Sade, the song and the voice
Sade Adu represents elegance and simplicity in expression. The way she balances silence, phrasing, and warmth creates an intensity and depth that existed in music before autotune.
A fascinating blend of soul, jazz, and pop in a timeless mix. A voice that never needs to strain to reach. Subtle art. Human – not artificial.
I Want You to Want Me
A song about longing and playfulness. The longing to be desired. A delicate interplay between light and shadow, between word and tone. Almost as if she is smiling behind the voice. The song moves like a dance – effortless, yet full of warmth, making it personal to every listener.
Intonation
Sade’s greatest strength: her use of micro-intonation. The Glissando. She lets tones glide and float, shaping them with the slightest touch or bend – nuances a piano can never capture. This “fine-tuning” gives the music life and play, like small waves that never fall in exactly the same place. It is in these movements that intimacy is born, and the song becomes more than music. Or perhaps it becomes music itself – depending on how you define it.

Louise Zwicki Piano - delivered 🚙
Handcrafted in Copenhagen during the 1960s, this Louise Zwicki upright reflects the golden era of Scandinavian piano building. The factory was known for combining Danish furniture tradition with musical craftsmanship – elegant lines, teak veneer, and minimalist Nordic style.
Inside you’ll find a German Renner action, one of the finest mechanisms of any time, ensuring precision, durability and a responsive touch. These instruments were created not only to look beautiful in the living room, but to fill it with the warm resonance of real wood and strings.
I’m grateful to have delivered this fine example, and it means a lot to know that its new owner truly values and appreciates it.

This is a Hellstrøm piano, made in Oslo at a time when Norway still had its own piano factories.
The style reflects the modernism of the 1950s and 60s: clean lines softened by warm wood grain, creating a cozy and timeless feel. The cabinet is veneered with exotic hardwood, most likely rosewood.
The atmosphere is both retro and timeless. It radiates Norwegian quality from the 1960s, when craftsmanship and materials were taken seriously.

On the top floor of the Kunstsilo in Kristiansand, there’s a beautiful old Steinway – a real treat to “jazz around” on when you’re in the area. I highly recommend a visit: it’s truly an experience for all the senses – and I do mean all.
The Kunstsilo itself is a striking blend of art and architecture, housing one of the most significant modernist collections in Northern Europe. It has quickly become a cultural landmark, and the visitor numbers in its first year have far exceeded all expectations, breaking previous records for art institutions in Norway.

Tonight’s Grand Finale at Rosendal Chamber Music Festival
We had the honor of being present at an inspiring closing concert featuring #LeifOveAndsnes, #YuliannaAvdeeva, #JamesBaillieu, #KnutChristianJansson, #MariEriksmoen, #EirikGrøtvedt, #DanielSæther, #Opus13, #JohanDalene, #OdaHoltGunther, #TimothyRidout, and #JuliaHagen.
The programme moved seamlessly from lyrical romances and Norwegian folk influences to contemporary premieres and energetic ensemble works. Every performance was delivered with precision, passion, and a strong sense of collaboration—a fitting conclusion to this year’s festival. 🎶This year also marked the end of an era, as #LeifOveAndsnes steps down after ten inspiring years as Artistic Director of the festival. Leif Ove Andsnes presents his last Rosendal Chamber Music Festival
This August marks the final Rosendal Chamber Music Festival, returning to its Norwegian roots in Hardanger, home to inspiration for artists like Edvard Grieg.
Founder and artistic director Leif Ove Andsnes reflects on “a wonderful 10-year period” and says it is fitting to end by celebrating three composers closely connected to this unique landscape and community. #nothinglastsforever
It was also special to share the evening with my dear wife, my mother, and my mother-in-law.

That moment when you’ve tuned the whole piano, only to realize the bass won’t hold pitch… and you start wondering if you should’ve taken one more week of vacation instead of pretending to be a hero.
In memory of Geirr Lystrup
We say farewell to Geirr Lystrup – a beloved voice in Norwegian music and storytelling. His songs captured the soul of the countryside and the heart of childhood. With warmth, wisdom, and wonder, he gave us characters and melodies that will live on for generations. A true artist and a gentle spirit – deeply missed, fondly remembered.
Brumunddal Church is a peaceful and welcoming place of worship - nestled in the heart of the Ringsaker region. Built in 1965, its simple, modern design reflects a quiet reverence that suits both joy and sorrow. Surrounded by forested hills and close to Lake Mjøsa, the church has long been a gathering point for the local community – a place where memories are honored and hope is shared
🎹 Throwback to Deichmanske Tøyen – April 2025
I had the honour of delivering a prepared piano for a surprise concert with the group Uld, where the song “Fra en annen virkelighet” (“From Another Reality”) set the tone for a truly special experience.
I couldn’t attend myself – but it was a real joy to know that the instrument didn’t just work flawlessly, but was exactly the right one for this intimate and atmospheric performance.
📸 The stage before it all began – almost like being there.

It’s tuning, decorating, and preparing – all for the big day: May 17th!
Norway’s National Day – a whole nation celebrating freedom in red, white, and blue! 🇳🇴🇳🇴
For over a hundred years, Norwegians have marked this day with joy, pride, and unity. The first official May 17th celebration took place in 1836, and it has since become a cherished tradition.
This scene is from Sødorp Church in Gudbrandsdalen, a beautiful wooden church built in 1752. Nestled in the heart of the valley, it stands as a quiet witness to centuries of local history, faith, and national spirit.
A festively dressed Norway – with green hills, white mountain peaks, blue skies, and the sun☀️shining from nearly midnight to midnight.
This is Norway in ❤️red, 🗻white, and 💙blue.
