Tape's music moves between experimental music and pop without
effort and has been recognized internationally for it's particular
sound where electronics blend with all sorts of acoustic and electric
instruments.
Tape was formed in 2000 by brothers Andreas and Johan Berthling together with Tomas Hallonsten.
Their first recording Opera came out in 2002, the second - Milieu in 2003, both released on Häpna.
Tape have done shorter tours in Europe, the US and Japan.
In august 2005 Staalplaat released a live cd of Tape in their "Mort Aux Vaches" series.

Andreas Berthling has made records with electronic muisc under his own
name on labels such as Staalplaat, Fällt, Anechoic and Mitek. Plays
with the groups Frontroom Ensemble and Feed and is also active as sound
engineer.

Tomas Hallonsten's sheer musicality and ability to play several
instruments has led him to perform and record with a lot of different
swedish artists.
Outside of Tape, Johan Berthling works mostly as a double bassplayer
with musicians like Sten Sandell, Raymond Strid and Mats Gustafsson. He
has worked with swedish artists Nicolai Dunger, Stina Nordenstam, Goran
Kajfes among others.
