Chamber Opera performance hopefully coming soon



Well. It's been a hell of a long time since I wrote anything, and there's a lot to write about. We've been working on some new material with Paganus and it looks promising. We might put some of that stuff on record somewhere before spring. I also did a gig at the Hamina town square as Bull in a China shop somewhere in July(?) which was performed as background music for buying carrots & other goods.

Basically time has flew by eating eggs and butter covered bread with my family (in the picture on father's day), among other things. I also wrote a chamber opera following my own text called 'Nooa & Utnapishtim', and at the moment am trying to get it performed here in Hamina. It's about 40 minutes of weirdness & preciseness; a surrealism influenced work which takes me some place new as a composer.

Other things going on: Trying to get as many bands as possible to record new stuff (the Sun Tryst, Paganus, Raptus), possible live improv-performances on various instruments, cooking, keeping it cooking.
