Sweaty armpits

I had enough of fashion now for a while. After London fashion week I feel like I have to go home and listen to The Residents, Nick Cave and Diamanda Galas. But I am staying in London a few days more and I’m gonna see Årabrot perform tomorrow night which is the perfect antidote to the feeling of hopelessness a fashion party can give you. I need to meet sweaty arm pits, hang out in a dirty...

A hole day of traveling across England. Started from home 05.45 this morning. Tired. I have a few meetings in London tomorrow and my label guy is taking me from Portsmouth to London at 150 km per h tomorrow morning. I managed to get some new samples in the can today. My little Akai lpk 25 is perfect on the plane and the train. I’m trying out Jens Bjørneboe’s poem “Mitt...

After a weekend of rehearsals I am full of ideas and want to just keep on forever. But my loved MS 20 is broken. I dropped it to the floor last gig and now it doesn’t follow me at all. Anarchistic sounds are coming out. I have to go and see the synth doctor. But I’m very happy about my new rehearsal space and it works brilliantly. I can’t wait to play live again. Today I played...

Me and David are rehearsing today. Three hours have past and we haven’t made a sound yet. Playing electronic music with a band of two people takes a lot of connecting cable time. I am writing a setlist for our next gig. We’ll start with………taking off our clothes?

This week I’ve finally landed at home and I’m making my new rehearsal space/studio a bit more cozy. The interior includes a rat trap loaded with cheese. My new house mate didn’t bite it last night though and I wonder wether he would like parmesan better than Gouda. Me and Kjetil are working on our instrumental project right now. It’s good to do something different...

Ok ,DJ at Weekday today. I forgot my headphones. I had to go all the way back to my friends house to pick them up only to realize he wasn’t home and we live in an age where we call each other on the phone to check availability before we go anywhere. Fuck. I was one hour late but when I finally got to Weekday, I played great music. I had to buy new headphones though. I also bought a car...

I want to show you some pictures by Johannes Fransen. He happens to be my cousin but more important he is a great photographer. He travels to corners of the world that not everyone have the guts to visit. And he tells people about it through his interesting photographs. Follow the link and take a look. http://www.johannesfrandsen.com/

Metal riffs and a broken trailer

30.09.11 Me and Kjetil had a little jam session last night , in the church hall which is now our living room. I played bass guitar at first and he played the drums. After a couple of lame metal riffs I went over to church organ. It’s my thing. First time I’ve ever made a song on such an instrument. With dimmed light crowns hanging from the ceiling and big windows whispering along,...
