CV Jørgensen

Carsten Valentin (CV) Jørgensen (born 9th of May 1950, in Lyngby) is a Danish singer and songwriter. Between The name Valentine is not lawfully recognized in Denmark.

C.V. Jørgensen has a creative style with numerous metaphors who lifted him level from pop singer to poet who enjoys recognition among writers and poets. The keynote of his texts are a melancholy fervor that often borders on direct alarmism, biting social satire or short fables about human destinies.

C.V. Jørgensen got the two album releases in relative obscurity his breakthrough with the folk rock LP: Storbyens små oaser (1977), where his satirical texts are about Danish allotment idyll and the academic intelligentsia.

The style was continued throughout the 1980s, when Jorgensen's texts were clear opposition to the yuppie and bourgeois political domination. In 1980 he recorded the album Tidens Tern together with the US-Danish guitarist Billy Cross' Delta Cross Band. Although the album's song Costa del Sol that is a satire of rich Danish retired flight to tax havens at the Spanish coast. Cross and Jorgensen, shortly after they finished it, break up their collaboration.

In January 2006, Tidens Tern was selected to be part of the Culture Ministry's cultural canon in category of popular music.

In the 1990s C.V. Jørgensen shifted to a radical style of the album Sjælland (1994), which mixed pop sound with floating, free jazz-inspired brass. The musical focus was moved from a standard rock format to a more free style with an emphasis on atmosphere. Texts shifted from the wordy, narrative style to tight feeling images. A style that he continued eight years later in his album Fraklip fra det fjerne(2002).

C.V. Jørgensen has in his career worked with a number of Danish rock music profiles, including Ivan Horn, Tim Christensen, Aske Jacoby, Sanne Salomonsen, Gert Smedegaard, Niels Henriksen. In late summer 2009 turned CV Jørgensen for the first time in seven years back to the stage, with three concerts in Århus Festival.

Carpark North is a band formed in Aarhus, Denmark on 28 July 1999 by Lau Højen (vocal, guitar), Søren Balsner (bass, synthesisers) and Morten Thorhauge (drums). The band set out to create music that would contain their sources of inspiration: Björk, Police, Vangelis, Depeche Mode, Eggstone, Mozart, Kraftwerk and The Beatles.

Carpark North was the first in Denmark to present the genre electro rock for a mainstream audience.

The name Carpark North was created from the electro and rock genres: "Carpark" stands for car parks, edges, roughness, metal - the rock part, and "North" stands for northern lights, stars ethereal electronics.

The foundation for Carpark North is laid on Mellerup Efterskole, where Søren Balsner and Lau Højen meet and formed a band. This band played in the national championship in rock in 1997.

Søren and Lau split up after Mellerup, and Lau started his education at high school - Aarhus Katedralskole. Here he joins a band - "Spacekraft" and met Morten Thorhauge a young drummer from Søften. After a couple of months Lau and Morten formed their own band, and contacted Søren.

The first notes in Carpark North were played on a hot summer day in July 1999 in the MGK-facilities in Aarhus, Denmark.

If you ever played the video game called FIFA 08 (2007) probably you already heared the song "Human" and maybe you ask yourselves who's the band which sings it. Well... that's Carpark North.

Aarhus, Denmark

Aarhus also commonly known by its contemporary Danish spelling Århus, is the second largest city and the principal port of Denmark, situated on the peninsula of Jutland. Aarhus is the seat of the council of Aarhus municipality and claims the unofficial title "Capital of Jutland".

The city lies roughly at the geographical centre of Denmark on the peninsula of Jutland. Forests reach from the south into the city to within a kilometre of the city centre, because the city has grown around the forest, and some areas are completely surrounded by the city, such as Risskov. The city is built mostly around the harbour, which is predominantly industrial, although a large recreational marina is situated south of it as an extension.While some of the highest points in Denmark are close to the city, the general landscape is typically hilly, interspersed with forests and meadows; the city itself is very hilly north of the centre.

The coastline consists mainly of sandy beaches, but stony areas are not uncommon. The immediate coastal regions are not heavily populated due to a national policy of keeping residences inland rather than crowding the coast.

The city lies at the junction of railway lines from all parts of the country. To the south west lies a picturesque region that contains the Gudenå. Several larger lakes extend West from the Skanderborg railway junction and rise to heights exceeding 152 metres in the Himmelbjerget. The railway traverses this pleasant district of moorland and woodland to Silkeborg.
