Drummer, Composer and Audiovisual Artist

Welcome to my website! I’m passionate about all forms of artistic expressions, and this space serves as my personal showcase. From crafting electronic music, drumming, composing and working with audiovisual installation concerts to designing and coding digital experiences, I blend artistry and technology.

My fourth soloalbum "Klangre" is out now !
A few years ago, I read a research article about my hometown, Bodø, and global warming. It revealed that my city had lost 60 winter days over the past 30 years. By winter days, they meant days with temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius.
With this in mind, I created "Klangre", a tribute to our winter.
