PRETTY MELLOW

The project «Pretty Mellow» is a studio concept consisting of Dagfinn Koch and myself. Dagfinn has so far written most of the music and I the lyrics. But recently we have started playing with Jon Ruder, who also writes text and music and sings too. Dagfinn is a classical composer, but loves pop music and art music. I have written three libretti (Gespenster and Black Days (opera) and Skyggesønnen (musical). I also write texts for art music and choir, poetry, rants etc.

PLEASE CONSIDER ALL THESE WORKS AS EARLY SKETCHES AND DEMOS!!

MUSIC I MADE

This is my orchestral joke, written in Finale. Read Dagfinns essay (satire!!) about the piece. In Norwegian or English.
