About Me

Karsten Hamre

I was born on the 3rd of December 1971 in Stavanger, Norway. During my studies in Form & Text, mainly dealing with photography, journalism, graphic design and other multi media related subjects, I soon found my love and adoration for photography. I find inspiration in most of the things that life has to offer, or which I stumble upon.

I like to think of myself as a multi-artist. It takes less time to explain sometimes since I am involved in so many different forms of art. Beside music, photography, and poetry I am also a writer/journalist (occasionally doing work on a freelance basis for various magazines and newspapers), as well as I have a few times been the producer on some short film projects. For me personally it has become important to not limit oneself to one form of art, rather work with several different ones individually or combined. There are so many ideas in my head that needs to be expressed, and not all of them can be described or expressed with music alone, that’s why short films accompanied by music is a very interesting medium. It lets you explore new grounds and ways of expressing art.
