Rauset music

I wrote this song originally in French, then English, and ended up with Swedish after my friend Jon Eimre helped me with singing the vocals. He lived in the same block as me before moving back to Stockholm where he has his own band.

The song is about seeking happiness in an old retro hotel called Plaza, with pictures of Zsa Zsa Gabor on the walls, a once famous B-film star from the fifties...

I have not yet released this song except for here on Soundcloud. Hope for a broader release some day.

A song about a meeting in Berlin 30 years ago

Piano, bass, trumpet and violin in my short version of a requiem.

Here is my Mechanical Harp in the midi harp version. Harp samples from the Vienna Symphonic Library.

(The harp on the photo is from Ringve Music Museum and is not the one played here).

I made this tune after hearing my young cat run over the piano keyboard. Animal inspiration... This song was also on my album of 23 years ago, but I wanted to redo it with a better sounding piano than I had then.

A made this version of Ave Maria when my mother died. She had heard me work on it and wanted me to play it in her funeral, which I did after a nigh's work to finish it. Audun Reithaug plays the upright bass, Amund Bjønness the guitar, and I do the violin and keyboards. It's based on Schubert's Ave Maria but with my own melody in the first verse.
