The fabulous Aske Jacoby has a new album out! It is called Luna Plena Super Me and was released by Sony Music on April 16th this year. I had the big honor to write string and brass arrangements on a couple of tunes on the album and I’m really happy, impressed and a bit blown […]

Yesterday I received the statue for “Best Composer” in the Danish Music Awards – World for my work with Afenginn. I am totally thrilled and honoured by this recognition! The jury said: Sound-wise and melodiously, the music pulls in many directions, but at the same time the composer is deeply rooted in his own sound. The […]

Det sidste stykke tid har gået på at få flyttet kanonerne i stilling til den kommende Dánjal udgivelse i efteråret. Det bliver vores største satsning hidtil og til gengæld med den bedste plade vi har lavet 🙂 Vi har været igang i et par år og i starten af denne uge landede pladerne fra fabrikken. […]
