Lament for organ
The world is a lesser place without Steve Jobs, we must all do our uttermost to make it better.
With Halloween drawing closer, it’s the season for dark, ghostly music and scary images so here’s an excerpt of ‘Cortège & Danse Macabre” (Procession and Dance of Death) from the symphonic suite ‘Cantabile’ -- now on YouTube. As performed by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Thomas Dausgaard, at the premiere performance in 2009.

More dark classical music
Here is an excerpt from “Crossing Borders” from the album Like a Flame. It is a free improvisation in the shape of a “Toccata” played on the pipe organ in Jørlunde church:
Some years ago I composed “Polyphony”. It’s hard to classify, but could probably be called a fusion of contemporary classical music and progressive (or prog) rock…

My new album “Like a Flame” can now be ordered from all over the world! I’m maintaining a list of online stores that carries the album on this page.
My next album “Like a Flame” will finally be released in ten days – on November 21st – by the Swedish record company Proprius Music! It’s a double album with 23 of my own works performed on the pipe organ in Jørlunde church.
In the week following November 21st, where I’m holding a “CD release concert” in Jørlunde church at 16:00 (4 pm), it will be available in most of Scandinavia, with the rest of the world following soon after. But I will post the specific release dates for each country/region as soon as I know myself.

New page about the darker sides of my music…
I have just finished writing a new in depth article about the organ I have been involved in designing: The New Pipe Organ in Jørlunde Church. In the article I talk about the history of the project, as well as the thoughts behind every voice in the organ. It also includes a detailed stop-list, pictures, videos, and music samples.
