We have been working on a short video to promote the Lysgaard/Beatlite project, since it’s such a visual concept, and hard to convey through the traditional mixtapes and so on. Jonas Bødtker is doing the filming, while Jørgen Håland is whipping out his motion graphic skills. Here are some stills from the shoot!
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, see this post on the BeatLite, which covers the technology part of it. The rest of the explanation is just what the video will be for!
EDIT: The film is done, see it over here!

The interview with myself together with Kasper & Emilio (in Norwegian, I’m afraid) is in today’s newspaper! We were talking about our new Fanzine, journalism and clubbing in general.
If you would like to read it, you can see it a lot bigger at flickr.

The Nabovarsel Magazine/Zine can now be purchased from my web store.
For any new listeners, you can read all about the magazine in my earlier blog post.
We are still waiting for the physical memory sticks that they will be sold on later, but for now you can just as easily (and at a better price) get the fully digital version if you like. All the text is in Norwegian, but there’s lots of nice pictures too.
Happy days! Feels great to be kinda almost finished-ish!

The Nabovarsel magazine we are making has been getting a bit of attention in the press lately, and I’m only too happy to share…
For the new listeners: The nabovarsel magazine is a digital “zine”, which yours truly have been responsible for designing. We are in the process of releasing it to the public right now, and everybody is really excited.
The first interview we had was with Studvest, You can read it in its entirety right here:
Til Bladhyllene!
Then we had a nice chat with Natt&Dag’s Håvard Nyhus, read it here:
Edith PDF: Nabovarsel lanserer fanzine
Then Birgitte Mandelid from FAN Fanzine had a talk, and since they don’t work on the internets, you can read my pretty scan of the pages instead:
More interviews coming up as they appear in the wild!

Today is the day the first edition of the Nabovarsel magazine is released!
We have been working on this thing for about five months now. The bulk of the magazine is made up of some brilliant articles and photos, cooked up by the most brilliant young minds in Bergen, nothing less. Headlining is the biggest, baddest city guide to Berlin you have ever seen, covering ten years of club culture.
We also have gotten rather huge amount of DJs from the whole country to chip in and name their top 10 tracks between 2000 and 2009. Some safe cuts, some suprising ones, lots of great music. Just over fifty pages, it’s a pretty solid piece of work, if I may say so.
If you are unaware of the existence of Nabovarsel, it is a music and culture collective based in Bergen, hosting parties and various other events, managing several artists and bands, and we even have a podcast, featuring mainly mixtapes from Norway’s best DJs. Branching out, we figured it would be great fun to make a magazine, too.
My role in this project has been in the design department of course, being head designer on the whole rag. Keep reading for some design jibberjabber!
