It’s Hammer Time

I feel like this week hit me like a sledgehammer! Monday feels like it was only yesterday, even though it was actually three days ago. Madness. And I feel like I have spent most of the week so far writing and replying to an endless number of emails. I started the week off by getting… Continue reading It’s Hammer Time

A World Without Violence

What a week it has been. In spite of economic insecurities and a stressful, irregular work situation, I keep pressing on, stubborn and tenacious, towards realising my plans and fulfilling my dreams. Experiences like these make it all worthwhile. My working relationship with the Norwegian vocal ensemble Kurve dates back to February 2015 when their… Continue reading A World Without Violence

Where Music Comes From

Last week was so busy that I didn’t manage to take the time and sit down to write a blog post. It was my first week back after much needed two weeks off.

Radio Silence

It’s been more than three weeks since my last blog post and so much has happened. The past two weeks have mostly been spent working with this year’s instalment of Berwaldhallen’s annual Baltic Sea Festival. I have also wrapped up the power metal project as well as made great progress on a project I have… Continue reading Radio Silence

Visca la música!

What an exciting trip I had last weekend! My first (hopefully not my last!) concert as a substitute member of Ensemble Villancico was fantastic experience. Unadulterated delight from beginning to end, at least discounting the heat and humidity. I am fortunate enough to get to perform together with lovely and talented musicians on regular occasions.… Continue reading Visca la música!

To be frank, I am… Continue reading Pride and Joy
