current projects and ventures
After just finishing a master degree in Master in Culture, Communication & Globalization at Aalborg University I currently divide my time between a range of small and medium sized projects on one hand, and co-administrating art- and technology venue Platform4 on the other. This also includes the management of the 1000 sq. meter Platform4 co-working space, Rooftop.

The side projects include running my own maverick electronic music and video recording label Urlyd Audiovisual Recordings, and functioning as chairman of music label association Labelkollektiv which includes managing wholesale vinyl and cd distribution agency Labelkollektiv Distribution and doing promotion-work for various Danish labels as the manager of Labelkollektiv Promotion. Furthermore, I run the small text production agency MindTheDot and project management outfit Spraengfarlig as well as constitute one third of the out-of-the-box creative consulting agency Gratis Luft.

On the side, I hold the position of project lead for Creative Commons Denmark and work part-time as a music publisher with T.G. Publishing. I also do some freelance writing - ao. on my contemplative blog Freeform101 and as a music biz blogger at Bandbase.com - and dj a little on various occasions under the monikers Vilde V, Christian Villum & DJ Ond Blomst. As a dj, I am affiliated to the now defunkt (but soon to be revived) Aabtek dj-collective, member of Urlyd dj-team and part of Aalborg Tærror Crew.
