Posted on May 2, 2013

Got the booze….vørterøl/vørterløøøøv /vørter-love (aincent Viking beer with no alcohol, brewed to build muscles)
….and the inspiration ready; me. It´s aaaall about me, my self and I. Nobody else is going to help you in life anyway, haha. Check out my facebook fanpage and listen to some of the motives I will be using in the pianoconcerto. Very rythmical and groovy! Click on the groovy stuff to listen.

Batteries charged

Just came back from 10 days in the Maldives….can´t say I really wanted to leave that paradise, but I will say this – if God doesn´t bring me back there when I die, I will change my religion!

I am now ready for the urban jungle. Bring it!

Mozart and musical snowflakes

Posted on March 15, 2013

Packed with grown and small children – Mozart was in town!

Just before I put on my wig Nemo was trying to save the world on the big screen….

And then Kristine the Wizard showed Mozart how to do magic…..!!!!

It´s snowing outside in Oslo today…snowflakes playing in an atmosphere they no longer understand….time and space is longer as it used to be…Listen to they told me this afternoon through the glass door to Café de Concert:

Stravinskij on a pole and Cayman in the house

Posted on March 1, 2013

Was such a great vibe at Café de Concert on Feb 21st when people came to see me….naked

HAHA!!

Just wanted to make a statement – “we should use naked bodies in the name of art more than we use naked bodies do to trigger a sexual vibe, in order to get the attention of our audience”. To emphesize this I invited two good friends of mine, Ida Koppang and Angelika Tilly – wonderful poleart dancer, do their amazing choreography when Café de Concerts regular DJ Andy Cross was spinning
Stravinskij´s “Rite of Spring”. THAT was unforgettable.

Hansa sponsored us with “vørterøl” (malt bear). I am actually breastfed on “vørterøl”. You might find the taste a bit funky at first, but James Brown is funky – so why bother drinking regular beer, when you can be like James Brown!

Yesterday Porsche Center Oslo launhed the new Cayman….words can simply not describe the beauty of this beast…. Today they put in a 911 cab….do you dare come and sit down in it…? And speaking of which, a black 911 rested outside my place – just to get everybody´s attention;)

People that came to see the sneak peak preview went nuts!

And so did I, haha…

Coming back from concerts in the US to THIS:

…just makes my artistic heart go BOOOOM!!!!

As an extra encore I had the amazing Fredrik Hovland (left in photo) with his Mandolin Orchestra (right in photo) perform Øysteins Sunde´s “Frøken Bibelstripp”. Need I say people went crazy? See you on March 14th when I perform my Mozart show for kids

Bring your kid and your inner child

Munch at WMP

Posted on February 17, 2013

Was great performing at the WMP in NYC again yesterday evening, boy did I miss that!! Performed some new compositions related to paintings by Munch and showed off a couple of new musical licks and verbal tricks! A cool gang from the audience went out to party with me after the concert, true to the Kolstad concert tradition!
