Experiencing Interruptions?

In That Dark Night

This film is a set to a song with the same title, and it's all about longing. About broken promises and things that come to nothing. About waiting, hoping, but in the end it never comes through.

In the end you realize: noone will ever sit at the other end of your table, and depending on the viewer, that's either fine or not.
In any case, life goes on.

I am a composer and musician, currently employed as a researcher (PhD) within the field of artistic research at the University of Agder. Having been a professional musician since finishing my masters degree at the Academy of Music on Oslo, I present my work through drumming, singing, piano and various other instruments, depending on the genre, mode of output, and so on. I mainly work within jazz, improvised music and text-based compositions.

I have also worked as a graphical designer for years, and have made loads of album artworks, websites, posters etc.
