Svein Hyttebakk

I'm Svein Hyttebakk, a composer, musician, producer, guitar player 
and multi-instrumentalist based on the West Coast of Norway. 
I write guitar music, on both acoustic and electric guitar. 

I also write, record and tour with my Norwegian band elle melle (check us out here)

I have always loved film scores, and under the artist name 
«The House on the Island» (click title for Spotify)
I write music for my own underwater films, but also imaginary movies that only exists in my mind.
These soundtracks are perfect for meditation, calmness and dreaming about underwater landscapes. 

This artist name is inspired by the fact that I live and write music on a small Island, and my "House on the Island" pieces blends ambient electronic textures with natural acoustic elements, drawing inspiration from the depths of the ocean and the stillness of Norwegian fjords. 

As a listener, you are transported to hidden realms and offered a glimpse into peaceful underwater sceneries.

All the beautiful underwater images is a result of a collaboration with my longtime friend 
and master photographer Aleksander Nordahl, you can explore his art here: ettpust.com
