The Norwegian-born composer and recording artist felt the pull of music so strongly that he abandoned a very successful career as an international executive to pursue his true passion ... Music.   Trond is a uniquely gifted person with a broad range of interests and notable accomplishments. He has climbed East Africa's Mt. Kilimanjaro, earned a Ph.D.  at MIT, built and flown his own hang glider, and composed music aboard his studio-equipped yacht in the West Indies. Today, his sole focus is "To write and produce music that will have a major, positive and lasting impact."

Trond is classically trained at the piano and has played a variety of instruments in different jazz groups, bands and orchestras. As he moved around the world, he lived in six countries on three continents. This broad personal experience and musical exposure come together to develop the wide variety of styles and moods in which he so convincingly expresses himself. These include New Age, Classical, Smooth Jazz, Pop, Jazz, Easy Listening and Latin music.

Perhaps because of the strong visual content of his inspiration, Trond has a unique gift for writing music that is "vivid and highly evocative".  This gets put to good use in Trond's scoring for visual media, because his music then works to amplify the visual message.

Trond's CDs, Journey to the Heart released in 1998 and Gifts from the Ocean released in 2002, received very positive reviews.  Instrumental, and containing styles ranging from new age to smooth jazz, both collections are unanimously reported to deliver a very satisfying listening - and sensory - experience.
