John Erik Kaada (born July 28, 1975) is a musical artist and composer from Stavanger, Norway. Lately, Kaada has been working more with film, and he has already contributed soundtracks to a number of Norwegian productions.

In his opinion, working with film music has opened up the realm of classical music and composition, which he regards as “part two of his musical life.” It has entailed things like a tour in May 2007 of classical concert halls the Netherlands with a full choir and chamber orchestra.

Kaada is also still very active with the band Cloroform. In May they spent time in the studio recording their upcoming album “Clean”. During the summer of 2007, they will perform at a few Norwegian festivals.

One notable project was his collaboration with Mike Patton. The two have gotten along famously in their shared sense of the idiosyncrasies of music and art. The latest Kaada/Patton album was 2004’s “Romances”.
