Title	Published	Genre
Birds In Winter This is a mix of world music, electronica, and pop. With soundscapes, with major key chorus, and minor key verse. With human voices, old instruments, and cool synthesizer sounds I am not sure where the title came from. It just came to me. Enjoy the ride with the birds on a trip around the world - in winter	14 Oct 2013	World
I Feel Free After two weeks where it has been difficult to find time for my music, I am happy to post a new song. I Feel Free is a swinging pop tune with mostly "real" instruments - only one synth. As always with focus on chord progression and melody lines. Enjoy	01 Oct 2013	Pop
Comet ISON Astronomy, stars, planets, galaxies, comets. An eternal source of inspiration. Comet ISON is on its way towards the sun. It can be viewed in telescopes. After the passage round the sun, if the comets survives, it has potential to be so visible that we can see it in the morning even though it is daylight. The show should be around end of November and last maybe a month or so. Earth is safe on this one.	03 Sep 2013	New Age
Look Away A beautiful love song by Stan Loh. A song about love that could not last. Stan gave me free hands and I added some Asian traditional touch to this wonderful song Music, Lyrics, Vocal: Stan Loh Additional music, all instruments, arrangement/mix: Kenneth Lavrsen Drawing by Iris Claymore	21 Aug 2013	Pop
The Day She Walked Away Melancholic tune. A man looking back thinking about the woman he loved so much. The woman that walked away one day. A slow pace piece with strong focus on the melody. Mainly in E-minor but modulates to other keys. Melody instruments are sitar guitar and jazz guitar. And the huge orchestra with strings, woodwinds, horns, piano, and a few synth arpeggios to give a strong rhythmic feel. One day maybe someone will write lyrics. Maybe some crooner voice will sing the song. But I think the story is told very clearly without words. The power of music. And love, the inspiration that will always be.	09 Aug 2013	Pop
Funky Feet My first project in Logic X. Getting used to it. This is a funky little piece as you may have guessed. Dance along.	01 Aug 2013	Pop
On The Rocks A light hearted rock and roll piece with a shuffle swing, surely inspired by all the swinging nice jazz I have heard in concerts at this years Copenhagen Jazz Festival.	18 Jul 2013	Rock
Memory Of Krakow Fusion of pop, opera, and classical orchestra music. I was in Krakow, Poland a few weeks ago on a short business visit. The beautiful city and the friendly people made a good impression on me and want me to go back. Here is my musical tribute. The melody itself came to me in a dream. I woke up a morning and had the melody in my head and I immediately grabbed my iPad and keyed it in as a simple piano track. I have no clue if I have heard part of the melody line somewhere else.	02 Jul 2013	Classical
Fly Higher Fly Higher has its name from the fact that I composed the first notes sitting with my iPad on an air plane. So the name stuck It is a pop song with a strong melody and a swinging jazzy rhythm. I have been playing with changing key several times during the rather long chord progression. Mainly acoustic instruments and voices. But also a few polished synth sounds. And it is the first song I post where I play on my new Roland A-88 midi keyboard. And I love it.	26 Jun 2013	Pop
Party Round The BBQ Summer! Yeah! Time for a party round the BBQ. With good friends, cold beer, and a big dirty steak the size of a toilet seat.	18 Jun 2013	Pop
Magician The Magician. The great illusionist. The close-up trick. The escape act. Thrilling us. Amazing us. Expressed in music. Starting with a brief soundscape to set the scene and quickly continues as a 95 bpm melodic mainly synth piece (An African marimba and electric guitar is also heard). And in D Dorian. Enjoy the magic	11 Jun 2013	Electronica
Procession Procession. I imagine some warm country where a small town is having a yearly celebration with a beautiful procession with drums and dancing people. And with lots of colours. It is a bit of mix of styles. Indian percussion mixed with heavy metallic drums. Synth sounds, and piano plays joyful melodies that perhaps sound more medieval European. And a slow pace which appears fast because the rhythm swings. Enjoy	02 Jun 2013	World
Not So Bad At All I wrote this song back in February inspired by my 25th year anniversary as an employee in the same company. And as always I intended to write lyrics. And as always I get stuck after 2 lines. I am just not a poet. I am a composer. The idea of the song was some words like Same place - 25 years "Same place of joy and with fears Lala la la la laaa ...... .... it was Not so bad at all" If one of you with more poetic genes want to write lyrics and/or sing it - I am always ready for a collab. Image is from my reception at work. Yeah. Having a drink again.	14 May 2013	Pop
The Little Blue Tit The blue títs are again breeding in our nesting box. I have a camera in the nesting box with infrared light so we can follow them day and night. The female has laid 10 eggs like it did last year. Last year 8 of them hatched and all 8 babies grew to fly and leave the nest which is exceptional. Normally the last ones hatched do not make it. It all depends on the amount of food the adults can find. It will be exciting to follow then again this year. As last year these cute tiny birds have inspired music. It is a slow piece with guitar, bag pipe, and flute. Enjoy. Image is not one of my own. Incredible photo taken by a Danish garden owner	05 May 2013	Folk
Looking Back On My Life This time a melodic easy listening song, for piano, string orchestra, harp, acoustic and electric guitars. The plan is later to make a vocal version. I still only have a few lines written starting with "When I'm looking back on my life, I have no regrets". I see an older man singing this looking back on his life, thinking about how good it has been even though there has been difficult times and things were not always easy.	15 Apr 2013	Pop
Comet On Collision Course With Earth So today I decided to send a comet on a collision course with earth. A comet that sneaked in behind the sun where noone can see it. And suddenly it was there heading straight for us. In 4 minutes and 34 seconds after you press play, it is all over. What are you going to do the last 4:34 minutes you have left?	07 Apr 2013	Pop
Fly With Me By Stan Loh Weeks ago I heard Kenneth Lavrsen post this song - Solen er så rød, Mor (SolenErSaaRoedMor) - I liked it and on my plane ride back from Southeast Asia, was writing English lyrics for it. After writing these lyrics, I was fooling around and this tune came up. So, what the heck, it became my own composition! And of course my buddy Kenneth did the music, and production! He fixed all my pitchyness as well! Thanks my friend! Well, I turned a Children's song into a Farewell song.	30 Mar 2013	Pop
The Riders Of Iceland This song was composed for my sister Djinnie who owns and rides an Icelandic horse. She needed music for a riding competition called "Tølt in Harmony" which is a brand new style where the objective is to display harmonic riding style in the special gait Tølt which is unique to Icelandic horses. I was measuring the pace of her horse so the music would fit. So the music had to run at 102 bpm. It had to be not too dominating. So I wrote a long chord progression and some melody lines and recorded this song. How did it go? It didn't. The horse had its own will and refused to stay in the transporter. It was splitting it apart. So she never started. But the music is there for next time. There is an extra twist to this music. When Thierry (thsantac) and Iqbal (ihussain) started on the Triangular Sandwich, we needed something to start from. So I sent Thierry and Iqbal the chord progression played in a different style and slower tempo. And then first Iqbal and then Thierry composed based on that. I had already done this horse song so I reused one of the melodies in Triangular Sandwich. I hope you will enjoy the music The picture is my sister Djinnie and her horse.	30 Mar 2013	Pop
Triangular Sandwich A Triangular Sandwich - from Britain, with Foie Gras from France, and Danish Bacon. For the first time, a collaboration between Thierry (thsantac), Iqbal (ihussain), and myself Kenneth. The initiative came from Thierry and Iqbal and I were thrilled with the idea. The idea was that it should be music inspired by Mike Oldfield. We built the track on a chord progression I was already working on for another purpose. And then Iqbal built the first section of the song. Thierry followed up with the second section. And I added a 3rd section and built a 4th section with a little bit of all 3 of us. So here is our triangular sandwich from Thierry, Iqbal and myself. Enjoy.	25 Mar 2013	Pop
Warm Hearts Kwela An upbeat song, inspired by a fantastic vacation in South Africa a few years ago. Kwela is a music style that started in the townships in South Africa in the 50s. It is originally based around simple guitar and penny whistles and normally follows a I, IV, I(6/4), V - chord progression. Since then the style has been developed by groups like Mango Groove. I have given the style my own variation here. Heavy on drums and penny whistles naturally. But lots of other instruments. Two scarbee bases (fat and slap), ukulele, Rhodes, piano, a little synth pad, acoustic guitar, melodica, pluck piano (sounds like an African home made string instrument), mandolin, kora, African marimba, bolon, African percussion, and an African food market. 22 tracks. Crank that volume up and make some space on the floor to dance. Here we go! Warm Hearts Kwela, sent from the cold north.	12 Mar 2013	World
Candlelight Supper Smooth instrumental music, perfect for one of my wife's candlelight suppers. Both my wife and I love the British TV Comedy "Keeping Up Appearances". My wife is not a snob at all, but she has other similarities with Mrs. Hyacinth Bucket. Like when we invite friends for dinner and she will cook for 2 days to impress them. Or when we go to the opera and I will let her choose which clothes I am wearing. Last Friday was my 25th anniversary at Motorola Solutions, and we were going to a reception at which I was to wear shirt, jacket, and a tie. Problem was that thanks to several candlelight suppers I could not close the top button on any of my shirts, so I rushed down to the mall and came home with two new shirts. And as I came in I said: "Hyacinth, I bought two so you could feel you made the decision of which shirt I should wear". She had already chosen my pants, tie, and jacket. Now naturally my wife Diane has a counter attack. She says I fit perfectly the character Onslow. And she could have a small point there	05 Mar 2013	Pop
King Of Anything "King of Anything" is a song written and recorded by American singer Sara Bareilles in 2010. .......Not long after I was introduced to it, I knew it was a song I really wanted to do a version of. .....Thank you, Kenneth for coming up with such a "terrific" music backtrack for me to do so. Doing the harmonies on this were challenging, fun, and an overall learning experience. Hope you all enjoy what Kenneth and I came up with.	03 Mar 2013	Pop
Every Day Is A Miracle Once again, love has been the endless source of inspiration for music. And this time a vocal piece where I sing myself.	26 Feb 2013	Pop
Circle Dance Genre this time is folk music with a Nordic sound and feel. I use a mix of traditional instruments, synth, and voice. The rhythm is slow (75 bpm) and strong but without heavy drum beating. A folky tune that would be great to grab each other in the hands and dance in a large circle. Like I experienced people doing in Barcelona when they dance the Sardana. This is the original version published in 2013. You should also check out the new synth/acoustic 2024 version and the new acoustic version	12 Feb 2013	Folk
The Rat Chase Melodic high tempo techno. Electronica with chord progression and melody lines. That is how I like it. Now why "The Rat Chase"? This Sunday morning my wife dragged me out of bed saying "There is something you have to see, hurry". And what I saw was this big rat sitting on our bird feeder just outside our living room window. And it stayed there for 10 minutes until I decided to chase it away. I managed to take a picture of it through the window. So the song of the day became The Rat Chase. I imagine a cat chasing the rat in the gardens.	05 Feb 2013	Electronica
Solen er så rød, Mor Solen er så rød, Mor (The Sun Is So Red, Mom) For once not a composition of my own. This is a lullaby written by the Danish composer, Carl Nielsen. It was written in 1924 from a poem written by Danish poet Harald Bergstedt. Carl Nielsen is well known world wide for his symphonies and other classical works. This is an instrumental version first, because I think the melody is incredibly beautiful and powerful even without the words. I may post a vocal version if encouraged. The song is still being recorded by artists today. Often changed to a modern version in 4/4. But the original is in slow 6/8, written for voice and piano, and that is how I have chosen to play it. The poem is about a little boy just gone to bed and he sings to his Mom. It is about the feelings and thoughts that are awaken in a little boy as he thinks about the sunset, the night, the dead sun, the fox in the dark forrest, the cat outside, the stars. He wonders if the stars have boys living on them, boys just like him, looking down on him. Finally he rests as the stars and his mother sing to him. It is a very moving song, and because it has some hidden layer that adults can put more into, it is actually also occasionally sung at funerals. You can see the stars reflecting themselves in my eyes when I hear this song.	31 Jan 2013	Childrens
Agent Lady Rose Agent Lady Rose. A theme from a 70s TV series about a beautiful classic female agent saving the world from the bad guys. A TV series that never existed. It is all something I made up. And naturally such a TV series needs theme music. This is my idea of how the music would sound like. Inspiration comes from music by composers like John Barry. It is a waltz - 6 beats to the bar. It has a rather long chord progression with several modulations between keys signatures on the way. It has been fun to make. Enjoy It was a coincidence that i found a picture of Hedy Lamarr. She was a really beautiful woman. And when I read about her she turns our to be a mathematician and inventor also. She invented some of the basic frequency hopping techniques that are used today in e.g. wireless networks. What a surprise. I did not know that when I picked a random photo from the net. Perfect character for my Agent. Sad she is dead now. Maybe my wife could play the part ??!	22 Jan 2013	Pop
Happy Hour In The Beach Bar I felt like writing a happy tune. Dream myself down to the sun. Mmm, a cold drink sitting on the beach in a bar. And it is happy hour. Why don't you join our table?	12 Jan 2013	Pop
Sunshine A Cold Winter Morning Melodic classical and rock ballad with a little twist of electronica . . just a little. A musical painting of the beautiful view of nature a frozen winter morning when the sun rises. Painted with warm cellos, whispering violins, a boys and a mens choir, a little synth, and some power electric guitars. Playing with mixing genres as I love to do it. And with this I wish you all a happy new year	02 Jan 2013	Classical
The Woman I Love - Home from War By Pharmakeus Original by Kenneth Lavrsen. Lyrics by Pharmakeus. With Kenneth's very kind permission, I added vox and some lead guitar. Postproduction by Pharmakeus. This beautiful song is dedicated to Kenneth's wife smiley It probably really deserves a better voice than mine. I am sure that Kenneth would be okay if anybody wantyed to redo the vox. please pm me if you would like that and I will send you the scratch file -- I just hope I have not ruined it. Thank you for listening. p.s. Felicia, get home safe. We miss you.	31 Dec 2012	Pop
