Surrounded by the beautiful scenery of eastern Norway,
my story is told through improvisational music and fine art photography,
a result related to the present moment,
a journey of different expressions.
Its very inspiring reflecting my direction of art
- MK


A meeting between figurativism and abstraction,
moving the solo format and photography in new and exciting directions,
presented together or separately,
a trademark modern Nordic
"In addition to his playful and original way of playing drums
Karlsen operates synthesizers and electronics
in real time with an impressive precision and feeling"
- Tomas Linnes/NXN recordings/Naxos group
