This is a piece of music written specifically for the book and release party of "Alt som teller" by norwegian author Ingrid Ovedie Volden.

The book tells us about 12-year old Petra, who believes in beautiful and harmonic even numbers. Then she discovers PI, which makes her puke. And then a boy...

This piece explores the music delivered to us by PI, translating the first 18 decimals of PI into tone values and hence music. And some more, like a recording of a 12 year old girl who knows the first 3141 decimals of PI by heart. And the frequency 432. And more...

Naturally, it lasts for 3 minutes and 14 seconds.

In addition, I add some live guitar to it when performing.

Please get in touch if you would like to know more abut the composition process.

Enjoy and thanks for listening!

Creating music puzzles for your enjoyment. I like Sherlock, Banksy and Bach. (Look for added layers of meaning in each song's music and lyrics...)

Jack of all trades. Master of nearly none. (But I make a decent pizza, and I can find porcini mushrooms.)

For a day job, I am product owner for a lot of digital assets at The National Library of Norway.

Off work, I do music, photography, climbing, snowboarding and skiing, mushroom foraging, fishing, and biking for fun.
