Lightning on Galatea - a little something on the wild side! High octane prog/fusion instrumental with sizzling horns, keys/piano pyrotechnics, rip roaring sax leads, a positive blast of fine power drumming (and more!). Embracing something of the sound world of classic outfits such as Yes, Focus, Sky, Steely Dan and the like but at the same time distinctively original. Dave on keys, an assemblage of other fine international musicians in the mix and some dynamic mastering down at Abbey Road Studios (Simon Gibson). Surefire muso therapy for all who have a taste for old school instrumental high jinks.

Sjonkel Rolfsen is a vinyl enthusiast and music collector from Trondheim in Norway. He has been welding records at local venues and events for two decades. Nowadays, he mostly enjoys to fiddle around with experimental and ambient in the comfort of his humble abode, but still get the odd epiphany to wonder out into the enchanting world of house and techno. When he is not fumbling about on the decks, he likes to travel. He tries to play with the possibility of combining electronica and leftfield soundscapes, in a mixcast friendly way, catering to your everyday soundtrack needs.

Sometimes introspective; always driven by a wider social conscience and a sense of human fragility. Touching on topics that tear at the heart of the human condition (loneliness, love and loss, homelessness/poverty, social exclusion).  And, there again, what’s a songsmith if not a conjurer of dreams? Dreams to lift us, if but for a moment, above the dull vicissitudes of life. Dreams of a world reimagined, that brave souls will always aspire to whatever the cost (Martin Luther King Jr...). A glimmer of unfeigned empathy. A glimpse of sunshine after rain. Music offered as a little healing for troubled times; a solace for the soul; a little heartfelt scattering of dreams - tread softly! 'Our life is no dream; but it ought to become one, and perhaps will' (Novalis)
