As I wrote this piece the topic of racism and ethnic discrimination was once again very much in the spotlight by a very tragic event in Norway. And it seemed

very appropriate for me to proceed with my initial idea to take a stand for all humans equal rights and against racism and ethnic discrimination.

The piece has nine different section with the following titles:

1. stand firm against racism and discrimination

2. all humans are sisters and brothers

3. minority rights, majority obligations

4. don't be scared of the unfamiliar

5. open your eyes against the world

6. much to feel sorry and angry for

7. love and integration

8. in your mind and actions...

- Images from the Brain

Organ solo

It has often been said that good music preferably is a mix between reason and emotion. The latter

distinction being closely related to the the dualist separation of mind and body often attributed to

Descartes. This piece is not only an unbalanced mix between analytic and at times mathematical content and emotional content; in addition it also brings forth the question of what it is possible to deduct from the outside of what happens inside the brain.

Jazz trio

ca 9 min

Jazz trio

I. On Archaic ground

II. New and inherited patterns

III. Deconstruction

The three sections are based on three different approaches to the interplay between art music and jazz. But the idea was also to put this into a larger context. I am interested in how different cultural traditions in general can change. And I think I have found three important ways: 1) one tradition can change by absorbing features from a different tradition, 2) it can change with very careful and deliberate alteration, and 3) it can be changed by more radical dissolution of the structures that defines the culture. I would like to point out that I have no real intention to change the jazz tradition as the jazztrio stands for, but instead explore these ideas in an overall sound collage-like composition.

We all have to relate to the much feared threats to our environment in some way. How will our world be changed in the future if the temperature

keeps rising? In the current situation we have to try to change something, but should we go "back to nature" in some sense or will we solve

the problem with technological means? One thing is clear though, we can't go back in time to how it was before.
