Hello, and welcome to my website!
Summer is coming, and the next concert is in August. I'm still working though! It's time to practice slides and grooves, write applications and reports, and prepare for the fall season. I also need some time to just digest all the events that happened this spring. Many of my big goals were realised, and I am still a bit flabbergasted about everything that went down. Most exciting happenings were that Tap Noir played (three times!) in Dansens Hus, that I got to share the stage with vocalist Juliana Venter at Jazzprisen, and that the new project Soft Ice had its first rehearsal stretch. What a dream! And next to that, there have been some really fun concerts with the electronic duo Øy, and a couple of great ensemble improvisation performances with the Salong. Dancing the 100 Passions with SWDC wasn't bad either! |

JANNE'S RECORD SHOP
Three of my tap dance projects have resulted in recordings that you can buy from me directly, on bandcamp, or in the record shops Big Dipper and Tiger here in Oslo. All the music is also on all the streaming platforms.
Gol Variations - CD
by One Small Step, released by Clean Feed in 2022
"This is music that is perfect for a stage. "Gol Variations" moves some rocks in the open landscape, and even if One Small Step isn't "one giant leap for mankind" I would declare the album a little moon landing in itself. " Arild R. Andersen, Jazzinorge.no
Movements for Listening - double vinyl
by Janne Eraker + 11 musicians, released by Esc.Rec in 2023
"From pretty straightforward jazz guitar stylings to radical explorations of timbre and texture, Eraker and Co manage to blow to pieces the image one might hold of tap dance and jazz or improvised music, for that matter. In doing so, they provide a record of highly engaging musical interest far beyond expectations or conventions." Vital Weekly
LIVE - vinyl
by Øy, released by Heart Baby in 2024
"There’s a quicksilvery edge to these works, an uncanny slippery shiny surface, beckoning the listener to come close and investigate, only to slither out of focus into a foggy darkness, rumbling and rustling from nooks and crannies in the upper top most regions of forward pushing electronic music." Vital Weekly
