DAY TEN

PASSAU-KÖLN (concert)
Not so much to say tonight. Or I am not the right person to say it :-) I don´t know what it is that makes these things happening. I thought it was over - way back in time. I would like to thank the fantastic musicians I am working with at this moment. We have a wonderful collaboration - and every night has been on the edge. We dare to develope and take new chances in the music. This is something very special - and not a "daily" thing between musicians. It is a fantastic feeling to be on stage with Håkon, Gjermund, Helge and Olav, and Ingo: a great sound-engineer. I think and know we can develope as a band playing my music. I am really inspired composing new things - for a long time. And I hope we manage to keep the power. On the picture you see one of the foremost Norwegian musicians, drummer, percussion players, man: Helge Andreas Norbakken, wiping the stage in a stinky dirty cellar/studionumber at venue Stadtgarten in Köln before set up on a stage that did not have the equipment we needed. But the good guy at the place managed to get a new mixer, more microphones and a reverb. Good work from him. This happened after driving from Vienna (only four hours sleep in Passau), to play this concert (check the distance on a map). I would also like to thank the people that showed up. Again an audience that gave us power to play the concert through. It was another good one.
