Below you’ll find a selection of projects from my past.
Kentaur - Vertebra by Vertebra
One of the best reviewed danish ep’s of 2016.
The EP was mentioned in many media outlets as one of the best releases of the year.
With a slow paced and soulfull sense of melody, the album entered the hearts of many listeners both in Denmark and abroad.
Made in collaboration with Mikkel Juul Jensen and Marc Roland.
Soundvenue: 5 star review
“Vertebra by Vertebra is a small but colossal creature, with five sensitive and alternative poptracks, that match the mythic name of Kentaur. In a symbiotic state between light and darkness, the organic and electronic, the trio have created a univers of a highly melodic quality and with a high level of detail. It is a very impressive debut with it’s own signature soul and sound.”

“Un Camino Fractal”
“ A Fractal Path: Tread upon by masters alike. Illumine the map and show me the pathless land. Why did you choose for me to fall through these endless caves? Only to fall at your feet like a stolen child, hurt by your indifferent gaze. Is this your acid grace. It this your choice or mine ?”
Such are the opening words on “Un Camino Fractal”. The underlying narrative of the ep is an inner quest of moving from despair to a sense of reconciliation with fate. While moving through a multitude of musical genres and sonic landscapes, the ep’s primary purpose is a spiritual one. Asking question that are not for the faint hearted and providing comfort for the ones who are inclined to ask.
