars and metal drumming. I am looking for projects with other creative and open minded individuals in projects that are fearless or needs exploration, and can go unexpected places that still serves the purpose. At 52 years old I have plenty of life experience and am very familiar with problem solving with great positivity and enthusiasm.
