Tore is an award-winning drummer currently residing in TRONDHEIM, Norway. he cut his teeth on the records of Steely Dan and the Beatles before shifting his attention to jazz and related improvisational music.

These include groups such as Mapping Oceans, Dag-Filip Roaldsnes Ensemble, Odd Steinar Albrigtsen Quintet, Speakeasy (nominated for Spellemannsprisen, the Norwegian Grammy in 2009), Aphrodisiac and Bergljot. He has worked with renowned artists and musicians such as Jens Carelius, Jan Vardøen (Autumn Fall - motion picture soundtrack), Nils Petter Molvær, Arrigo Cappelletti, Stein Bull-Hansen amongst others.
