I am a philosopher, writer, artist, musician and music lover. Currently I work at Aalborg University Esbjerg, where I teach at the education in medialogy (= loosely speaking, media technology) and do research. I hold a PhD in philosophy from The University of Southern Denmark where I studied the role of norms in the coordination process of performing musicians. Prior to that I held an MA in philosophy and applied visual communication. If you want to know more about me and what I do/have done before, check out my website www.orkesterfilosofi.dk. |

Devin Townsend
Has filled the gap between music and modern sound art. At once heavy and calm - medicine for the mind
Opeth
In my opinion, they have attained the influencial role a band like Dream Theater had in the 90's. Always worthwile, even in routine moments
Jonatha Brooke
One of the most solid, reliable and ever spine-chilling singer-songwriters of our time
Mr. Bungle
(And other similar Mike Patton-projects) Some of the most disturbing and intricately composed music. Not for the squeamish.
Jethro Tull
(Up until 1982) Never heard a song I did not like. Like green tea for the ears :)
Twisted into Form
-
Then Comes Affliction to Awaken the Dreamer
This album embodies the majority of things I like about progressive metal. Brilliant from start to finish.
Dream Theater
-
Images & Words
The classic. A close shave with "Awake".
Sting
-
The Soul Cages
A pop concept album about death and sorrow. Often overlooked, as it is probably his least commercial release.
Devin Townsend
-
Terria
My favorite. See my comments on the Dev above.
Damn the Machine
-
Damn the Machine
Introvert and difficult to grasp at surface level, but deep and layered underneath. A cult item.
Orkesterfilosofi.dk
Well, this is arguably one of the sites I visit most often, as I edit it...
Youtube
As if Youtube needed an introduction... Anyway, if anything else fails, when I want to check out an artist, I try to find a clip on Youtube.
Soundcloud
The first site/app I check, if I want to check out an artist. The sound quality is usually great, and there are no ads.
Bandcamp
A fantastic forum for checking out - and buying - new music by independent artists (e.g. Amplifier, British Theatre...)
The Journal of Music and Meaning
I have been the Managing Editor of this academic open access journal for many years now. Check it out if you want to radically step up from the Youtube comment threads.
