..happy to share that I am among the nominees for a Danish Music Award Jazz 2025: “Composer of the Year” for my work with TUNGEMÅL: Confluencia on ILK Music.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thanks for listening!

Congrats to all nominees. What an awesome crowd! People I studied with, people I have played with and people I have taught ٩( ᐛ )و

Susana, Simon and Ingar: Thanks for your beautiful dedicated work with our music ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

Jazz Danmarks DMA show is on december 2nd at VEGA.
Have a great day!

TUNGEMÅL is about the quality of our conversations. How do we speak musically, and in general, in different languages? The project seeks to investigate, illustrate and raise awareness of the continuous cross-cultural inter humane debate, towards a more varied and complex perspective of the world. Cherishing diversity and multiple insights. The confluence of knowledge and resources, of our individual voices. A conversation that becomes increasingly important if we are to solve the challenges of our society and species.

The music on “Confluencia” is performed by a wonderful gathering of some of my favourite partners in crime:
Susana Santos Silva · trumpet
Mark Solborg · guitars & electronics
Simon Toldam · piano & keys
Ingar Zach · percussion and vibrating membranes

The album is out on ILK Music. Find the vinyl package at the ILK webshop, Bandcamp or your local vinyl-pusher.
