I have worked with music since 1984.

As a musician I have participated in a number of courses, plus taken private lessons at Norges Musikkhøyskole. (Norway..s Musical College)

I have worked with sound since 1992, and have studied at Norsk lydskole (now NISS Nordic institute of scene and studio)

Since 1995 I have exhibited my work/ installations at various galleries and exhibitions.

I have held approximately 500 shows in Europe, America and Africa plus worked with various artists from all parts of the world.

I have also worked with live- preformed sound for improvised theatre.

I have more than 50 releases as a musician in Norway and abroad.

As a sound technician/ producer he have been responsible for more than 40 productions in Norway and abroad

I have exhibited work at among other places: Stenersen museet, Oslo spektrum, at several occasions at Kunstnernes hus in Oslo, plus many smaller galleries in Norway and abroad.

I have also worked with children and culture, resulting in exhibitions, performance and other.

My work is mainly based on acoustic sounds, but I also work with electronic instruments, manipulation and effects.

I also work with photo and if necessary manipulation of photos.

Since 1995 I have studied ancient traditional music from various parts of the world. As a result of this , I was in Morocco in 1999 and 2002 to study Northern African traditional music and it..s connection to ancient Nordic music traditions.

Since the mid 90..s I' have been interested in music..s power to affect people both psychologically and physically, and has moved more and more towards studies of musical therapy.

I have also worked as a music instructor and conductor under the direction of NMF (Norges musikkorps forbund: Norway..s Band Association) Plus at various kinder gardens and schools in Oslo, where I have taken music into extensive use.

I am currently active with recording and production of music.

: Reviews
Music as diverse as their homeland’s geography, bridging old world sounds with modern technology. Silicates and stones run through samplers. Artifact flutes poured through electronic processors. Our grandfather’s tales sung through their grandson’s voices. A hybrid of traditional Scandinavian folk and textural ambient noise, celebrating life, friendship, and heritage.

We need to be closer.
We have grown to be so separated from each other.
There's people around you.
Touch someone today.
You'll be touched too.

another deal cover

Release: June 16th, 2008

'Another Deal' is the first single from the forthcoming Palace Of Pleasure album, scheduled for release in August/September 2008.

The single will be available as download only (iTunes etc.), but you can download it for free for a limited period at:
www. myspace. com/palaceofpleasure

Yes, I managed to miss the release of the first PoP single since I joined the band (and my first single release ever!), but that's what happens when you're in the middle of the north Atlantic, running around in
