DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) new cd april 2010!
Hei Torstein! Jeg er stor fan av spillingen din! Jeg har lagt ut en ny låt på siden min i dag, så stikk gjerne innom og hør på den. Den er helt rykende fersk:)
Tak for venskab! Hope you're doing fine and look forward to playing with you! For hey - it's just a matter of time. And space. So come over! Hilsen fra Hamborg!
Hey, thanks for the add! Saw you perform with Elephant 9 in Bergen Jazz Forum 4th of sept. We were mindstruck. Unheard good and oldfashioned new. Particular good instrumentalists, all 3! Thanks for a great gig!
Tror nok Bonham tydde til ulovlige substanser for å holde ut det der:) Ellers alt vel her. Ikke så mye spilling for tida, men har begynt å forske - på musikkterapi, groove og psykoser. Tror det blir kjekt. God sommer!
Hi Torstein! I wanna thank U so much for two amazing and fantastic Maria Mena-shows (Stuttgart & Frankfurt, Germany)!!! Really love your drumming-style - heavy, hard, loud..that's the way it should be!! :-) I did play some drums hundred years ago (now..with a little bit luck..I might be able to play the intro of "I love it loud" haha..)it's still my favorit instrument that moves me deep inside. You do a GREAT job, KISS-buddy! :-) Hope there will be some summer surprise shows 2009!!! I'm sure we will meet again..just check the 1st row from time to time ;-) All the best, **JASMIN**
