Standing Waves released their first album ¨The Wave¨in 2019

¨19 out of 20, contender for album of the year!¨ Musik an sich.

¨polished composition, performance and production that give it an undeniable richness, vibrancy and class.¨ Chain D.L.K.

¨Captivating!” Rockerilla

¨. . . the wave announced in the album title could break. Out of sheer good humor. And the pleasure of your own stamina. . . Not exactly simple. But still nice.¨ Amusio

Looking forward next Thursday 22nd September 1800 for the premier of my piece <Let There Be Light> a piece about the first appearance of light in the universe, by the very excellent NyNorsk Messingkvintett at Johanneskirke, Bergen. Containing space sound and vocal samples plus visuals by Evelina Dembacke!

The concert is produced by Avgarde/Bergen Kirkeautunnale, with special thanks to Kulturrådet and Morten Eide Pedersens Minnefond.

Bergen is an oasis for artistic development and creation, the amount of resources and high quality new music it produces is amazing for its size. Special shout out to Avgarde concert series led by Sigurd Fischer Olsen, with whom I have a great relationship and initiated this project!
