Get Bent

Danish born singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, philosopher, story teller, humorist, revereand, writer & producer.

 

From Bent: From what I understand, millions have heard my music and would never know it – first on records, radio and TV in Denmark, Germany and Holland, then TV series in America like “Beverly Hills 90210” & “Sesame Street”, and films like Burt Reynold’s “Hooper” or “Presumed Innocent”.

I’m glad to say that after living an already long life and living, recording and performing  in many countries, my hands have never been better and my voice is still tolerable.  It is great to record, but to me, real music is when it happens live – that is when the healing magic takes place. 

 

What is music? (click here)

Music has lived with humans perhaps even before we could use language – why?
Until 80 years ago or so, music was always live.  It took musicians to make music and listeners to listen. It wasn’t just the sound that made music magical, it was the fact that those playing and listening shared a connection that was felt. It was a connection where a spirit could be felt in addition to everyone present – we called it the “Muse”.  Today we hear music everywhere, at home, in supermarkets, gas stations, elevators – It can be comforting or adding to an environment, but but it is not true music, it is the sound of music.  Music is when it is played and received in the same moment.
