Reel / Presentation

4 minutes about me. Self-taught composer working in indie classical and alternative music. Has composed film music and now works with opera. Background as creepy disco wood nymph (oh, now you’ll have to scroll). Downloadable CV in GoogleDocs.

Indie-classical music

Love theme, neo-romantic piece performed by Catharina Chen and other first-class musicians. Read the interview in The Strad or the review in Ballade (in Norwegian).

Another version of the piece – for saw – was playlisted by YouTube

Heroin Chic, melodic contemporary opera that I am creating together with writer Maria Kjos Fonn. Here Mirsaeed Hosseiny Panah plays the glassy instrument santur and singer Susanna Wolff wrenches out her soul.

This summer, “Give me the sun” and “Elise’s lament” were (ur) performed in Stavanger concert hall. You can see the report about me here Distriktsnytt. I used the majestic organ to really ravage people’s bodies. Music is a physical whole-body experience!

Other music

Sun + Skyman, a kind of jazz with the use of great instruments from the Middle East (qanun and yayli tanbur) together with synth, rhodes etc.

Om Song, a kind of electronica with a mixture of electronic, acoustic and concrete sounds.

Excerpts from an EP with Om Song, Gnos Mo and remixes by otheres that I have VJed myself. The entire film can be watched her.

I’m terribly fond of disco and strange humor. Here is an attempt at both with the song and music video Super-Sister.

Sync and film music

The dystopian feelgood song Boogie With Your Bonnie was used in DR’s series “Pleaser”

In 2020 I had the honor of creating the music for the documentary film Hans pluss Liv by Mari Bakke Riise (produced by Margreth Olin / Speranza film). It is a film about lifelong love, and about dementia and death.
