Title	Published	Genre
Circle Dance (Acoustic Orchestra) Genre this time is folk music with a Nordic sound and feel. 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. I originally published this in 2013. In 2024 I created two new versions. This version is a new fully acoustic classical orchestra version The instruments you hear are in order of appearance - Upright bass and piano - Cymbals - Clarinet - Domra and mandolin - Female voice, celeste, bassoon - Flute, alto saxophone, acoustic guitar, violins, violas - Shakers, conga drums, timpany, hi-hats - Hand claps, cellos, double basses, oboe, female voices (singing pa pa papapa), tubas You should also check out the new synth/acoustic 2024 version Also available in full CD Quality	31 Mar 2024	Folk
Circle Dance 2024 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. I originally published this in 2013. In 2024 I created two versions. This one is a completely new version with better instruments and better mixing and mastering. You should also check out the acoustic version You can also listen to the file in full CD quality	30 Mar 2024	Folk
Spring 2024 Back in 2015 on iCompositions JCLeonard and I did a collaboration. He posted a beautiful track for open collab. A classical style piece with a lovely simple progression and nice harmonies and decorations by a piano and bells. When I heard it, a melody started forming in my head and I knew I had to record it. The thing with open collabs is that it is always a patch work and choice of instruments and the chords, the harmonization, may not fit the melody perfectly. I always wanted to redo the harmonization and write a chord progression that fit the melody better and also to arrange the orchestra and remove elements that never really fit my melody. So here is Spring in a 2024 version, completely rewritten and rearranged. So here it is. A slow elegant piece that describes the wonderful spring that we are in the middle of. My favourite time of the year.	31 Jan 2024	Classical
Time (vocal version) I have earlier posted an instrumental version of this song and I always promissed myself that I would write lyrics for it. I take a long time to write lyrics. Especially this song took time because I had a clear idea what I wanted to say in the song and it was difficult to find the right words. But here it is. A piece with huge orchestration. One of those that took quite some time to make. Originally made in 2019. I remixed it and replaced some sound libraries in 2023. And in 2024 I added the lyrics and recorded it. The voice is Kevin from Synth V.	31 Jan 2024	Pop
Where To Find Me Where to Find Me Music and Lyrics by Stan Loh Stan was inspired by an original poem by Catherine Prutton Musical instruments played, arranged, and mixed by Kenneth Lavrsen The image is from Google Earth and shows where to find Stan and me . Note the long physical distance but short artistic distance.	22 Jan 2024	Pop
Night At The Lake This piece tells the story of walking around a lake in the forest in the middle of the night. We hear the animals. Then the early morning begins and finally the sunrise in its glory. The night piece is a string instrument and flute. Then as the twilight begins the main theme is played on piano and as at the sunrise we hear the full orchestra. I hope you enjoy the trip	04 Dec 2023	Classical
Sophisticated Hoods A new song written by Stan Loh. Stan sings, plays guitar, and also provided a drum track. I added two additional guitars, acoustic double bass, a synth based on vocal sample, and some percussion. And I mixed the result.	30 Nov 2023	Pop
The Joys Of Life Stan writes: A reflective song about love life. Kenneth Lavrsen developed, arranged, and did all the instruments in this wonderful backing.	20 Nov 2023	Pop
Hymn of Peace 2023 This is a new version of a song I posted in 2012. A simple song with simple melody, simple chords, and a simple message. I always wanted to repost this song one day with actual lyrics. The occation is that we need peace right now more than ever. Voices are a mix of AI voices and my own voice.	13 Nov 2023	Classical
Rhône Rhône is a song I have been working on since 2014. It started as a chord progression and a theme which is still in the final version. What took time was to arrange it and add additional themes so that the song got the variations and development that makes it worth listening to. Rhône is one of the main rivers in France and Diane and I love to visit the wine districts along the river and drive around in the French Alps	09 Nov 2023	Pop
The Perfect Couple The Perfect Couple. That is Diane and I naturally. This song started by making some fun chord progression with several key changes. And then I bought Synthesizer V - a fantastic vocal synth software. And as I played with it making rubbish lyrics, the whole thing ended up with this result. Some background. When I do not make music, I automate things in our house. The geek! And the suitcase story goes back 10 years where Diane had been travelling and she woke in the middle of a nightmare where she dreamt that she had lost her suitcase. At the same time I played with music in Garageband on my iPad and the very first primitive song I did was called "Where is my suitcase?" which I never published. I hope you have as much fun listening to this as I had making it. The singers are Synth V voices Solaria and Kevin	09 Nov 2023	Pop
Idea It started as a musical idea. And it ended with a lot more ideas And the title became Idea	21 Oct 2023	Pop
The Night It has been a year since I released a song. This has been worked on for a long time and what started as a Banjo country inspired song ended up as an upbeat synth instrumental The image is made at a random image AI site where I asked it to make a cover picture for a song called The Night	22 Jun 2023	Pop
Everyday Hero Everyday Hero was composed with a dear friend and colleague in mind. A special one that put his own health at risk to help me when I needed help. A friend that waited for me in a hospital waiting room till 4 AM in the morning. Thank you, my everyday hero. You know who you are	29 Mar 2022	Classical
Charming Charming is the working name of this song. It ended up as a complete mess of genres and there is no story behind it. So charming it is. It starts jazzy and ends up as a 4 to the floor banger.	28 Mar 2022	Pop
Tapas Tapas Tapas This track is inspired by Spanish music. It starts with an Andalusian cadence but then develops all over the place. When Diane and I were in Sevilla (Andalusia, Spain) in 2003 we heard the restaurant waiters calling for the tourists passing by shouting "Tapas, Tapas, Tapas". And yes we love tapas and we had a lot of tapas.	11 Feb 2022	Latin
The Little Things This is an instrument slow tempo pop song. The title is the work title I started with. The little thing in life that matters.	24 Jan 2022	Pop
Julehygge Julehygge. Danish for Christmas cosiness. A song written in December 2021 inspired by home life decorating for Christmas, drinking Christmas beers, eating Christmas cookies.	31 Dec 2021	Pop
Lake Como A jazz waltz inspired by a really nice vacation at Lake Como, Italy, 2021	31 Dec 2021	Jazz
Lydia Goes Crazy This piece of music started as with playing around with Lydian mode but then the song developed and went back to major and minor and some double harmonic and.. it just went crazy - but I like the result	11 May 2019	Pop
