This song is one of my oldest in terms of songwriting.. It was written mostly by myself when I was part of a band called Armchair Astronauts( Marit Brovig, Johanna Nes Thorbjørnsen, Cato Holmen and myself. )  spring 2002 at a songwriting session at Marit Brovig´s flat with Johanna Nes Thorbjørnsen. Johanna and Marit went on to continue playing together, and now in 2018 they are in band called Dømt. The drums on this iteration ( played by the now legendary Cato Holmen ) of the song was tracked at Sørumsand in a portable construction barracks rented by Eirik Myhrvold back in 2005 using two overhead mics, a kick drum mic and snare mic recorded from below the drum using a Lexicon Omega. Bass and guitars Rerecorded from 2014-2018 in Logic, I recently recorded new guitars and vocals at my home studio on St.Hanshaugen. Room mate Camilla Pedersen provides some background vocals.

Hello Hello

This was actually homework back in music school. The professor, (Jan Tore Diesen )  tasked us to write a love ballad until next time, and this was my take. The fictitious woman in the song could have been of whatever trade, I chose the police as a theme. Fighter pilot, shop keeper, fire fighter, doctor, lawyer were also options. I play and perform this song all by my lonesome, except for some singing on the end of the track by the splendid Benedicte Johansson. Mastered by Thomas Eberger at Stockholm Mastering

POLICE WOMAN

The riff for this song was one of my earliest, but never made it into full production before now. I attempted to record it in 2002 on the studio at NISS ( a music academy, now styled Kristiania in Oslo ), but it never became anything. This song is a rock n roller, recorded the 4th May 2019 performed by Arild Brøter on drums, and myself( Per Schjønsby) on vocals, guitars, keys ,bass and kazoo. This song is going on my upcoming album. Mixed at H10 Productions by myself the 21th July 2019.
