"Spaceship Earth is an album created by a musical perfectionist for music perfectionists. It won’t be pushing for a #1 Christmas chart position but it is certainly worth checking out. The most appropriate time would be with a glass of wine or something you rolled up to help you prepare for lift off.

The album Spaceship earth has been my obsession for 5 years now. It started with a strong desire to combine my acoustic guitar concerts with vocals, but then I decided to go bigger. I love the sound of stringquartets so I started writing down the tunes and experimenting with stringquartet arrangements. One of the first tunes I composed was "If I could" and I thought that turned out pretty nice with that dark sounding string vibe, so I decided to go for that sound. As a control-freak and composer I like the old-school way of making music by making scores. However, the best thing is that it usually ends up as so much more than dots on a paper with great musicians. I am lucky enough to have som amazing musicians and people with me on this project:
Ståle Birkeland-drums
John Lilja - Bass
Stringquartett:
Victoria Sørlie Folkedal-violin
Ellen-Martine Gismervik-Cello
Zane kalnina-Viola
Hanna Nicoline Moland-Viola
