New Schpork release

This is our second single, and it is based upon a tune I wrote in 2018 with the same title. The picture is from Cambodia, exactly where I sat when I composed the piece originally.

Concert in Sandefjord

Me and Annie Björkman played a folk music concert at Dråpen in August. Jarand Midtgaard also presented his uku-fiddle creations during the event. Pictures are published on my Facebook. Also, here is a video from the set we played: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMABGpcI1zY&ab_channel=NorwegianUke

New Music Release

This is a cooperation with several talented people involved. Christer Egon Eckermann is reading a poem he wrote, Danny Marshall is playing the flute, Anders Thorsen is playing the bass, I am playing the ukulele and Thortrillion W. Tomsborg is playing the guitar as well as being the producer.

Shenzhen, China

I was honored to go to Shenzhen to teach and perform in June. Thanks to Simple Things for organizing. I posted more pictures and impressions on the official Norwegian Uke Facebook-page.

"Slåtter på ukulele" will finally be made available on most streaming platforms, but if you wish to support me even further, purchase of physical CD's or digital files on BandCamp would be the way to go.

New Musical Project - Schpork

Schpork is a trio consisting of Thortrillion Wilhelm Tomsborg, Annie Björkman and myself. The style of music is a sort of mellow and minimalistic electronica. Annie does her thing with the vocals, I do mine with the ukulele, and Thortrillion does the rest. Our first single, "Tears", released the 14th of March on most streaming platforms.

Tropical Winter Ukulele Festival 2025

17th-19th of January
"TWUF" is an annual ukulele festival hosted in Leppävirta, Finland. I attended back in 2022 with a few performances and was welcomed again this year. This time around, I took part in the promotion leading up to the festival on elementary schools with performances and workshops, as well as performing at the festival itself. I have posted pictures and impressions from the experience on the Norwegian Uke Facebook page.
