The 10th of December 2014 shall be the greatest day of my life! I have been asked by Laura Marie Rueslåtten to compose a carillon piece for the opening ceremony of the Nobel Peace Prize 2014 in Oslo. I can’t say much at the moment but it is going to be a long and massive composition, filled with Joy and Light.
A little souvenir by Tobias Abt of the Daughtervill Festival 2014 in Hamburg where Vember played on last Saturday. We still have 2 two festivals coming on in July: Blank It Open Air Berlin on the 19 of July and BombRocks on the 26th of July in Hamburg.
