About me:

The inspiration of music dates back to been given the priviledge to grow up close to nature in a fjordlandscape on the north-west of Norway, having the woods, streams and mountains in the backyard so to speak. From there came the love for a broader spectre of music and sounds, with a special relationship towards acoustic instruments and folk music from all over the world.

The hardanger fiddle seen on the picture, has its roots back to the Middle Ages in Norway. It looks similar to a violin, but has ressonating strings and belongs to the bordun type instruments. The oldest preserved hardanger fiddle is from 1651. My fiddle dates back to 1917 and has belonged to my great-grandfather and the family ever after.

Last 14 years I have lived in the norwegian west-coast city Bergen. Almost 250 000 people live here. The liking for hardanger fiddle started when I joined the local group Fjellbekken and met the fantastic fiddle player - Finn Vabø.

Now I amongst other play with the group SantaCecilia and on the song My Burning Flame. Please listen to new recorded music and soon a new cd from Santa Cecilia

Music is love and therefore we need to put the heart into music. One method is using meditation before playing, which is positive for all arts opening a creative process. Pure attention and the inner feeling of soulful music is supported by the balancing of the Sahaja Yoga method. I have practised it since 2000 myself, and feel real balance and peace. Less nervouseness before stage and more joy of in all aspects of life. Please feel free to attend a course where you should be, or feel free to try out online. Already many musicans, artist, composers practise it. No commercial interests are involved. The best things in life are free! Enjoy a meditation at:
