About Me

I am a norwegian artist/musician drawing inspiration from the dark and burlesque to the etheral and angelic.

I make weird, little tunes mostly for my own pleasure, but also for use in installations and performances. Also I am writing longer pieces that I don't know how to label. I'll add them here by and by. For other projects or bands that I am/ have been involved with, either artistically or musically, check out Paradigma, Mara and the Inner Strangeness, Ashes to Ashes (nor) and Hagalaz' Runedance (session musician/programming).

The tracks on my profile are demos. I posted them just to give an impression of what I am up to. It has taken me some while to do it though, because I am such a perfectionist and these tracks are still far from the result I want to achieve. They are however a representative selection.
You can read more about the tracks in my blog.
