Influences: MUSIC:Duke Ellington once said that there are only two kinds of music, good music and bad music. I prefer good music. To me good music is: Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Laurie Anderson, Nina Hagen, Bjork, Ojos de Brujo, Camaron de la Isla, Enrique Morente, Paco de Lucia, , Astor Piazzolla, Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portuondo, Jan Garbarek, Mari Boine, Palle Mikkelborg, Zakir Hussain, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, John Scofield, Pat Metheney, Elvin Jones, Weather Report, Led Zeppelin, Kaizers Orchestra, Afenngin, Teitur, Eivor, Hanus Johanesen, Kári Sverrison...etc...etc. BOOKS: At the moment I have fallen madly in love with Jonathan Safran Foer´s writing. His novels "Everything is illuminated" and "Extremely loud and incredibly close" blew me a way. Foer is a great liar. Some of the other great liars I´ve read are William Heinesen, William Blake, William Shakespeare, Phillip Pullman, JRR Tolkien, Mario Vargas Llosa, Gabriel Garcia Marques, Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Paul Auster, Einar Már Guðmundsson, Carl Johan Jensen and Woody Allen. THEATER AND FILM :Since I basically was born and raised in a theater, I have very strong feelings about the art of acting and directing, even though this is the art form that I, strangely enough, performe the least.
Playwriters like Shakespeare, Dario Fo and Lorca are some of the Gods that I grew up with.
I love the Cohen Brothers, the Wachowski Brothers, Scott Mantz, Francis Ford Coppola, Milos Forman, Woody Allen and other fantastic directors.
I love Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Nicole Kidman, Edward Norton, John Malkovich, Penelope Cruz, Woody Allen and other fantastic actors.
I love One flew over the cuckoo´s nest, The Godfather, A Clockwork orange, the big lebowski, the Matrix Moulin rouge, Amelie, Snatch, Festen....... and almost all Woody Allen movies. But my greatest influences of all are my parents, my grandparents and all the children I´ve ever met. Children are masters of fantasy and therefore great teachers of fantasy.
