I have just come back from Oslo where the Nobel Peace Prize 2014 ceremony occurred on the 10th of December. The bells of the Oslo City Hall welcomed and accompanied the guests and the King Harald V of Norway on their way to the Grand Hall of Oslo City Hall with my composition “Ringing Peace” performed by Laura Marie Rueslåtten. The whole event is was broadcast by the National Norwegian Television NRK and you can watch it on their website www.nrk.no

The French pianist Nicolas Horvath just premièred my new piano piece “You saw me die every Night” on the 29th of November in Minsk, Bielorussia. The piece was written for his Project Glassworlds and further performances are being planned around the world for 2015.

The project is going forward and I am right in the process of composing  the piece for carillon that Laura Marie Rueslåtten will perform on the 10th of December during the opening concert of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo. We just have launched a website entitled Ringing Peace that explains the project, keeps people posted and gives them insights into the project and its evolution until the Big Day.

Fritz Kalkbrenner’s third album “Ways over Water” is out since the 17th of October. I spend two weeks with Fritz in the studio last January recording the guitar and the bass for this album and am really proud of what came out.
