Cat Walk 2 23.07.2015 1:35

I made this tune after hearing my young cat run over the piano keyboard. Animal inspiration... This song was also on my album of 23 years ago, but I wanted to redo it with a better sounding piano than I had then.

AveMaria - Rauset version 11.06.2015 3:30

A made this version of Ave Maria when my mother died. She had heard me work on it and wanted me to play it in her funeral, which I did after a nigh's work to finish it. Audun Reithaug plays the upright bass, Amund Bjønness the guitar, and I do the violin and keyboards. It's based on Schubert's Ave Maria but with my own melody in the first verse.
