Norwegian artist Christian Welde – cinematic music
That is the title of the Spotify playlist where I am featured together with lots of other great composers and artists. Thanks to Michael Schubert for putting this list together.
Music and soundscapes of a futuristic and bleak megacity, inspired by BLADE RUNNER. – Dark clouds | industrial towers | neon lights | police cruisers | huge billboards | replicants | crime.

The industry standard master format, the DAT-tape is no longer in use. I still have lots of ideas and sketches in this format, so I will spend the weekend and the following days to transfer these to the computer as audio files.
Hopefully some forgotten gems might turn into full production in the future. It is always fun to listen to ones old ideas, some as far as back as 1993. Some of these files are already on albums like Fairytales..
Tech nerd alert:
The optical ins of the Edirol UA-25 audio card captures the digital audio from the Sony 57 ES DAT player, kindly borrowed to me by Vegar Pedersen. Some trial and error with cables and sample rates and we are in motion!
In 2015 Pink Floyd backing singer Durga McBroom was featured as singer on two tracks on my Illuminate album. The title single and the song When Night Falls.
Looking for something new to put on? Check out the When Echoes Fade merch here.
With radio airplay and chart placement of “When Echoes Fade” last winter, release of the single “Aerial” in May, and re-recording of “Darling Blue” with Geir Halleland in August, the conclusion is that last year also had some musical highlights. Suddenly there will be some releases in 2021 too! Happy New Year!
Christian Welde komponerer musikk hjemme i Kopervik og spiller selv alt av keyboards. Når han skal hente inn stemmer og andre instrumenter, bruker han folk i Nashville, Los Angeles, New York og Asker.
Ambient tones is a playlist by LightJourneyMusic.com featuring artists like David Helping, Brian Eno and Biosphere. I am happy to be a part of this great company.
They may not be Christmas songs, but a few of my tracks have a Christmas or December mood to them.
Starting with two tracks from the Fairytales album, The Colour of December and Dreams of Christmas.
Then, in 2006, the single December Song was released. It featured Alice Hellevik Solum on vocals and Roger Pedersen on guitar.
Watch the premiere for the Aerial music video at 6 PM Sunday October 4th.
One of Christians “old” songs, Darling Blue, was recently re-recorded by Norwegian artist Geir Halleland. Halleland also recorded the song back in 1992.
Listen to the song here.
