This is a mix made exclusively from unreleased hardware jams I’ve done over the last year or so at The Shelter Studios, Tromsø, Northern Norway and other selected locations. Recorded onto the 4ms WAV module and then edited and mixed in the DAW that dare not speak its name. Enjoy!
The “Dartrax EP”, featuring Chiwoniso Maraire, Anania Ngoliga and Maulid Mohammed, will be released by Musar Recordings on February 15th. The EP includes remixes by Charlotte Bendiks and Boska, plus DMX Krew.
I have made a new mixtape which is now in circulation both on audio cassette and through my Bandcamp subscriber only service. It’s called “Pyramids on the Moon vol. 1”, and consists of outtakes and previously unreleased material in the form of film soundtracks, theatre music and various sketches that haven’t left my studio before. Go subscribe to my Bandcamp page to get this and other subscriber exclusives, plus my entire Mental Overdrive back catalogue.
I was lucky enough to be invited to play the Inversia Festival in Murmansk, Northern Russia, back in February. This brilliant festival is only in its second year but has already established itself as an important arena for joining local artists with international ones through workshops, talks and gigs. You can check out their mini-docu in the player above while browsing for the best priced tickets for next year’s festival.
I’m doing a couple of live remixing gigs over the next month. The first one is in on Friday March 16th in Bodø, where I’m sampling the Arctic Philharmonic Orchestra (NOSO) performing “Shaker Loops” by John Adams. The second gig is in Tromsø on April 12th, where violinist Martin Truscott and NOSO are performing the same piece.
My new album “Epilogue” is out today. Check it out in the player above and buy full quality files through Bandcamp or other digital download stores. Double vinyl coming soon.
Earlier this year we unexpectedly lost our good friend Christian Hollingsæter AKA Le Petit Garçon. Following his tragic passing, Geir Jenssen (Biosphere), took the initiative to compile an album of exclusive works from Christian’s vast network of artist friends for release through his label Biophon, with the main purpose of giving all sales income to Christian’s son Julian. The album is now available from the Biophon bandcamp page above and on CD through selected retailers.
You can now get the filmscore for Paper Films’ documentary “Northern Disco Lights” through my Bandcamp page. Includes bonus track. Check it out in the player above.
You can now subscribe to my personal artist Bandcamp page. In addition to becoming the coolest person in the world you get instant access to stream and download my entire back catalogue, plus all new releases as they are made available.

I’m thinking of doing some live versions of selected tracks from my back catalogue in addition to the usual improvised stuff at the gig I’m playing at Øyafestivalen in August. Any suggestions for tracks I should play? Check out the playlist above to get you started and drop me a comment on Facebook or Twitter.
