  1. Have you ever realized how sad the lyrics to "Bye Bye Love" by The Everly Brothers actually are? I did a reharm of it, hope you enjoy:)
  2. This is one of the best compliments I have gotten:)! Thank you so much! I usually play jazz/freejazz/prog/metal, have released a bunch of records and teach as an Associate Professor in piano performance at a local University (blablabla no bragging/shameless promoting intended). But, the art of accompaniment, especially in a duo setting with pop/rock songs, was really, really hard for me. So your compliment means ALOT to me:)
  3. I did an arrangement of Alice Coopers "Poison".
  4. I told them I really like the Lego Ideas Grand Piano (hint, hint), aaaand, its mine now:)! X-mas is almost over here in Norway and we get the presents on the 24th.
  5. Realized that the lyrics to "I`ll be home for christmas" are so sad. So I did a little reharm:) I`ll be home for christmas
  6. Do you tap your foot to keep time? For some, this is the key to play in time, and I see players that rush and the foot is ahead of the beat/speeding up. Try to just tap your foot (without playing) in time with a metronome regardless if you actually tap while playing. When you practise, record yourself. Try to be intentionally "ahead", "dead on" and "behind" the beat with a metronome, then listen to the recording and hear if you are actually ahead, dead on or behind the beat.Sometimes the "internal clock" isent quite adjusted:). Another thing that helps playing i 4/4 is studying polyrythm. Like 5 over 4 and so on. Then its easier to identify the variables between the beats.
  7. Thank you so much re Pete! This was actually a part of a small concert series that was done by the government, so I just showed up early in the morning and played/improvised for a while, then that was that:)
  8. Hi and thank you so much Dave Ferris:)! Why yes, I went there in ´94 and was lucky enough that almost all of Tribal Tech were teachers there. I had Mr Scott Kinsey as a teacher, good times:)! This was recorded in Kristiansand, Norway btw:)
  9. A short solo piano concert I did during the Covid situation. weird to play without an audience and such a short gig. Sorry for the rambling in Norwegian between the songs, its just me explaining some of the motivation and intentions behind the compositions. All the compositions are originals and I`d say its about 50/50 composition and impro:) Hope you enjoy!
  10. I made my pianotrio play metal/prog/jazz. Youtube link here:
  11. Thanks!! It was recorded in my livingroom on an old RD-700SX. The ex-wife on vocals:)
  12. Heres a small reharm I did of "nothing compares to you" sometime ago: And now for something COMPLETELY different, metal/jazz (loud): https://soundcloud.com/user-98157852/atomized
  13. Thank you so much guys! Yes, I´m a bit of a "dark" person, so these reharms reflect that:)
  14. Heres a take on "You must believe in spring"
  15. Thanks guys!! I hope I did this right: http://docdro.id/d9ounIT That should link to a PDF of the arrangement. BUT, I forgot that it was handwritten and not complete:( But I hope you guys are able to get something from it anyway:) Sorry about that! I`m sorry to hear that about Beirach! Hes been a huge inspiration for and I really love his playing and harmonic approaches!
  16. Heres a little something I did with "Like someone in love" a while ago. I remember that I was really into the great Richie Beirach playing at that time:) I actually found the original full score the other day and will happily share it if anyone is interested in the chords and voicings I used:) PS! Stop the player after the songs over, or youll get John Legend blasting through your sepakers. Cant seem to find a way of turning off that damn autoplaylits crap. Oh, well.
