Welcome to my webpage.

Ole André Farstad is my name.

I am a guitarist, composer, and producer.

Strings aficionado and collaborator

A brief history: Growing up playing in rock bands and simultaneously studying classical guitar, music and the guitar played a major role in my life from a very young age.

I received a master's degree from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London after studying jazz and classical music at the conservatoire in Agder (now UIA).

Also, I have traveled widely to learn music and string instruments from other cultures.

I work with a diverse spectrum of performers and musical genres, from world music, jazz, and classical to modern, experimental, improvised music, rock, and metal, thanks to a tremendous fascination for all types of music.

You can discover some music, films, and details about my bands and other projects on these pages. The blog also has some strange items from my musical exploits.
