Raftsund in the Lofoten Islands, about 6 km. from where I grew up. :-)

Not much to tell — I grew up in the Lofoten Islands (northern Norway) and still try to spend as much time as possible there ( for my soul-health). I am an psychiatrist (no jokes please!) practicing mainly in Scandinavian (Norway, Sweden, sometimes Denmark). In my free time I compose, these days almost just with Reaktor (which I discovered about a year ago). I am "unpublished" and a little bit shy to post my pieces, so I hope you will be kind and find them nice and a little bit interesting.

Cat On Venus (2.6 mb)

Naadan (2.1 mb)

Plain Brain (2.6 mb)

Plonkis (1.7 mb)

Vienna (2.8 mb)

I made all of these pieces using the Metaphysical Functions ensemble. No layering/overlaps, no effects (except for the ones built into MF) — just a lot of editing (in Wavelab) and a little of compression/EQ to brighten up the mix. Each "movement" uses sounds derived from its MF snapshot (Cat on Venus, Naadan, Plain Brain, Plonkis, and Vienna).
