African Party I have finally found some time to work on my music and it is now time for a party. This is the 2nd time I have been inspired by the South African Kwela style. The song is a fast tempo jazzy swinging happy piece. Enjoy	15 May 2016	World
Forever It has been a long time since I had time for my music. I have been working on this song since New Year but only a few hours per week. I love a good jazz waltz. I like the swing and how it moves in its 6/8 measure. I wrote a little simple text for it and sing it myself with my tiny little voice. The song is built on some strange chords I was experimenting with. Bb7Sus4, Eb7Sus4, Fm6, F7, Fm7b5, and Bb7. And strange chords gives new inspiration for the melody. Enjoy	28 Feb 2016	Jazz
The Mountaineer The Mountaineer. The seeker of the ultimate goals. The adventurer. The nature. The challenge. This song is dedicated to my friend and former colleague Jan Mathorne. It starts slow with a very Nordic sound and then speeds up into a pop piece with synth arps, guitars, and voices. And with this I wish you all a Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays. Enjoy Kenneth	25 Dec 2015	Pop
Paris I will let the music speak. I also dedicate this music to the memory of Bjarne Lavrsen	15 Nov 2015	Pop
Stomp The Old Boots This music should make you stomp a foot to the beat. You may also want to clap a fast 1-2-3. Slow moving, hard 4 to the floor folky piece of music with a mix of traditional instruments and synth. And a simple piece with only two chords but a lot of small melody lines. One, two, three - come and stomp with me. One of the hardest things when uploading music is to find a name for the song and an image to match. I first decided the name of the song and started searching for images with "old boots". And then some variations. I finally found these boots. Not very old boots. In fact very new boots in a very good shape. But they sure are beautiful boots and I am sure they can stomp to this music. Enjoy	18 Oct 2015	Folk
I Would Do Anything Anything, I Would Do Anything For A Touch Of your Love And A Place Of Your Heart That is how far I got with lyrics for this one The photo is Diane and I, 18 years ago, our wedding. Mmm. Sweet memories	11 Oct 2015	Pop
Space Dreams Space Dreams Music inspired by following the Danish ESA astronaut travel to the International Space Station and back again. Andreas Mogensen is the first Dane in space so there was a lot of news coverage about him. It has been amazing to hear how he has been dreaming about travel in space all his life and the many years of training it has taken to reach his goal. It was also fun to hear him talk to his mother from the space station, and her last remark was "remember to call when you have landed safely". The music genre must be a kind of Space Latin. I am very busy at the moment helping the open source software project Foswiki getting a new release stable so I have not had too much time making or listening to music. I will take this weekend to catch up on some listening.	19 Sep 2015	Latin
Romantic Vibes I was working on a dance type of synth piece when this modulating chord progression suddenly "showed up" and the very latin sounding melody appeared. So here is a latin inspired piece in combination with some 4 on the floor drum and bass beats. It has sun and beach and long drinks written all over it so it was natural to call it Romantic Vibes.	27 Jul 2015	Latin
Memory Of A Festival The last 10 days has been the time of the Copenhagen Jazz Festival. I have very nice fresh memories from this. This piece of music is a tribute to all the fine musicians that makes this event something very special. A fusion of jazz, latin, and prog rock. Remixed August 2018	13 Jul 2015	Jazz
Neon Lights It does not happen often that I post a cover version of a song but here is one of the rare exceptions. Neon Lights - by the German group Kraftwerk - from their great album The Man Machine. Today the original sounds lame and boring and far too long but this music really influenced the whole electronic dance music scene as we know it today. And Kraftwerk actually managed to write some really good songs with melodies that stays in your ear like a worm. And Neon Lights is one of those songs. I have created a my own interpretation of it. I have kept the melody and basic structure but I have changed the groove with drums and bass that gets the groove moving much more. I have changed the chords a little bit. I have added extra notes to the melodies to create more variation. And the long ending has been made short. And no singing, sorry I hope you will enjoy it.	19 Apr 2015	Electronica
Stomping Polka Inspired by the Country Stomp by sprkymrt I decided to try to make a similar piece of music. Well, as always creative process combined by limited skills makes a very diferent result. In this case it sounds more like a folky polka song. So here is my Stomping Polka in a Country Folk type of mix. I love to play with different genres and I hope I did not mess this one up too much	12 Apr 2015	Folk
Spring JCLeonard posted a beautiful track a couple of weeks ago for open collab. A classical style piece with a lovely simple progression and nice harmonies and decorations by a piano and bells. When I heard it, a melody started forming in my head and I knew I had to record it. So here it is. A slow elegant piece that describes the wonderful spring that we are in the middle of. My favourite time of the year. Chord Progression and string/piano harmonies composed and played by JCLeonard. Melody - played by acoustic and electric guitars, voices, glasses, plucked piano, and harp - is composed and played by Kenneth Lavrsen	02 Apr 2015	Classical
Solar Eclipse A total solar eclipse is fascinating and beautiful. I was watching the one we had here in March 2015 live on TV. Both from the Faroe Islands and from Svalbard. This naturally inspired a piece of music. Enjoy.	27 Mar 2015	Pop
Glimpse Of A Time (Cover) It is not often that I post a cover but here is an exception I heard this song the first time last Friday sung by a 15 year old girl in the Danish X-factor and I was hypnotised by the beauty of it. Right after I found the original and it is even more beautiful. The song Glimpse Of A Time comes from an Danish artist "Broken Twin". Behind is very talented young woman Majke Voss Romme (woman on the picture). She writes beautiful songs and sings them so well while playing guitar or piano. Her debut album "May" was released last year and I highly recommend it. I have created this instrumental cover because I just had to. I tried to keep the arrangement simple like the original but I let the melody being played by 4 woodwind instruments: Clarinet, English horn, French oboe, and flute and developed it a tiny little bit. But what I would really wish for is that a singer picks it up and sings it. Here are some links to Youtube videos with the song in different versions * Youtube video live on Danish TV http://youtu.be/2Ho0-VE2o4I * Youtube video official video http://youtu.be/sg8gs88W51o * Youtube video X-factor (DR) Emilie Esther http://youtu.be/IoV2qxESZPs (Note that this version is shortened and does not contain several lines of lyrics) The song is (C) 2014 Antirecords and Majke Voss Romme (I hope this cover can elevate a little interest for her debut album)	13 Mar 2015	Pop
My Mind Is Free "If my body is enslaved, still my mind is free" - Sophocles Enjoy!	01 Mar 2015	Pop
The White Lady Sings The Hindsgavl Castle, Denmark, has its own ghost roaming the grounds. She is called The White Lady and bears a tragic story. On the day of her wedding, the coach carrying her to Hindsgavl crashed into a pond, and she got stuck in the coach and drowned. Now she is looking for her husband mainly in the park at midnight, but she has been spotted a few places around the castle as well. She only approaches men, as she seeks for her husband, and people say she disappears with a sigh, when she discovers none of them are her husband. It is also said that the ring for her finger is still somewhere around the castle. My wife and I celebrated Christmas 2014 at Hindsgavl Castle and late night on Christmas evening I chatted with Stan Loh and told him the story about the ghost. And his reaction was "I think we have a new project". Few days later he sent me this fantastic song. I added some musical details including the long opera/choral middle part and added other bits and pieces. Stan contacted Steve Hales and asked him if he would sing the song. Steve took the challenge and started working hard on it. And here 6 weeks later the result is here. I think his vocal work is fantastic. On behalf of Steve, Stan, and myself - I wish you a pleasant listen Vocal: Steve Hales All instruments and mix/master: Kenneth Lavrsen Music: Stan Loh and Kenneth Lavrsen Lyrics: Stan Loh	15 Feb 2015	Pop
Dance Dance Dance When I was "young and beautiful" (now I am only "and") disco was the hot thing. So a naive and fun disco piece for you to dance to.	19 Jan 2015	Pop

Upbeat Song For Diane When Diane and I was driving home from our mini Christmas vacation we were listening to one of my old upbeat songs in the car. Diane said: "You should make some more upbeat songs". So here is an upbeat song for Diane. The image is taken in Tivoli when they did their beautiful fireworks. And with that I wish you all a happy 2015.	29 Dec 2014	Pop
Robins In Love For the first time I am introducing my little sister Djinnie Rasmussen. Djinnie asked me if I would create the backing music of a 1987 Danish hit called Vårvise (spring song). The song was originally a duet between the composer Sebastian and Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø. Djinnie wanted to record the song and give it to her husband Jørgen as a Christmas present. Naturally I could not resist such a romantic gesture and I accepted right away. When I had done the backing I asked Stan Loh if he would write English lyrics for the song, and he accepted. And I am very thankful for that because the result is really good. So here is the result: Robins In Love. Maybe I will also post the Danish version if encouraged to. Vocal: Djinnie Rasmussen All instruments and mix: Kenneth Lavrsen Music: Sebastian (1987) Lyrics: Stan Loh (2014) Photo: My sister Djinnie Merry Christmas, Jørgen. Hope you like your present. And Merry Christmas to all in iComp.	23 Dec 2014	Pop
Area 51 There is an Area 51 in most homes in which a married couple lives. A room, a space where the man can be himself. The place where only his idea of order and aesthetics rules. The only place where She Who Must Be Obeyed has no business and no saying. Female spoken words: Diane Chayer (She Who Must Be Obeyed) Male spoken words and all music: Kenneth Lavrsen (Area 51 installation commander)	23 Nov 2014	Pop
Empty Spaces Empty Spaces. The empty chairs that are left behind when people were laid off. People that are greatly missed. This describes the feelings of us that were left behind. A classical piece for full classical orchestra. It took 3 weeks and 20 tracks to complete this piece of music. I hope you all like it.	02 Nov 2014	Classical
Don't Look Back Last week I had to say goodbye to 7 fine employees because of a decision taken by top managers that don't even know me or my people. My last two songs were very much reflections over this situation but I could not write it in a public place so I had to give them different stories. But if you go back and listen again you will know what they are about. Heavy Thoughts - HeavyThoughts Beyond All Logical Thinking This new song is about the future. Soon these 7 of the very best will be in new careers. So boys - Don't Look Back. I lost 7 employees. But I gained 7 friends. And that will turn out to be even more valuable I am sure. So this new song is a happy song.	13 Oct 2014	Pop
Beyond All Logical Thinking There are so many things going on in this world at the moment where the reasoning behind is Beyond All Logical Thinking. This music is inspired by me seeing and reading what is going on. And also things that are going on in my near every day. And yet - in the middle of all this - we humans never give up having hope that things will get better. Music is mostly synth sounds. It starts quiet. Then the beat takes over and a melody made over some untraditional chords and scales. Then the piece goes quiet again and expresses what goes on inside all these people. And inside of me. Enjoy.	28 Sep 2014	Inspirational
Heavy Thoughts Heavy Thoughts. Something we all have from time to time. When things in life turns for the worse, when we miss someone, when a friend or family member gets ill, when love breaks, when jobs are lost. But we all normally get through it because we know that things get better, that not all is sad, and that time heals. This music is an expression of the heavy thoughts. The fear. The uncertainty. But in the dark waves is the hope and confidence and support from others expressed by the melody lines at the end played by the bright instruments. Music style is soft rock ballad. I hope you enjoy the music. Soon the sun comes out and warms the little bird on the picture.	18 Aug 2014	Rock
Hot Summer Rock It is warm. It is summer. It is time for some Hot Summer Rock Music is a moderately paced, 4 to the floor, synth rock piece. Get a cool beer from the fridge, turn the volume up, and rock that foot.	29 Jul 2014	Rock
The Land Of The Fjords We have been planning our next vacation. This time the destination will be "The Land Of The Fjords". We are going a little north this time to our neighbours Norway. After a day in Oslo we will drive to the western part which is endless beautiful landscapes of mountains and fjords. The planning and all the beautiful pictures inspired this piece of music. The music is a slow waltzing piece with both acoustic and electric instruments. Pop music but with a little folk inspiration in the melody lines. Enjoy.	20 Jul 2014	Pop
Jenni Goes Out To Dance My dear aunt Jenni inspired this piece of music when she visited us for 3 weeks this summer. Jenni - the sister of my father - went to Vancouver, Canada when she was a young woman to work for a year or two. She met this wonderful man and stayed. I was working on this jazz piece, and when she heard it, she said it reminded her of when she went out dancing as a young girl. So that became the title. The music is a latin jazz piece with a smooth sax and soft horns. I can imagine myself sitting with my sweet wife in a restaurant with this music playing, telling her how beautiful her eyes are as they reflect the candlelight.	12 Jul 2014	Pop
March Of The Crabs March Of The Crabs. The famous event on Christmas Island where millions of red crabs migrate to the ocean and roads are closed. A rock and roll piece. Lovely to be back making music. I have had family visiting the past 3 weeks so it has been impossible to find time to make and listen to music.	05 Jul 2014	Pop
Constitution Day June the 5th 1849 was the day that Denmark went from having a king with absolute power to being the constitutional monarchy we are today. The constitution has been changed several times since. Latest in 1953. The politicians always made sure that the new constitutions were signed on June the 5th to maintain that date as constitution day. This piece of music is a classical piece that celebrates this important law which is the foundation of our democracy and our human rights. The music is for a full classical orchestra and one tiny synth. It starts in A minor, modulates to C major and back to A minor. It ends in full steam in E major. It has some Nordic melodic influence in the minor key parts and the major key parts play a melody that expresses celebration. Enjoy	05 Jun 2014	Classical
