Hello, I’m Orvar

I started on saxophone at twelve in a school band in Gothenburg, and found the first synth in a friend's basement a few years later. Most of my records come from the same small room, with a tape machine, a window onto the harbour and a lot of rain.

I write the music as lead sheets before I record it, which is why they can be sold: a plain page of melody and chords that anyone with a horn or a keyboard can play slowly.
