Chill out

Still, just an idea ;o)(It's ment as a tribute to my old band; Rjukan Boller & Blues)
All instruments are recorded at first take and there is no "mercy" even if there was faults. The vocallyrics are just "making up as we go" therefore there is some "My babe" in the lyrics ;o)
I use a Gretsch for solo, Telecaster for rythm, Warwick Nobby Meidel for bass, Yamaha DTexpress IV for drums and a Roland U20 for horns. 

Now She Is Gone (Just drawingboardstuff yet)

Just having fun with an idea. Everything is recorded at first take and the lyrics and vocal are "on the go" So don't pay too much attention to that ;o)
I use an old Ovation Adamas ac.guitar tuned down to C-major as slideguitar, an old Takamine ac.guitar for rythmguitar, A Hohner harmonica, a Cort fretless ac.bass and Yamaha DTexpress IV for drums. The mainchallenge was that I recorded the slideguitar first without any "beat-help", but it made a nice "live-feeling" to the recording ;o)

Dont Regret It! (Not finished with vocals or mix)

This is still an idea for the drawingboard but it's my dream that one day I will be able to put this out with a bunch of musicfriends and make a stagesetting of it. The idea is that we will never be able to stop fighting if we don't talk and listen to each other. Often it can seem to be impossible to sit down at the table to discuss solutions, but it is very, very possible! Just look what they did in South-Africa, look at what Nelson Mandela did, look at what dr. Martin Luther King did, listen to what bishop Desmond Tutu speaks about! The discussiontable can feel as a unclimeable table but it is possible! That's why I called the tune Table mountain (named after a famous mountain in Cape Town)

I use a Stratocaster for solo and "picking"-guitar. A Takamine ac.guitar for rythmguitar, A Warwick Nobby Meidel for bass, Yamaha Explorer IV for drums and a Roland U20 for keyboardsounds.

Table Mountain - Vimba

A little piece I wrote and recorded to set focus at violence against woman and children. I recorded the saxophone first so therefore it's not always in "tune" with the rest ;o) I'm no great sax-player either!! :o)

Hush now little butterfly

Just a small tribute to Howlin' Wolf. All recorded at first take. I use a Telecaster, a Cort fretless bass, a Roland U20 for piano, a Hohner harmonica and Yamaha DTxpressIV for drums.
It's supposed to sound "swampy" ;o) I tried to get some "live-feeling" ;o)

Smokestack Lightning - Tribute

I am a person who enjoys playing music with different expressions and different categories. I play many instruments and have been doing that for several years though I never had a goal in beeing great in either of them. (I don't like to practise...)
I play the guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, saxophone, harmonica and have been a conductor of choirs and schoolbands. I also likes to sing sometimes. The mainthing for me is to  to create and play music. The best time for me is when I can play together with fellow musicians and just let the world pass..... ;o) For me music is a happening, that's why I love the "live"-setting.
