    I could not elaborate on the phone, but he apparently made Gjerstad a cultural center, with Molla studio, his festival and his support of music.

    From Wikipedia (obviously translated from the Norwegian version):
    Valle lives in Gjerstad, Aust-Agder. In 1990 he started Gjerstad Rock club. He went on Vefsn Folkehøyskole studying music with specialization in sound engineering in 1992. In 1996/1997 he studied at the Music Instrument Academy (MIA) in Moss. He has been a music teacher in Sunde Junior for 3 years, and is now guitar teacher at the Guitar Academy.

    He runs Prestfoss Crusher sound and music studio, and organizes an annual festival Molla. He has produced music for over 50 different bands, at home and abroad. He also makes his own guitars. He previously ran Jester Records recording studio in Oslo, with bands as Mayhem, Arcturus and Ulver as customer list.

    In 2011, Valle was awarded with Gjerstad Municipality Culture Award for its longstanding efforts with Mill Festival and volunteering for musical and youth in the municipality.[1] The mayor of Gjerstad stated among other things by awarding:

    “ What primarily interests year's recipient of the Culture Prize is music genre. We are talking about an established and accomplished musician and composer. He also arranges music. The festival is entirely based on volunteer work and volunteer efforts - both from the organizers, helpers and musicians ....... festival has quickly become widely known and put Gjerstad map in music circles worldwide ...... The studio is in today the highest established. Musicians from around the world come here and have used his expertise and his studio to record discs. It's recorded over 200 productions in the studio. World-renowned bands and Fiddler Award winners have been in the studio and recorded their albums. ”
