I have always liked the sound of the flute.
There are many of them. I was looking for a specific sound. 
But I didn't know what it was called correctly. 
Finally, years later, I found the flute I wanted. I was so happy. 
This type of flute is called "Low Whistle C#". Kind of Native American style.
I wanted to add a flute to at least one song.but then it became part of Leafage and was added to several songs. Very unexpected for me.
Also i found myself to play on some percussion (djembe) and Jew's harp (Vargan, Dan Moi)
It brings some Folk vibes to songs. Especially on this one "Resurrection" track


Leafage - Resurrection

"Somebody call an ambulance!! But not for me!!"💀✝️

„Then I looked on all my works that mine hands had wrought, and on the travail 
that I had labored to do: and behold, all is vanity and vexation of the spirit: and 
there is no profit under the sun“.  
(Ecclesiastes, 2:11)

….what is the d’Dorf vibe….?……

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by my SoundCloud page!

Looking for collabs! DM me!

Thank you for supporting me and listening to my music!

I quit my secondary job not long ago, so i guess this is my secondary job now. (?)

I'm an independent musician exploring different genres and styles that resonate with me. I play drums, guitar, bass and keyboards, and I’m always looking to grow.

These days I focus on the Lofi - Chillhop style. Not constantly, but I try to push its boundaries a bit, e.g. with unconventional time signatures (7/8, 5/4, etc.).

My philosophy in music is simple:
If we don’t lift each other up, who will? The industry won’t. So let’s support and inspire one another. If you have the power to help, use it—otherwise, what’s the point?

...oh, I've never used or will use AI for my music.

My new single, "A Crimson Stain", is out now!


My new album, "No Glimmer",  under my own name is out now!

LORRIDI is a Folk/Viking Power Metal one-man band by Jan Magne Garte. Taking inspiration from the sagas of the viking age and norse mythology, Garte creates vivid images of the old gods and warriors through his music and lyrics.

Born in Norway, 1971. At the age of 16, Jan Magne Garte played bass in different bands starting in the mid '80s. Growing in popularity and opening for some of the most popular Norwegian Rock bands at the time. By the early 2000s, Garte started expanding his repertoire by singing songs himself and switching from bass to guitar.

Around the same time his parental duties would start to take the focus from the music, and his career as a musician   took a hiatus for almost two decades. Now after all this time, his love for making music has truly rekindled and the old musician has returned. 

All of his music is heavly influenced by the songs of his youth, from genres such as '80s hard rock, heavy metal, thrash, but also taking notes from the next generation of musicians.

Garte also has another solo project under his own name. 
All tracks were composed, arranged, recorded and mastered by Garte himself.

Hello Folks, 

Welcome to my humble page! A little about me: Mid 30s  business lady by day, music obsessed creative fiend by night. I do mean OBSESSED….Music lives in my head and can not stop coming out of it! I grew up listening  to  all kinds of music so my  creations have been influenced by live instruments and orchestral melodies marrying the  beat and rhythm of dance music.  Piano - trained and a hobby vocalist of sorts , music is  how I deal with the world.  As of 2024 , embarking on a  journey to learning the guzheng and cello. Some paint some build, some write… This girl tells stories with her music.  Take a pause and listen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy setting  them loose into the world ! 

Ps.  If you are an artist, message me if you would like to collaborate. I enjoy bringing musical creations to life :) 

Ps. 2: If you are an agent or a business wanting to get in touch with me regarding commissioning or commercial music projects, please note I WILL NOT respond to any messages of this nature, UNLESS they contain the following information: your full name and the name of the business you represent, your LinkedIn profile, description of the project you are needing help with and your PROFESSIONAL contact information. 

Cheers, 

Iryna

Jan Magne Garte is a Norwegian musician and solo artist in the heavy metal and hard rock genres. Born in 1971, he is originally from Surnadal in Møre og Romsdal, but recently moved (as of early 2025) to Hitra.

Born in Kristiansand in the south of Norway in 1971.
In '75 he and his family moved to the small village of Surnadal,and at the age of 16 he had started playing bass in different bands. His last band would eventually grow in popularity and open for some of the most popular Norwegian rock bands at the time.

By the early 2000s Garte had started a band with some of his best friends and expanded his repertoire by writing his own songs, singing and switching from bass to guitar. Around the same time his parental duties would start to take the focus from the music and his career as a musician would take a hiatus for almost two decades. 
Now after all this time, his love for making music has truly rekindled and the old musician has returned. 

All of his music is heavly influenced by the songs of his youth, from genres such as '80s hard rock, heavy metal, thrash, but also taking notes from the next generation of musicians.

Garte also has another solo project under the name LORRIDI.

Multi-genre composer and producer. I write full band rock, metal, pop and blues arrangements to collaborate with vocalists and instrumentalists. 100% human made art.

⚠️Technical issues
My distributor's contract with SoundCloud only offers uploads for 30 countries. There is not much I can do about that, because I need their services for my complex collab situation. If you can't play my songs here, please follow me on any other streaming platform. Just follow the buy link of the individual song.

🎵November 2025
Creatively, it's been a bit quiet lately, so I'm focussing on finishing projects from the last 3 years, and re-releasing my discography. I won't be writing and collaborating until I'm feeling inspired again. In the meantime, feel free to listen and comment. Thank you so much for your support!
