I was awarded Spellemannprisen for Best Male (Robert Post) and Best Video (Got None) on January 28, 2006. Later this year I will release my 5th studio album… I am not sure what to call it… as for now, I call it Broken Mirror Memory. Follow me on a new…

It’s been 10 years since my eponymous debut. So it’s an anniversary! I will celebrate. I will update old posts with memorabilia. And I will write new posts – heck of a lot more often then in recent years. I am recording a new studio album – “Without A Shield”…

I just found the original sketch and lyrics for a song from the Ocean Sessions EP (2007). Back in 2006 when I was writing for a follow-up EP to my eponymous debut album, I was thinking of doing a duet with someone. Going through different demos and songs that I…

I’ve spent all of September recording and mixing my new album Rhetoric. Even though I have only spent about 15 days in the studio it has been in creation and in my head 24/7 all month. It’s a lot of music to come up with, consume, develop, ennoble and strengthen…

SADNESS IS A BLESSING (lykke li cover) It’s strange how few cover songs I have managed to put in my shows the last 5 years. I am more and more attracted to the idea that I will always have one or two of my favorite songs in my set list…

So all I see around me is illusion Built to trick us all into consumption And the branches are hanging from the ceiling And the trees are growing out of plastic soil And the flowers give me no real feelings It’s just dead empty and cold I see people like…

All these houses I visit I wonder how can they still stand? Built on candlelights and flowers By defenseless men It is worrying but I can’t intrude ‘Cause the women of the house would call me rude Like… “Don’t you see we’re content and this was heaven sent? I was…

So, here I am again. Writing to reach you. Few worries today. Had a great time with my band yesterday. Played 6 new songs. Never played these songs with band before. Hell of a lot of fun. Energy boost. A kick. Like being born on new, sorta. Because it was…

Happy New Year to y’all! I hope you are as excited about the new year as I am. And that Christmastide have been treating you very well! For me it’s been a rollercoaster ride since I began recording new songs on the 23rd of Dec (not a very good idea)…

So the conclusion is I must return to Germany very soon. After 5 days on the road and 4 shows held I totally understand why Germany is told to be one of the more convenient countries to tour. If a tour is well-planned just like the Katzenjammer’s was, you get…

Last day in the studio for now. I have recorded 9 songs. Roughly mixed 8 of them. 2 were cover songs (1979 and Ship Song). I have mainly used the studio’s (or to be correct – Ante’s) Martin 000-28EC (Eric Clapton Signature Acoustic Guitar), as well as my own Moon…

It’s incredible how tremendously energetic I feel when doing what I love and loving what I do. It’s insanely difficult to achieve just what I expect of myself when doing things the way of which I always have felt a need to do them. To find the right moment is…

Saturday I commenced what I have chosen to call “Acoustic Spring”. The first show of the year, a new beginning – new songs, new sound. Focusing on what I started out with, my voice and an acoustic guitar. All in all – plenty. It was an uplifting experience, even though…

Today I moved office from my house in Ålesund to the countryside of Giske. It’s nice to get away from all stuff that keeps me distracted from doing what I am supposed to be doing. Now – updating the world wide web on Flight 2010ROPOMUSIC.

Well, the remainder of our journey was a train ride back to London and then see what would be coming our way. Dead tired of moving along by putting one foot in front of the other we went for the solution of staying in. Staying in discussing philosophically interesting ways…

Hi and how are you? I am fine. I have the reason to be. And I hope you have a good time around… The by:Larm Festival is over and we are almost sober. We began recording a couple of new songs on Wednesday so new demos are soon to be…

Hello dear fellows, by:Larm is finally here and the first day was so fucking great you wouldn’t believe it. We arrived stage from our new bought US helicopter on Logen somewhere between eleven and twelve. And it was amazing. I didn’t expect people to show up on our gig in…

Ciao boys and girls, Oh how drunken man can get… It’s Sunday morning after too many days of drinking, dancing and playing. The only right thing to do is to walk the mountain and let out the demons. And eat junk food… FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE! Friday in Trondheim was fun. A…

“All you need is love”. A wise person once wrote this line. My opinion is that that’s Utopian. Still, I’m really working on believing in it. It’s not the worst thing that can happen. I mean, if we really believed in it I guess we’d get one step closer. “All I need is love” At…

Ugg ugg, Is it so that every little lie can make huge differences with time? I just got home from, guess what, another three days in a car and a lot of ferries. It’s been a lot of fruit and booze, which causes earthquakes in my belly. And I met Kurt…

Hi, I’m back in Bergen after spending days in a car touring the Eastern part of Norway with Karin Park. It’s nice to be finally breathing the air of the West coast again. The problem with the weather on the other side of the mountain is that it is so dry that I have to borrow…

Hello 2004, This is my 25th year on this planet and I hope it will bring me luck. At least it has started out great, except from the everlasting problem money. Who cares anyway…? There’s so much else to worry about like; why doesn’t fathers learn their sons or daughters to play bass-guitar? At…

Hi, I’m really exhausted today. It seems like Christmas is all about after parties and sleeping in cars or on floors. To be honest, I haven’t really slept in my own bed for days. Last nights gig was amazingly fun. I hadn’t planned anything before I got on stage, so I was a bit concerned…

Merry Christmas, After having spent the last days on rehearsing a Nirvana Tribute I woke up the day after the show in a car parked outside my sisters apartment. I didn’t have the guts to wake her up at six o’clock in the morning so I rather slept in this frozen car. The show went great and…

Hello hello, Well I just got home from a football tournament and am pretty upset because we lost even before we got to the finals. We played against a team that rather wanted to play boring football than entertaining, so they won 1-0. We, on the other hand, won our three…

Hi, We just found a way to pass the problem with the uploading of songs. Now there’s an acoustic version of a song called “Give” which I recorded last week and if everything goes with the plan I’ll hopefully release the entire session from last Tuesday, including 7 new songs, by the end of this week.…

HELLO, Today’s greatest topic has been the snow in Bergen. It makes the wintertime seem so much brighter. I love it; still I know it’s going to be washed away by the rain by tomorrow morning. Anyway, I spoke to my photographer earlier today and we discussed several locations for a photo-session. But it’s…

Hello, Today I added a few more pictures of me posing with the guitar (dah). There’s one of Øyvind, the drummer of Fist First, not yet had his morning coffee and one of Ned Nederlender who’s recording some new songs in Lydriket for his forthcoming album. Well, for those of you who…

Hi, Well these two pictures I added today are pretty boring huh? I’m gonna do something about it. I promised to have something new happening here every day. The truth is that this site is still under construction and isn’t quite finished yet. So I guess when it is we’re going…
