Kashmir – I discovered them as we had the same booking agent in Denmark. That requires time and a lot of work, so we have a 5 year plan for the project.Ĭan you tell us about some of the tracks that you’ve selected for your playlist today, why you selected them, what you like about them? We do want to make it as good as it can be and bring something new to the musical scene. It’s way too early, unfortunately… When we thought of making a musical, we decided to use a lot of time to develop this. We’re very excited to hear about the musical that you’re composing with Geir – can you tell us anything more about that? I am happy that I have so much time to compose new music at the moment. I am basically doing the same as before, except going on tour. I have been writing songs for others and produced an album for another artist.

I have worked on some film-music and music for the theatre. I have been busy with a lot of different projects. So what have you been working on in the time since taking the live show off the road and now? I tend to think more about what I am doing now and what is in the near future and am excited about that. I am sure that later in life, I will look back on the tour of 2013, but now it hasn’t even been one year. Too early to talk about it, unfortunately. It’s been almost a year since Kaizers Orchestra completed your farewell tour – can you tell us about your memories of that tour, and some of the highlights? From that I discovered the Norwegian band Seigmen. Of course I had no influence from Norwegian music there, so he sent a tape with Norwegian artists on it. I remember Geir in Kaizers made one for me when I lived in France. That doesn’t meant that the lives of Janove and Kaizers Orchestra have been quiet over the past few months though – in fact, far from it. To find out what’s been happening in the world of the Kaizers since then and which new ideas are taking shape, we caught up with Janove who sheds some light on his future projects, and introduces us to ten of his favourite Nordic artists. In 2013, the collective embarked on a Siste Dans Tour (Last Dance Tour) after announcing that they’d be taking an extended break. During this time, this award winning group were widely recognised as not only an exceptional live proposition, but also a creative, playful force who strived to make each release interesting and unique. Kaizers Orchestra achieved remarkable success throughout Europe during their career, with the band releasing five albums before launching their Violeta Violeta trilogy in 20. Not only that, but he’s produced albums for other carefully selected Norwegian artists and has worked on the production of a number of musical theatre projects – one of which, Janove reveals in our interview, is currently underway. Janove has played the part of vocalist and songwriter for the renowned Kaizers Orchestra throughout the band’s lifetime, and has also released work as a solo artist in the shape of 2004’s Francis’ Lonely Nights.
