Somehow SoundCloud got stuck on this on repeat. didn't notice untill It played for the fifth time or something. Kept it looping while working until it was time for dinner. Still I keep coming back to it. Thumbs up.

This is my "In Space" album, which came from an idea back in 2018. I had just made Alpha Polaris, a song I just intended for background music for The 8-Bit Guy and his videos. After releasing it, it became popular with a lot of fans, so I soon made another one, Alpha Centauri B. This song was used by The Brick Channel and then got a lot of plays from his videos.

I got the idea of making an album with only slow, spaced out songs and put them on vinyl and cassettes. Some four years later, I finally got my crap together and finalised enough songs to actually fill this album, so here you are. 11 songs in more or less the same vibe, however some turned out to be a little more upbeat than the first ones, but hopefully this is  a good thing. Vinyl and MC is coming later this year.

In Space

Night Train To Saturn

Mika's Run

Just one of those songs that came out of nowhere. I felt I hadn't made anything worthwhile in a long time and just started on the initial arpeggio groove, added some Yamaha TX816 bells and leads, and the rest just fell into place like pearls on a string.

I asked my friends Håvard and Terje if they wanted to add some proper guitars instead of the MIDI guitars I laid down initially, and this is the result.  Pull down the roof on your convertible and start cruisin'! ;)

Retro Grooves Vol. 5

One Second

Don't Lose Your Head

A Better Tomorrow

I did this tune back in 2000 with hardware synths but never released it because it was so badly mixed. I converted it from Sonar to Cubase and made it to use only VST instruments. The end part mix is still a bit off as the final mix ended up being done during the night in a rush.

Too Many Datas Come Too Fast Inside

My contribution to The Sound of SceneSat Volume 6.
https://music.scenesat.com/album/the-sound-of-scenesat-volume-6

Using only hardware synths (and some drum and SID samples) I set out to make an all «analog» tune, using nothing but good old gear and keeping things retro. Apart from some drum samples and SID samples played by my Roland S770, 760 and such, all sounds are from old 80s and 90s synths. All Roland MKS, JX-3P, D-50, TR-707, Yamaha SY, TX, Ensoniq TS, SD, Fizmo, AKAI S612 and so on. All effects are external too, PCM-70, REV7, BigSky, DP/4+, TC 2290 and so on. Happy listening and greetings to the rest of the SceneSat crew!

Analog Love

Electronic musician from Norway. I started playing piano/keyboards in the mid 80s. After a few years at the municipal music school, I quickly grew tired of the simple piano-only education and got to move on to classes with keyboards and synths. From the early beginning with Technics K-200 rhythm keyboard from 1983 via some Casios/Hohner keyboards, I evolved with the later Technics KN-1000 and KN-2000 before moving on to Roland XP-50. As the computer revolution made DAWs affordable, 1999 made sequencing using Cubase easy and the studio grew ever larger with more outboard gear. Today the studio has become a sizeable and functional MIDI/arranging studio with over 40 synths/modules and more centered around a MacPro with MOTU’s Digital Performer, and numerous more or less famous productions.

I have always had a musical approach towards sound engineering and composing, rooted mainly in vivid harmonic structures and saturated compositions. Inspiration has always been the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Eric Serra to name a few giants in the electronic scene, but also a heart towards well produced pop music from the 70s and 80s as well as epic film scores from John Williams, Alan Silvestri and Hans Zimmer. The baby era of computer music from the late 80s and early 90s was also a heavy influence.
