About Me

About me: 30 years old, lives in Copenhagen. Spends time blowing sounds out of the trombone, writing tunes on pieces of paper for small bands and big bands, conducting and soundpainting spontaneous compositions in thin air....

Graduated from the rhythmic music conservatory in Copenhagen.

About the music: the piece "Miele Special Electric 753W" is inspired by my washing-machine and written for the Norwegian Radio Orchestra in 2004. "Copenhagen Counterpoint" is my Bach/Reich inspired piece for 12 trombones (all of them played by me). "Love for Sale" is a short arrangement of the standard tune for the Norwegian Radio Orchestra.

Check out my band Magnify's new album - just out now. Have a listen...
