Being in Germany at the Denovali-festival, Sebastian Eckert and I were feeling so inspired by the great artists, so we started making some music. Back in Norway, I finished my version of the song, and Sebastian made his http://soundcloud.com/ancientsolitude/novalide
M. Hufschmidt played some trumpet for Sebastians version, but I got to use it as well. Thanks!
This is the darkest and most noisy Witheren-song yet, who knows where this is heading..

Denovali (with Seb. Eckert)

The song is basically about dreams in life and what to do with them. Took me a long time, but I'm soo happy with the result. Inspires to spend more time on my own music. It was completed in July, 2009. I had just gotten a mandolin for my birthday, you can hear it towards the end if you listen closely :-)

Through Windows

Funny thing about this one was that I wasn't really ready to record, I had only a few lines and the chords for the chorus. But when a friend had to cancel an appointment I had nothing to do so I just started to record. 40 hours later the song was done!! Lyrics and all! Just some mixing that was done after that.. (Well, actually, there was one line that just sucked so I went back the following week and changed it to something else, hehe. 3 people heard it with the sucky line though!!)


Reality is coming

This is the first Witheren-song, and was the only one for years. I was still playing with other people, and just wanted to se how it sounded if I did something alone. So it became the birth of Witheren, which also happens to be the name I suggested for the band I played in at the time (they didn't like it, hehe... 
By the way: Witheren is a place me and a friend ended up in while getting lost in Australia :-)


Wild Water

My good friend Solveig helped me out here, and the song was written and recorded pretty quickly during March 2012. Discovered som new sounds on the way, great fun. Really happy with the chorus, with all the harmonies.. creates a nice mood, very fitting for the lyrics.

Sunrise (with Solveig Lyby)

This is my outlet, something I love to do when I have some spare time (not too often..) Most of the time I work with other peoples music in Tuft Studio.
