What is your purpose in music?
What motivates you?
It's not so much a matter of having
a goal, but an intrinsic drive.
Playing music, being on stage or
in the studio: there is nothing in
my life I would rather be doing
and I would give up a lot to do that.
What are your hobbies
and passions besides music?
Reading, bouldering
and hiking/biking in nature.
Which other genres do you play
or listen to and how do you incor-
porate them in your contemporary
music practice?
I am a musical 'omnivore', but I mainly
play indie, pop and jazz besides
contemporary music. I think it's very
interesting and useful to approach
contemporary music in terms of groove,
song structures, playing together
as a band, ... things we associate more
with popular than classical contemporary.
Anyhow, I don't like to think too much in
labels. I think of music as a colurful
spectrum and I like to move through it
as freely as I can!
What is your most cherished
Nemø anecdote or memory?
That time during the first corona wave,
when we submitted a funding application
and we submitted it less than a minute
before the deadline. We were so far away
from each other behind our computer
screens but felt so released and happy
we made it, cheering and laughing so
hard that it felt for a moment that we
were all together.
(We didn't get the money, though...)
Which book are you taking
with you on a longer trip?
Proust: ‘à la recherche du temps perdu’
And all the other books on my night desk
waiting to be read :')
Tell us a secret that nobody knows!
Last month, it was 7 years since
I went to the dentist
