I am so proud of my wife; she is an amazing music composer, and sound designer!
This is the final video from her university project (a re-imagining of I, Robot’ soundtrack, and SFX).
I sincerely don’t know anybody her age who could pull this off. Check it out—don’t hesitate to support her, and like her page. Also don’t hesitate to hire her for any music work of yours—she’s not just a composer, she’s also making transcriptions of music scores, lyrical vocals etc. for a living. Don’t be shy! ❤️

📢 News time:
ARK was founded by John Macaluso and Tore Østby, as you may know.
Well I shared the funny story recently, about how I was invited to play some keys on the third ARK album, which finally never happened. It’s no secret that I was one of the band’s biggest fans. You can easily imagine my frame of mind.
Well John (Macaluso) contacted me recently, and asked me if I would be OK to join him for his upcoming 2018 clinics. I accepted immediately!
We’re not just going to play some ARK stuff. Something bigger is in the making. Something special.
I think you guys are going to love this one, can’t wait to announce it!
Rock.on! 🤟🏻
