"Music Is What feelings sound like"

About Me

This musical journey started when a friend of mine listened to a demo. He encouraged me to really DO something about my music. After a while, a huge dream started to take shape. I live in Norway, and started to play when I was 6 years old. This was in 1979. Since then I have had many idols of course. But I must say that people and artists who truly follow their own way inspires me alot. Musicians who create in the moment.I will quote something a dear friend of mine shared with me here on Myspace. "Musicians can and do fool themselves everyday when they say they are making music. What they are doing is playing their instrument very well, This can be done by computers- What computers cannot deal with is Value/Meaning". - Keith Jarrett.Most of my music are instrumental. I do however enjoy singing very much. But I feel I need my song to be from the heart as well. Maybe just improvised sounds. Sing whatever it is I feel inside my heart. Sound without words. I consider music like almost a travel and a search inside ourselves. Past, present and future. So my own composings are affected very much by feelings. Happiness, sadness, longing, dreaming. But there are still so much to learn, how to seize the moment. That's why music is such a fantastic tool, you can never be fully taught. Just like life itself maybe. Music just goes on and on. Everyday has it's own music. Music is the language of the universe. Everyone has a connection with it at some point. Music is healing! So welcome in this journey with me. "If you let the unknown stop you, you'll get nowhere". I try to live by this motto:-)} a I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) ....

The spirit of nature

Some of us call it the force, spirit, God, the creator. I'm not a religious person, would rather call it spiritual. When someone calls me a new ager or something like that, it sort...
