Lyrics

BIO, Haavard Sveaas

I´m a 27 year-old Norwegian living in a town called Aalesund on the west coast of Norway.

1999-2003 I studied church music at the music conservatory of Trondheim, where my main subjects (in addition to playing the pipe organ) were composition and classical/jazz improvisation.

Since July 2004 I work as an organist in the church of Volsdalen, Aalesund. In addition I´m a freelance keyboardist/pianist/organist and have my own pop band called Connected.

I write, arrange and produce music in various styles and genres for various ensembles. I´ve co-written/arranged music for The Opera of Kristiansund, Norway, and for several of Norway´s leading artists and ensembles.

When producing music I use Logic Pro 7, East West Symphony Orchestra Gold Edition and a number of VST/AU plug-ins. For sheet music I use Finale music notation software, and I´m able to deliver well-sounding tracks and/or sheet music in a short amount of time. Needless to say, I also read sheet music well, so that producing music written by others is no problem using the East West libraries etc. If needed, I also direct both a children´s choir and an adult choir (mixed voices), suitable for soundtracks that need choir parts as well. Last, but not least, I play keyboards/organ and have access to several good pipe organs and a top-class Steinway B grand piano for recording purposes.
