Single: Spikersuppe-samba / Alvedans
Instrumental-single fra Slagerfabrikken/ Thylden (1985) med Steinar Ofsdal på fløyte. Sambaen lå på Norsktoppen i sju uker (Lydkutt i lista over).
LP "Landskap Med To Figurer" (1982)
Her er fem av låtene fra plata / Five samples from the LP:
- Sorgen og Glæden de vandrer Tilhope. Instrumental made from an old hymn. The harpsichord used is a real Brødrene Knag produced in Bergen, kindly lent to us by Jens Bjørneboe.
- Her Går Dansen - A hapy song about a green world.
- Requiem (text/mel.: Richard Burgess).
- Nattergal. The only song on the LP where I do the lead song. It's about a drop-out so I guess that's OK.
- Bror, lån meg armar. One of my songs in prog rock style (sort of). Song: Richard Burgess. Text: Øystein Spjelkavik.

TV jingles:
I made a few - the ones most used are:
- Intro jingle for the weekly tv program "Ut i Naturen" (NRK 1). (QuickTime - 0.3 MB). Still in use after 7 years (july 2007)!
- Intro jingle for the garden program "Grønn Glede", NRK1. (MP3 - 0.3 MB)
I've also played violin and keyboard in these groups:
- Strengegjengen (folk music/ rock)
- Bazar (rock)
- Gammal Rull (Irish and Scottish folk music)
- Folque (folk rock)
- Ym:Stammen (viking rock) (the link is to a feature article in Norwegian)
- Tanz Fatal (tango)
- Polaris (Euro Dance group, Sweden)
- Oslo Radio Orkester (retro jazz)
Some of them have websites - check them out!
One of my tunes from Folque's album "Landet Ditt" (1982):
- Fanfare - 3.5 MB - my first instrumental with synths combined with live instruments. No MIDI here.
The MP3s of my music is "shareware". I do this for a living - and hope to be able to make more of it! If you like this music enough for keeps, please go to musikkonline.no or iTunes to download the songs or the full album (with much better sound quality)!
