Play drums in the rock band TIM. But I also play in various other bands and projects which includes the acoustic oriented band M10V Unplugged, the avant-garde punk/polka(!)/jazz-type band Eisbein, and sometimes I play a bit with the blues/funk/fusion band Overall, and also the occasional gig with Bjørn-Peder Johansen too. And on top of that I also have my own improvisational project called Orki Panama.



Let’s see…regarding studio sessions….In 2005 I did all of the drum tracks for Bjørn-Peder Johansen’s new CD “Spesiell” which received great critics and climbed the Norwegian radio charts. Around the same time I also did tracks for Trond Nilsen who got a radio hit with one of his songs. In autumn 2006 I recorded an album’s worth of tracks for pop-singer Inanna for her upcoming CD, and also recorded some tracks for Michael Morrisson from London, all at Tommy Berre's Kitchen Studio.

Recorded also a couple of tracks with my band TIM for our debut CD and also several tracks with the blues-funk band Overall. Also did a studio session in June 2007 for the fantastic singer/songwriter Hasse Farmen for his upcoming CD, and I also joined the avantgarde punk/polka(!)/jazz-type band; Eisbein.



1st September 2007 my band TIM finally released our debut CD “Lübeck” and we did various radio promo/interview work and TV shows and also got A-listed on various national radio stations.



2008 kicked off with going in the studio and recording new tracks for our next CD with TIM. Did also some more studio recording with Eisbein. Joined the M10V Unplugged band and did a tour with them in March in the western part of Norway. Let's see, what elseI stepped in for Citizen Charlie on short notice on her release concert in April. And in June I did a recording session with Haakon Langaas Lageng.



In 2009 I co-started the 70-80s guitar-oriented rock band, Doktorwagen, and I feel very lucky to be able to play in this band that has some of my favorite musicians on the Norwegian scene today.

In the summer more studio sessions followed with TIM for our next CD.

Then, to something that I hold very dear and has long been a dream of mine, 26 August my dear friend Bjørn and I finally arranged our own debut concert with our improv duo, Orki Panama, at a club in Oslo. A month later we went in the studio recording tracks which we hope we will get to release soon.



I really enjoy doing various studio sessions and enjoy the challenge of quickly coming up with parts and trying to play the right part with the right feel and sound for the song. If you are interested in having me play on some tracks please don't hesitate to take contact with me. Thanks for tuning in.



Gary Husband about Sturla;

"I played your CD and you sound great on there. Very nice sensitive playing my friend - good for the songs, good feel and sound. You sound an excellent drummer Sturla. You play really very, very good for each song in my opinion. The stuff was really good. Very nice indeed."



Drag around some Tama Starclassic Maple drums in sunny yellow finish, or an old super-mahogany finished Tama Superstar kit, polishing Zildjian cymbals, denting Remo heads and slipping Pro-Mark 707 sticks. More details in the blog section.
