Hi

My name is Rasmus Storgaard. I'm 28 years old and have lived my entire life in Copenhagen, Denmark. Since I was a little kid I have always been facinated by the piano even though I couldn't play it. In my early teens my parents gave me an electric keyboard with about 48 keys with no weighted hammer action. I spend many hours on this keyboard learning many single handed cover music only by ear, because I didn't knew how to read sheet music back then. In my late teens I stopped playing the keyboard probably because I thought it was too silly to play at. I wanted to play on a real piano not a cheap 4 polyphonic keyboard with a bad sound. Neither my parents or I could afford a piano so I gave up that idea completely.

Years later I left home (got a dorm) and began studying at the University of Copenhagen. Even though my life was great, I still had this tiny feeling of something were missing in my life. Even though it might seems very obvious what the "cure" was, it wasn't really that obvious to me. But when it did, I realized, that there were other options than purchase a real expensive piano. A full size electric piano with weighted hammer keys was the solution for me and something I could afford. All my friends and family said I was crazy for buying an 2000$ expensive toy that I couldn't even play at. But it was THE best investment I ever made and I have now played on it for three and a half years and never had a single piano lesson. I can read sheet music but is still very poor at it. My lack of interest in learning sheet music have driven me into composing my own music, which in my mind is much funnier than learning others.

The year 2011 have been a huge adventure for me so far, since I have made a my first music album 'Recolored' in only a few months.

1. 'Another World' 5.04
2. 'Mechanical Time' 4.47
3. 'Forever And Always' 4.10
4. 'Sunset' 4.16
5. 'A Bright Moon in My Endless Nights' 4.55

Hi Rasmus.

Your story is VERY similar to mine. Grew up near Copenhagen. Played my fathers piano for a bit. Never learned to read sheet music. Left the piano for nearly 20 years. Last year I picked it up again. I bought a MIDI keyboard and a mac with Logic. Today I am composing music, in the same area as yours, and I am working on an album. Small world indead... :)
