I was born and grew up in Norway, Scandinavia, but I have spent much of my adult life living and working in England as a music composer, producer, and sound designer.

After an active life in the underground Amiga demo-scene, where I was somewhat tongue-in-cheek known as Dr Awesome / Crusaders, I started writing music for commercial projects, mostly Amiga games, around 1991.

My music brought me to the UK in 1995 and since then I've been composing, producing and recording music for large and small projects, from handheld video games to large planetariums. I write custom made music for companies, and I also sell non-exclusive licenses to my already existing music, a catalogue which now comprises about 300 music tracks in various styles and genres.

I consider myself lucky to have been able to make a good living on my music. I've written telephone ringtones for BT (British Telecom), ambient music for TV, some of which has featured on BBC 1 and many other stations world wide, and been able to work in a wide variety of styles including progressive rock, jazz, funk, ambient, solo piano, experimental, relaxation / meditation, electronic, trance and techno, hip-hop and more.

I live with my wife and our daughter, a stone's throw from the ocean in Stavern, a beautiful small Norwegian coastal town. I compose and produce music both for fun, and for a living.
