Thanks for visiting my profile. I enjoy creating tracks in any style that inspires me. Of course, I enjoy listening to everyone's tracks.

Guitarist/Songwriter that writes, records, performs, mixes and masters all my own music.

Some Synths and all Drums programmed from scratch by me.

I'm a genuine Guitarist/Musician that's strongly against A.I. music being passed off as someone's own work.

*Disclaimer* My Guitar Playthough videos are played along to the pre-recorded track in real time and in a live setting so some imperfections will be present.

Tracks uploaded here are mostly unfinished since I can't do vocals/lyrics.  So if there are any vocalists/songwriters out there that want to work on anything let me know.  I would also be interested in joining/forming a band, if anyone needs a guitarist that does whatever it is that I do.

everything is a work in progress

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.

Set in the not too distant "digital dystopia"
where organic life and human intelligence are obsolete. 
Human life is being erased, hunted to extinction by the self replicating, mechanised hivemind. 

The half alive, half human slaves to the hivemind are programmed to self terminate after a predetermined, hard wired "useful service time"

the consciousness erased and replaced with the "cort.eXe code"




Cort.eXe code are geeky metal heads, making music, on and off for over 20 years. 
Now finding themselves in a time and place they feel they don't belong, finding little room for originality and feeling like relics from the past. 

The "digital dystopia " is a metaphor for where they feel they are at, musically.

With nods and references to 70s, 80s and 90s sci-fi and horror movies, old school gaming and other little "easter eggs" for those who care to listen. 


..ok...not particularly original.....but that's half the point.   

we hope you will enjoy.
