Music is my thing! Not in an apparent way. I'm not the person who would start speaking for groups and details and the rest... No, definitely not and let's blame for this my short memory, but music is very important in a very blended way in my everyday life.
Simply say that most of my memories have a soundtrack! ;D
Unfortunately, I was very lazy to study music properly but I cannot live without it! I have a natural craving of listening to new groups, kinds and experience music in its full! The first thing I always do when I return home is to put some music. I love Spotify exactly because it feeds this need! You do a random search and boom! so many miracles, so many different songs, artists, styles! I can spend hours and hours just checking songs and names!
Nothing compares though with concerts!!! Oh God! All this energy, all this emotion! Amazing!
Before coming here the only norwegian group I knew was Madrugada and Tom Waits (his origin is norwegian but I doubt that anyone else would consider his music as norwegian). Well, Madrugada is a very special case! They are extremely popular in Greece. So no surprise that my first concert here was theirs in Studentersamfundet back in 2008.
After my comeback to my wonderland I was introduced to the music of Susanne Sundfør, this introvert girl with the sensitive voice soon became my favourite. Then Benhorf, Ida Jenshus, Postgirobygget (yes, in solskinnsdag ;P), Vamp, Age Aleksandersen, The Kids and yes, I was off to explore norwegian music! Well I suppose it is very proper to have a local soundtrack for the memories of a place!
Rockheim in a very interactive way filled me with more information than I could get but thank God there is always their website. One can find there an extended database of the past generations of norwegian music in general and not only rock. Trondheim Calling, which took place the last two days, gave me excellent material for the newcomer artists from the area I live! Hoist, I Love Wynona and Blood On Wheels are worth be mentioned here!!!
My next stops in this music trip is Razika and Kaizer's Orchestra concerts in February! Gleder meg!!! : D : D
