New album "The Swans" - 12 Valses Melancoliques
The great success of my first series "Valses melancoliques encouraged me to continue this musical idea of melancholic valses, resulting in 12 new valses from C minor to B minor.

Now I am more than happy to announce that the brilliant pianist Danaë Xanthe Vlasse (https://soundcloud.com/danae-vlasse) from Los Angeles / USA has recorded the whole series! Danaë performs these works in a masterful way, bringing interpretive variety to each waltz such that each piece portrays distinct character, and all are a delight to hear!

I´m glad you found me and making music is the best I know.
When I composed the album "Shadowdance" I tried to make sense of the beauty when melody and harmony interact and with the wish that this will affect the listener.
I wrote it to put into sound that which cannot be expressed through words. 
To navigate the waters of the deep soul. 
To explore the melodies that flow in my veins.
Please share my music with your friends if you like it.

Have a nice day,
Kristoffer.

Hommage à Notre Dame de Paris - (15 avril 2019) 

Notre-Dame, l'âme de tous les français... cette sérénade est inspirée de la nuit tragique du 15 avril 2019, elle est mon élan d'espoir et d'union avec mes frères et sœurs de France et du monde.

La seule pensée qui me vienne au-delà des émotions, des phrasés, est cette prière vivante qui s'élève des cœurs des hommes vers notre Mère du Ciel :

Salve, Regína,
Mater misericórdiæ,
vita, dulcédo et spes nostra, salve.

Ad te clamámus,
éxsules fílii Evæ.

Ad te suspirámus geméntes et flentes
in hac lacrimárum valle.

Eia ergo, advocáta nostra,
illos tuos misericórdes óculos  ad nos convérte.

Et Iesum benedíctum fructum ventris tui,
nobis, post hoc exsílium, osténde.

O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Virgo María.
