Seconds after reading an email from my father with a linked .pdf-file showing an article from the local newspapers about me and a commercial I worked on, the phone rang telling me was Adresseavisa.no (just a bit bigger than aforementioned newspaperfirm) who wanted to do an article about my Nuppa&Knøttet-videos.

Damn son, that was a long sentence!

Gjenstandsferden av Massive Rhino

Composed music for a Norwegian website where younger people are challenged to answer questions in order to help ghosts change from their will'o'wisp shape into a more human-like shape.

I'm not a 100% satisfied with the music. (especially the one that runs during the assignments. I like the melody, but it could've been done a bit more advanced. Perhaps having a couple of versions so that each "assignment-round" feels different, just like the "round complete"-music which has two versions of the same melody.

NTNU: "Passion to Create" I composed a song for yet another NTNU-infomercial produced by Massive Rhino.

No pitch-adjusting the interviewees for this one.

However, I tested it out, but it didn't fit the music to my satisfaction (nor the producer's for that matter) 

In addition of working on the music, I edited the little stomp-part in the video. (1:14-1:33 the instrumental segment with the marker, coffee-cup and so on.) 

Tormod Tvete Vik translated my melody and made the stringarrangement (which helped my original melody evolve into a better more sophisticated melody) for the Trondheim Soloist (TrondheimSolistene) to perform.

Watch the NTNU-prequel.

Spætt Media asked me to compose a little tune for their Trondheim Parkering-commercial.

And since we're a bunch'o'goofballs where I work, we fooled around a bit in the recording studio and I mailed'em this song at first.

Manu Delago - "Mono Desire" (Fark remix)

After coming home after a long night out, I discovered this beautiful hang drum solo by Manu Delago.

and just had to play with it...

Komplettvisa 2.0 :

Autumn 2009: me and my crew did a tiny light-hearted commercial for Komplett.no (probably the most renown electronics&computer-store in Norway)

Despite being just a tiny effort from us, it was lovingly received and was, among other things, placed on the frontpage of vg.no

Summer 2010: I received a call from one of Komplett's employees. He told me that they were planning a 2.0-version and wanted to include us.

Autumn 2010: After having fun shooting the commercial in Oslo - today is the day that TV2 starts airing it.

In addition of being the composer, I am also the second singer (that guy with the Steve Jobs-turtleneck and way too much eye-makeup, and that guy with the tourist-outfit and all the camera-equipment, and the guy in orange suit)

(I received a few angry texts from people who had problems with getting the melody of their brain. (feedback I'm getting used to hear :P)

Lady Autumn

The sunlight got filtered through the yellow autumn-decayed leaves in the trees around us, and did a perfect job lighting my model.

Just like the prequel, "Gla i dæ læll", this video shows some of my and my family's memories from the summer of 2010 via pitchcorr.. erm.. autotuning and several la-la-la's.
