My admiration for this man knows no bounds...he’s Magne Furuholmen, the keyboardist with Norwegian band a-ha, and has jointly with Pal Waaktaar written most of their impressive catalogue of music over the past 40 years...composing the famous riff for Take On Me in his grandfather’s shed when he was only 15! He is also an internationally renowned conceptual artist and sculptor with his work exhibited and on display all around the world, and on top of that he has his own career as a singer/songwriter running parallel to his career with a-ha. Here he works on his art in his studio in Oslo and the song is Watch This Space from his 2008 album “A Dot of Black In The Blue Of Your Bliss”.
