About Me

I am a musician living in Oslo, Norway. I play the doublebass, the electric bass, the baritone guitar, acoustic and electronic noise with the groups to your left. Also collaborating with other musicians, dancers and performanceartists.
Kennel Collective is a good thing. Kennel gathers some of the bands I play with.
