It's been some trouble with this site for a while, seems like many of you have lost contact with it. I hope it's better now.

And great thanks to all that listen to my music, and sharing it.

And I've had months out of time, so very little has been done. But now I got the whole summer to work, I'll try to keep my schedule and finnish this record early fall .
And one new track today: "Detour from mars", It's only me playing on this.
a new instrumental.

So, I hope everybody get a nice summer.

Your sincerely
Erling

So, a long and cold winter is over. A lot of snow to shovel, firewood to carry, now it's all gone. Hope all of you looks forward to a good year.

I Have uploaded a new experimental electronica piece of music,"LETTER".
It is a story I started back in 2011, worked on it on and off until 2017. Then my
computer crashed, I still have backup files but no software for it ( I changed from pro-tools till logic).
I got this version, It needs a new mix, one day I will do so, but I think it still is worth to listen to it. A finished mix will be on the the next record released sometime in the. summer/ early fall this year.

This and DAY IN, DAY OUT will not be able to buy before later this year.

So: keep truckin'. Erling Ofstad

Happy Hollidays,and happy new year to all of you. We have passed winter solstice and time runs, so soon it's spring. I guess

And a big thanks to you for listening to my music.

I have uploaded some new music today: "Day inn, day out", It's an instrumental piece, very different from the other songs. It's the more experimental side of me doing this. And I'm not depended on other link do it link piece was made through 2022.
I'll release another one early in January . And I work with new songs, too, done sometime 2024.

so, keep truckin' , all of you!

It is an anthology of songs I've written the last 25 years. We started the recordings back in 2011, did three songs with a band ( Firefly, The other sun and Recognition ), one in 2013 ( Learned to fall ), and one in 2014 ( In a dream, will be released later ). Then 5 years dissapeared in other things, Started up again in 2019 with two songs, ( You cannot lose and That's right ), and the last two songs where recorded 2022-2023 ( Dizzy mind and Love like ours ).

And I have to give the greatest thanks Tim Scott Mcconnell for his contribution, his playing, arrangements and production are essential. Love you dearly, Tim. This wouldn't happen without you. And a great thanks to Studio Studio Nyhagen , Kjartan Hesthagen and Ronnie LeTekrø.

Happy new year and a great thanks to all that listen to this music. It is inspiring and motivates me to finish this project in reasonable time. Since my path never has been straight ahead, I work on different projects ( Search for `Identifying flying objects` on n1m, there you'll find some experimental electronica I made with a friend of mine, Sven Kalmar, some years ago, and working on another electronica project now ). and I'm easy to distract, too,so, things takes time. But I'm sure I'll finish it before summer is here.

Erling

Here is the final version of `The other sun`. I have put a new lead guitar on it and the mix is slightly different.
It will still take time to Finnish this project, but I start to see the end of it. Still some songs that needs a lot of work, and I start in January to release songs for sale, and I expect the whole record to be done in late spring.


Erling

Here is a new song: `My dizzy mind`. It's still just a demo, it will come in a new version sometime in spring link is written back in 2015 and recorded in my home studio this year. I've done everything on this, but expect Tim and Kjartan will do their magic on it when they get some time free. Release for sale has been delayed till January 2023. I will start with 2 songs, then 2 songs each month after that.
And here is credits and lyrics for `You cannot lose`
