PRETTY MELLOW

The project «Pretty Mellow» is a studio concept which in its core is consisting of Dagfinn Koch and myself. But we have worked with many other vocalists and musicians, most recently Jon Ruder, who also writes text and music and sings too. Dagfinn has so far written most of the music and I the lyrics. Dagfinn is a classical composer, but loves pop music and art music. I have written three libretti (Gespenster and Black Days (opera) and Skyggesønnen (musical). I also write texts for art music and choir, poetry, rants etc.

PLEASE CONSIDER ALL THESE WORKS AS EARLY SKETCHES AND DEMOS!!

MUSIC I MADE
