Time (instrumental) Time is a one of those songs that are just waiting for lyrics. The idea of the music is to be about life, getting older. There are several places in the song that fits with "time goes by". 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 Originally made in 2019.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. In January I created a vocal version	11 May 2019	Pop
Murder That Nagging Wife A music piece with a story A woman is nagging her husband over and over again. - I want a new floor in the kitchen. - I want the hallway painted. - I want this, I want that. The husband gets more and more annoyed and one day he has had enough. He grabs the wife, ties her up, brings her to the railway track and ties her to the rails. We see the fast train approaching. We see the terrified eyes of the woman - who we all know deserves it. The train driver sees the woman and pushes the brakes all he can. Will the train stop in time? Well the music suggests that the train stops. But did it stop in time? Only the composer knows! The piece starts with a quiet synth arpeggio and a sad melody played on a typical DX7 type bell synth. This is the sad nagging. A B piece follows on guitar-like string instrument. The husband is building up his rage and frustration and drags her to the rails. We move to the C piece where the song changes into full symphony orchestra introducing a pompous melody with drums. The train is approaching. The B peace is played by glockenspiel backed by the cellos and flute. We are in the locomotive looking forward. Now we reach the final where the C piece is played by the horns and the DX7 is back playing the sad A melody backed by full orchestra. It all comes to the climax. The train getting all too near, and the fear and anger all mixed up. And the train slows down. The music and the train stops.... Many hours of work and a fun mix of classical orchestra and modern synth instruments. 26 tracks.	24 Jul 2018	Classical
The Beginning The Beginning... of it all. I tried to create a dramatic piece that could be used as a film score. The idea behind it came from playing with a sound that was made as 11th chords. I recorded a small progression and it all matched up nicely and invited for a mystic and grotesque melody to grow out of it. As I created the song I made additional themes that fit the progression and at the end I layer it all up.	22 Jul 2018	Electronica
Another Upbeat Song For Diane My sweet wife Diane will always be my most important inspiration. And she always wants me to make upbeat songs. So here is another one. The photo is taken some years ago but it has captured her warm mood so well. That is my Diane. I love you.	19 Jul 2018	Dance
Calypso Calypso was sort of a concept name of the song when I started writing it and I never found a better name so Calypso it is. The song starts as a plain pop melody. Then takes turns around a small corner with a B section. And then the whole thing builds up to an intermediate section with Spanish mixed with Eastern European folk tones. And in the last section the song adds further energy and layers until at the end the thing goes quiet and the original theme is played on a piano and acoustic guitar There are many working hours behind this song	19 Jul 2018	Pop
Scullcom Scullcom is short for Scullcom Hobby Electronics which is the name of a Youtube Channel that I watch and also the name of a website. This Youtuber is called Louis Scully and he has a wonderful way of explaining electronics so hobby people can understand the process of how to engineer stuff and improve it further along the way. Besides being a music geek I have always been an electronics geek and that is also what I make my living from. I built an electronic load which was inspired heavily by one he created in a video series and then I created my own version. So as a tribute to Louis I present this song. As I post this he does not know anything about it. Maybe he likes it. Maybe he hates it and then I have to renames it to something else. We will see ;-) Thank you Louis for your wonderful warm and interesting channel	19 Jul 2018	Pop
Never Too Late To Find Love Someone very close to me just got married. Both come from broken relationships, and both have adult children. They have found love again. Beautiful. Here is some music inspired by this	26 Jun 2016	Classical
Old Friends Sometimes I get a little sentimental when I think about old friends and colleagues that I used to be with almost every day and now they are either no longer part of my life or I see them very rarely. So this music is dedicated to the old friends. The style is a slow pop piece played by a mix of synths and classical orchestra. In this piece two of the leading instruments are synthed versions of sampled piano and guitar. But as you may notice both the piano and guitar do not sound authentic, and that is intentional. Both are sounds created by one of the most interesting sound designers PluginGuru. The piano patch is called "Do Androids Dream?" and the guitar is actually two different electric guitars layered and processed in patch called Stratus M. Stratus M was actually a BPM type patch where I removed the arpeggiation because I loved the sound of the instrument itself. Especially in the upper register where it almost sounds like a harp. The orchestra patches are all naturally sampled classical orchestra patches. I hope you enjoy this piece of music and think about your old friends when you listen to it	29 May 2016	Pop
African Party I have finally found some time to work on my music and it is now time for a party. This is the 2nd time I have been inspired by the South African Kwela style. The song is a fast tempo jazzy swinging happy piece. Enjoy	15 May 2016	World
Forever It has been a long time since I had time for my music. I have been working on this song since New Year but only a few hours per week. I love a good jazz waltz. I like the swing and how it moves in its 6/8 measure. I wrote a little simple text for it and sing it myself with my tiny little voice. The song is built on some strange chords I was experimenting with. Bb7Sus4, Eb7Sus4, Fm6, F7, Fm7b5, and Bb7. And strange chords gives new inspiration for the melody. Enjoy	28 Feb 2016	Jazz
The Mountaineer The Mountaineer. The seeker of the ultimate goals. The adventurer. The nature. The challenge. This song is dedicated to my friend and former colleague Jan Mathorne. It starts slow with a very Nordic sound and then speeds up into a pop piece with synth arps, guitars, and voices. And with this I wish you all a Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays. Enjoy Kenneth	25 Dec 2015	Pop
Paris I will let the music speak. I also dedicate this music to the memory of Bjarne Lavrsen	15 Nov 2015	Pop
Stomp The Old Boots This music should make you stomp a foot to the beat. You may also want to clap a fast 1-2-3. Slow moving, hard 4 to the floor folky piece of music with a mix of traditional instruments and synth. And a simple piece with only two chords but a lot of small melody lines. One, two, three - come and stomp with me. One of the hardest things when uploading music is to find a name for the song and an image to match. I first decided the name of the song and started searching for images with "old boots". And then some variations. I finally found these boots. Not very old boots. In fact very new boots in a very good shape. But they sure are beautiful boots and I am sure they can stomp to this music. Enjoy	18 Oct 2015	Folk
I Would Do Anything Anything, I Would Do Anything For A Touch Of your Love And A Place Of Your Heart That is how far I got with lyrics for this one The photo is Diane and I, 18 years ago, our wedding. Mmm. Sweet memories	11 Oct 2015	Pop
Space Dreams Space Dreams Music inspired by following the Danish ESA astronaut travel to the International Space Station and back again. Andreas Mogensen is the first Dane in space so there was a lot of news coverage about him. It has been amazing to hear how he has been dreaming about travel in space all his life and the many years of training it has taken to reach his goal. It was also fun to hear him talk to his mother from the space station, and her last remark was "remember to call when you have landed safely". The music genre must be a kind of Space Latin. I am very busy at the moment helping the open source software project Foswiki getting a new release stable so I have not had too much time making or listening to music. I will take this weekend to catch up on some listening.	19 Sep 2015	Latin
Romantic Vibes I was working on a dance type of synth piece when this modulating chord progression suddenly "showed up" and the very latin sounding melody appeared. So here is a latin inspired piece in combination with some 4 on the floor drum and bass beats. It has sun and beach and long drinks written all over it so it was natural to call it Romantic Vibes.	27 Jul 2015	Latin
Memory Of A Festival The last 10 days has been the time of the Copenhagen Jazz Festival. I have very nice fresh memories from this. This piece of music is a tribute to all the fine musicians that makes this event something very special. A fusion of jazz, latin, and prog rock. Remixed August 2018	13 Jul 2015	Jazz
Neon Lights It does not happen often that I post a cover version of a song but here is one of the rare exceptions. Neon Lights - by the German group Kraftwerk - from their great album The Man Machine. Today the original sounds lame and boring and far too long but this music really influenced the whole electronic dance music scene as we know it today. And Kraftwerk actually managed to write some really good songs with melodies that stays in your ear like a worm. And Neon Lights is one of those songs. I have created a my own interpretation of it. I have kept the melody and basic structure but I have changed the groove with drums and bass that gets the groove moving much more. I have changed the chords a little bit. I have added extra notes to the melodies to create more variation. And the long ending has been made short. And no singing, sorry I hope you will enjoy it.	19 Apr 2015	Electronica
Stomping Polka Inspired by the Country Stomp by sprkymrt I decided to try to make a similar piece of music. Well, as always creative process combined by limited skills makes a very diferent result. In this case it sounds more like a folky polka song. So here is my Stomping Polka in a Country Folk type of mix. I love to play with different genres and I hope I did not mess this one up too much	12 Apr 2015	Folk
Spring JCLeonard posted a beautiful track a couple of weeks ago 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. 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. Chord Progression and string/piano harmonies composed and played by JCLeonard. Melody - played by acoustic and electric guitars, voices, glasses, plucked piano, and harp - is composed and played by Kenneth Lavrsen	02 Apr 2015	Classical
Solar Eclipse A total solar eclipse is fascinating and beautiful. I was watching the one we had here in March 2015 live on TV. Both from the Faroe Islands and from Svalbard. This naturally inspired a piece of music. Enjoy.	27 Mar 2015	Pop
Glimpse Of A Time (Cover) It is not often that I post a cover but here is an exception I heard this song the first time last Friday sung by a 15 year old girl in the Danish X-factor and I was hypnotised by the beauty of it. Right after I found the original and it is even more beautiful. The song Glimpse Of A Time comes from an Danish artist "Broken Twin". Behind is very talented young woman Majke Voss Romme (woman on the picture). She writes beautiful songs and sings them so well while playing guitar or piano. Her debut album "May" was released last year and I highly recommend it. I have created this instrumental cover because I just had to. I tried to keep the arrangement simple like the original but I let the melody being played by 4 woodwind instruments: Clarinet, English horn, French oboe, and flute and developed it a tiny little bit. But what I would really wish for is that a singer picks it up and sings it. Here are some links to Youtube videos with the song in different versions * Youtube video live on Danish TV http://youtu.be/2Ho0-VE2o4I * Youtube video official video http://youtu.be/sg8gs88W51o * Youtube video X-factor (DR) Emilie Esther http://youtu.be/IoV2qxESZPs (Note that this version is shortened and does not contain several lines of lyrics) The song is (C) 2014 Antirecords and Majke Voss Romme (I hope this cover can elevate a little interest for her debut album)	13 Mar 2015	Pop
My Mind Is Free "If my body is enslaved, still my mind is free" - Sophocles Enjoy!	01 Mar 2015	Pop
The White Lady Sings The Hindsgavl Castle, Denmark, has its own ghost roaming the grounds. She is called The White Lady and bears a tragic story. On the day of her wedding, the coach carrying her to Hindsgavl crashed into a pond, and she got stuck in the coach and drowned. Now she is looking for her husband mainly in the park at midnight, but she has been spotted a few places around the castle as well. She only approaches men, as she seeks for her husband, and people say she disappears with a sigh, when she discovers none of them are her husband. It is also said that the ring for her finger is still somewhere around the castle. My wife and I celebrated Christmas 2014 at Hindsgavl Castle and late night on Christmas evening I chatted with Stan Loh and told him the story about the ghost. And his reaction was "I think we have a new project". Few days later he sent me this fantastic song. I added some musical details including the long opera/choral middle part and added other bits and pieces. Stan contacted Steve Hales and asked him if he would sing the song. Steve took the challenge and started working hard on it. And here 6 weeks later the result is here. I think his vocal work is fantastic. On behalf of Steve, Stan, and myself - I wish you a pleasant listen Vocal: Steve Hales All instruments and mix/master: Kenneth Lavrsen Music: Stan Loh and Kenneth Lavrsen Lyrics: Stan Loh	15 Feb 2015	Pop

Upbeat Song For Diane When Diane and I was driving home from our mini Christmas vacation we were listening to one of my old upbeat songs in the car. Diane said: "You should make some more upbeat songs". So here is an upbeat song for Diane. The image is taken in Tivoli when they did their beautiful fireworks. And with that I wish you all a happy 2015.	29 Dec 2014	Pop
Robins In Love For the first time I am introducing my little sister Djinnie Rasmussen. Djinnie asked me if I would create the backing music of a 1987 Danish hit called Vårvise (spring song). The song was originally a duet between the composer Sebastian and Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø. Djinnie wanted to record the song and give it to her husband Jørgen as a Christmas present. Naturally I could not resist such a romantic gesture and I accepted right away. When I had done the backing I asked Stan Loh if he would write English lyrics for the song, and he accepted. And I am very thankful for that because the result is really good. So here is the result: Robins In Love. Maybe I will also post the Danish version if encouraged to. Vocal: Djinnie Rasmussen All instruments and mix: Kenneth Lavrsen Music: Sebastian (1987) Lyrics: Stan Loh (2014) Photo: My sister Djinnie Merry Christmas, Jørgen. Hope you like your present. And Merry Christmas to all in iComp.	23 Dec 2014	Pop
Area 51 There is an Area 51 in most homes in which a married couple lives. A room, a space where the man can be himself. The place where only his idea of order and aesthetics rules. The only place where She Who Must Be Obeyed has no business and no saying. Female spoken words: Diane Chayer (She Who Must Be Obeyed) Male spoken words and all music: Kenneth Lavrsen (Area 51 installation commander)	23 Nov 2014	Pop
Empty Spaces Empty Spaces. The empty chairs that are left behind when people were laid off. People that are greatly missed. This describes the feelings of us that were left behind. A classical piece for full classical orchestra. It took 3 weeks and 20 tracks to complete this piece of music. I hope you all like it.	02 Nov 2014	Classical
