About Me

Hei, folkens - og takk for besøk hit! Etter snart 30 år i det lokale/ regionale kulturlivet og drøyt 500 spelejobbar rundt om, kallar eg meg halv-profesjonell musikant. Eg spelar ymse strengeinstrument (fuskar også litt på keyboards og perkusjon) og har erfaring innan ymse stilar og format, mest i band-samanheng men også duo- og solo-prosjekter. Har utdanning frå m.a. Folkemusikkstudiet ved HiT avd. Rauland og Kulturstudiet ved HiT avd. Bø i Telemark. Har elles lang erfaring som konsertarrangør, produksjonsleiar og musikkskribent. Syslar også litt med instrumentbygging/ justering. Etter nokre år i det "stille" - der eg i hovudsak har drivi organisasjonsarbeid innanfor Norsk folkemusikk lokalt og regionalt, ynskjer eg no å "vekke opp att" multi-musikanten i meg. Er difor nå m.a. så smått igang med eit nytt prosjekt saman med ein annan lokal multi-instrumentalist. Meir om dette seinare. I tillegg tar eg på meg bookingoppdrag for andre, så langt interessa og tida strekk til. Den svenske folk-trioen "Margits sånger" og den amerikanske jazz-pianisten Chris Dundas er blandt "kundane" mine så langt. Det er berre å sende ei melding - enten du ynskjer musikalsk samarbeid eller treng hjelp med booking eller arrangering av konsertar, så finn me ut av det! Bildeserien nedanfor viser ei meir og mindre dekkande skildring av "musikk-karriera" mi så langt - nokså kronologisk gjennom 25 år + nokre fotos av spelemannsheltane mine ..... Nyare og forhåpentleg meir intressante lydopptak er snart klare... I mellomtida anbefalar eg dykk å besøke sidene til venene mine nedanfor! Alt godt til dykk alle! :-) ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------IN ENGLISH: Hello, folks - and thanks for visiting my site! Right or wrong; after nearly 30 years and some 500 gigs in various settings, I view myself as a semi-pro musician, playing various stringed instruments (+ "faking" some keyboards and percussion). In addition, I have quite a long experience as technical organizer/ head of production for concerts, festivals and other events + 10 years as freelance writer for some Norwegian newspapers and magazines re. traditional and roots-oriented music. In a modest way, I also build/ repair stringed instruments. As musician, I have experience in various styles and formats, mostly roots-/ folkmusic. My musical education is among others from the Norwegian Academy Of Traditional Music at Rauland in Telemark + Cultural studies at HiT in Bø in Telemark. After a few years "in silence" - working with Norwegian traditional music locally and regionally, I am now aiming for a "come-back" of the multi-musician in me. At the moment, I am about to start a new project with an other local multi-instrumentalist. More on that later. To some degree, I also take on booking concerts for those interested. The Swedish folk-trio "Margits sånger" and American jazz-pianist Chris Dundas are among my "customers" so far. Feel free to send me a message, whether interested in musical collaboration with me or wanting help booking concerts in my area (Norway/ Scandinavia)! The slideshow below shows a more or less representable and chronologic story of my "musical career" so far + a few photos of my local fiddleplaying heros ..... New and hopefully more interesting recordings coming up later... Meanwhile, I highly recommend visits to the sites of my friends below! All the best to all of you! :-)--------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------
