We Won!

Gullkroken

Wooohooo! The final (and best) episode of our Season Two, The Curse, won the Gullkroken (Golden Hook) award for best film. The award show was was held in Christiana Theater in Oslo, and the large theatre was jam-packed with happy fishermen. What a party it was. I still have a headache. Our good friends over… Read more »

The year of 2013 and some bonus pictures

Fishermen, musicians and magic moment-lovers, hello and welcome to 2014! I hope this year will turn out to be the best year so far in history. Better than 2013… To make it short, fishing-wise I have had a lot of bad luck last year. Here is a short explenation… … It is late june in southern… Read more »

Allbymyself

Heavily inspired by Håvard’s allbymyself films I have finally got my solo piano recording done! It’s taken a lot of time and effort, and the feeling of holding an album in my hands feels almost unreal. It’s been a musical process I’ve never really been through before. I’ve basically never performed or recorded my own… Read more »

One man, one piano

Howdy! One night about a year and a half ago I was sitting in my rehearsal room, playing through my old sketchbooks. I have piles of those music sheets with small phrases, ideas, tunes, and I’ve basically written down this music stuff since I was a teenager. I found a lot of stuff I had… Read more »

I haven’t unfortunately had too many fishing opportunities lately, but there’s some other nice stuff going on: Last weekend I went to our summer cottage in Central Finland. I installed the software called Magic Lantern to my… Read more »

Autumn, Pop Music and Fly fishing

Maybe you red my last blog a while ago (alone in the wilderness). If you think that it is totally made up, you’re wrong. I actually spend almost a week on my own in the wilderness. The problem is that I didn’t catch anything to brag about. The biggest fish – an arctic char, didn’t… Read more »

Day 3, 4, 5 and 6

11:00 Finally! A river! A river? The lady at the hotel never mentioned any river when I asked her about the map and my planned route. Let’s take care of that problem after some water. I basically fell down to the ground, dropped the back pack and slid down to the water’s edge. After a… Read more »

Excellent Review in Jazznytt

Greetings. Here´s an excellent review of Season One from the latest issue of Norwegian jazz magazine Jazznytt: For those of you who aren´t fortunate enough to be able to read Norwegian, I can decipher a couple of lines: “Spending a long time on the road will do something to a jazz band, and the group… Read more »
