Next album carbon-neutral

My next album "Signestølen" will be carbon-neutral. How? Well, I took the train from Drammen to Ål. Walked in to the cabin with the guitar on my back, recorded directly to digital stereo powered on solar-energy, and took the train back. And the release will be digital-only, with the possibility of downloading the songs in wav and the cover from my own wav-shop.

Something to think about for U2 and Springsteen? not to mention the idea of them going carbon-neutral on tour? What about including a carbon-tax in the tickets? How much carbon do you burn of on a world tour with the world`s biggest stage-rig??

Pianokrakk on Spotify

My latest EP Pianokrakk now available on Spotify.

Queing with Lionel Richie

A funny thing happened as we were queing up for security check at London Heathrow yesterday. I looked at the man in front of me, as he was picking his stuff up from the scanner, and I thought: is he a lookalike or is that actually Lionel Richie?

You wouldn`t normally expect celebrities to mingle with normal people, but as people and security guards started taking pictures with their mobile-phones and lined up for autographs I realized that it was the man himself. Maybe it`s because I´m a musician, or maybe it`s because I´m a norwegian,..I just cant manage to gear myself up into "look it`s a celebrity"-modus. So me and my wife kept on trying to get the shoes back on our three-year-old, and didn`t really have much time to pay much notice. But he seemed like a great guy, signing away and posing together with fans, and he is non-arguably a great songwriter.

Would have been fun to have had a picture of the whole thing though.

London

Enjoying a cold guinness off oxford street. Amazingly quiet in this pub and not a japanese in sight. Stress hormones disappears with each sip. Only two shops worth visiting: Apple store and Boots. And of course the lovely guitar shops in denmark street. Cheers

From mp3 to wav

My webshop now contains the original wav-versions of my songs, instead of as earlier just mp3. So if you want good sound, visit www.felixjohansen.com. Mp3-versions are still available at places like iTunes and Platekompaniet.no. The prices are the same. I prefer selling the songs as wav, because I want the listener to enjoy as good sound quality as possible. Felix
