Essentially I am, everything that I despise

About Me

Since I moved from the norwegian countryside to the capitol Oslo in 1995, I've been a part of the music scene here. Me and three friends started the band Number Seven Deli in 1997, with which we've released one EP ("I Used To Be Scared", BMG Ariola 2002) and the CDs "Falkner Street" (BMG Ariola 2003) and "Seconds" (Breakwater Records 2006).Since 2004 I've also been working on a self-titled solo-project, and in January 2005 "Linger Songs" came out on HoneyMilk Records.I will start to record my next album on April 30th assisted by Per Amund Solberg on bass Jørn Raknes on guitar and Paal Hausken on drums. The recordings will take place in Martin Hagfors' (Home Groan/Groan Alone/HGH) studios in Spydeberg and Oslo. Hopefully we'll get it ready for release in january/february 2008.I have written quite a few songs the last year and now I just want to get them on tape and move on. Some of them have have been made in collaboration with the highly skilled lyricist Herjulv Arnkvaern (aka Dr. Arnkvaern, aka The Soft Rebel), and some alone. Outtakes will be put out on this site during the sessions.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Recording has started

A hard life...

The last week's been a mess. First my Fender Twin blew up, then I crashed my car on the highway (and I don't have insurance) and last night I got awfully drunk, fell asleep on the train and woke up mi...

Planning new recording session
