It took some time, but earlier this year I finally got these two live recordings from Parkteatret - part 4 and 6 of the concert series Pekula - mixed, mastered and released. They are very different from each other, but have in common that they both feature some of the most amazing musicians you can find in Norway. Check out all our releases HERE!
ORBITS "BLOOD RED SKY" RELEASED
The album “Blood Red Sky” by Orbits - the band I have together with my dear friend Natalie Sandtorv (Neon Ion ++) and Lars Horntveth (Jaga Jazzist ++) - has finally been released on Jazzland Records. We are now touring the album, so get in touch with Musikkprofil for bookings!
HONNINGBARNA WINNING AWARDS
This was a while ago, but thought I should mention that we won 2 fantastic awards for the album “Animorphs”. One was the Norwegian Grammy Award called Spellemannsprisen, in the category “best rock album”. The other was Edvardprisen, for composition and the album as a whole. Love these guys!
HONNINGBARNA GETTING LOTS OF LOVE FROM ANTHONY FANTANO
It was very cool to see that Anthony Fantano - maybe the most important music journalist in the world - seems to love Honningbarna’s new album “Soft Spot”. I loved producing this album, and hope you all check it out!
