Enjoying some late 80s Norwegian pagan folk-rock-punk from Ym:Stammen. I got this when it came out in 1987. A friend of mine painted the cover, and the singer was an acquaintance. The first time someone from "our" crowd had made something so professional. Mind you, I was 16, they were 20-somethings.

If you, like me, appreciate dynamics in music, here's a tip: Youtube has recently introduced default dynamic range compression on their videos. It's called Stable Volume. Turn it off if you think music is already over-compressed.

Hey Dream Theater! You're so interested in craft and artistry. You charge a pretty penny to come hear the sound of a lifetime of practicing.
Yet you couldn't be bothered to pay your own few pennies to one of the myriad talented artists that would love to make a cover for you. Nah, let's AI it!

I guess I'll post a bit of what I do musically here as well. Recently released is the second album with my electronica/dash of jazz-funk project Donner, called The Van Gennep Gap.
And coming early December, is the long-awaited (?) remastered reissue of White Willow's 2004 album Storm Season.

Apart from making and listening to music, watching old movies, reading old books and going for walks with my dog, I also like to take bad pictures of nice scenes with my ancient phone, preferably at dusk.
