Else worked as a volunteer at a Oslo Synthfestival arrangement (Musikkfest Oslo) summer 2005 and in autumn 2005 she became a member of the board as our financial manager. And she has also become a very close friend to me.

Else is a very dedicated music lover. And the music she loves the most is synth. In addition to being on the OSF board she is the manager of Oslo synthpop band "In Vein", she works freelance for with graphics for broadcast with major television productions on her hands AND she's a student doing her Master's Degree in Aestetic and Media studies with the title "Norwegian Synth Music Abroad - why are they successful abroad and not at home?".

Still she manages to take some time off and go out and enjoy music, dancing and a couple of beers. And this summer...she's coming along to Roskilde for the first time. This will not be our first musical trip together - as Else was the Norwegian winner for a trip to New York for 2 with flight, hotel and tickets to see Depeche Mode's opening concert at the Bowery Ballroom - and brought me!


Best festival memory:

Since she hasn't been to Roskilde yet Else wants to share this:

"My best festival memory is definately when Dave Gahan (singer in Depeche Mode) pointed right at me at the Norwegian Wood Festival concert in 2003..*sigh*.

The Kraftwerk concert at Rockefeller in 1991 is also a great memory, simply because they were so funny.

And last, but not least, a memory from London in 1988 when I saw David Sylvian 3 times! That was awesome!"
