Releases overview autumn -25

Exciting Times Ahead — Music, AI, and the Future

We’re entering an incredibly exciting time with a lot happening — and as always, it’s all about the music. The rise of AI in music creation is accelerating rapidly, and I fully intend to be at the forefront of this movement.

Of course, there are important questions and concerns surrounding the role of AI in creative work, and I’m fully aware of the complexities it brings. But at my core, I’m a creator and an artist — and this is a space I’m ready to explore without hesitation or shame. The tools are here, and they’re evolving fast. It’s an opportunity I believe we should engage with, not fear.

Musikkselskapet EE is my own label — originally founded for my ELROX releases — and now it’s time to grow. I still make music the "traditional" way, as a musician and producer. But I’m also now creating music using AI tools, combining the best of both worlds.

Here’s what’s coming this autumn:

AUGUST 2025

Tomsai: Echo Of A Voice (Singel)

Tomsai is the name I use for songs where AI plays a big role in shaping each idea to its full potential. 'Echo of a Voice' will be available on all streaming platforms starting August 27.


SEPTEMBER 2025


Tomsai: Miles Away (Singel)

Next singel by Tomsai is ready for release 10. september. 



Bergsvein: See The Sun (EP)

Release 19. september. Finally! Ready for release. Bergsvein is a singer/songwriter from Tynset and a good friend of mine. His guitar, flute and voice is just amazing. We recorded this EP in my studio Klangfabrikken in Rendalen. 4 songs. We also made a video for "See The Sun" which will be available on Youtube. All songs written and performed by Bergsvein. Sound engineer and producer: Tom Ståle Engebretsen. Mastered by Audun Strype.



Elrox Ambient Session : Iceberg (EP)

Release: September (TBA)
This EP has been available on Bandcamp for quite some time — now it’s finally making its way to streaming platforms. A limited number of CDs are still available for purchase.

Elrox Ambient Session is exactly what the name suggests: ambient music.
Produced and mastered by Tore Stabell Kulø.




Tomsai: They Are Here (album)

Release during september: Norway’s first conceptual album created with AI. Inspired by Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, this project has evolved into a completely original story — with tracks that slip smoothly into your ears. A fusion of soft pop and rock opera.

More information coming soon.
