About Me

This project is me all alone. I also play in bands like Slowburn, DEL, Kobi, Lucia, We snakes, Marmont and various other constellations. I have also collaborated with Makoto Kawabata (Acid mothers..), Mitsuru Tabata (Zeni Geva, Marble sheep), Mark Francombe (Ex Cranes guitarist), Bill Wood (1/3 octave band). It's both lo-fi pop, weird folk, noiserock and free-noise. Common for all the projects is the homespun lo-fi production, tape hiss, lots of different instruments and sounds sources, and a big part of the music is always improvised. Much of this has been released on various formats. The records are available trough my homepage [ http://www.apartmentrecords.com/fns/ ].

My Blog

Great review from Popopdrops!

Jo mer vi lytter, jo fattigere blir ord. For her har Sevendal skapt noe av det beste vi har hørt i år. Og vel så det. Vi kjenner ham først og fremst fra Slowburn, men dette er en ren solo, for gitarer...
