The year started out with recording and mixing the sound for the first #tjuvstart video at the Flekkefjord kultursenter.
The culture center opens this coming fall, and we are a group of volunteers that have created a series of videos to promote the coming center and to raise money in the process. so far 10 videos have been released I have recorded and mixed the sound on Ingrid Frøsland, Frisk Bris, Playboys, Bente Torgersen, Thale Log Skage and Myrulls videos. you can watch them all here.
