Mistaken For A Tree

I also post my work here: @https://soundcloud.com/Rehearsals2

Your soul is so beautiful/ Take my eyes with you / Mirrors will come handy

Sing your deepest sorrow / Let your soul touch the bottom of my heart

Life's too short for perfection / Enjoy your imperfect being

Life is too short
Imagine your pain
The poetry of rain
Sing it like a bird

Imagine your sorrow
The dark dance floor
Turn on colourful lights
Join the soul dancers

زندگی کوتاه است
درد و غم گر دارید

دردها را باید
جمله شعرِ تر دید
چون قناری نالید

غصه ها را باید
رنگِ دیگر بخشید
مثل رندان رقصید

A laboratory with an open bar and floating altar. Come on in! 

Here are various solo and collaborative projects - songs, soundscapes, live looped solo guitar improvisations. 

This project used to be called "imaginary friends", but it became too real for that name, as did many of you.

I hope you enjoy something you find here. Do feel free to be in touch, you never know what might happen.  

I also invite you to attend @hypnopompetus, a duo project with the illustrious Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley https://soundcloud.com/sel-sync, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.

I compose music for film, advertisements and to share here on soundcloud.  The greatest thing about music is that is doesn't just tell a story, but it can impact people on such a positive, powerful level.  If I can contribute to that impact, I've accomplished my goal.

Thanks for listening, liking and commenting!

All playing, vocals, composition are my own - unless credited.  I play directly on IOS synths on my iPad.  Most of what I do is layered improvisation.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...

I'm a Norwegian guy who loves to compose music. I am one half of "Sound Picture Studios" a little company that writes music for film productions. In the songs I try to capture different emotions I feel in my life and translate it into music. I hope you like it!
