GAFFA “Simply a Masterpiece” NORDJYSKE “I can only recommend this” UKVIBE “Knudsen has enrich my life with his music, and for that I simply say.... Thank you”
“Gloomers is my term for a generation of people who, in silence, behind screens, feel fear and anxiety due to their own unfounded inadequacy. What if we can rediscover the passion for art? If established musicians can articulate the uncertainty and doubt in their abilities through their art?
The music on this album is build on my love for the artform, and I want to celebrate all our differencies and spread joy through sound.
The music is colored by my last 20 years as an active musician. It is a mix of the music I have played around the world, but also a work that gathers my sources of inspiration throughout my life. My teenage years with Nirvana and Green Day will be on par with the elitist music I have studied such as Beethoven, Bartok, and Coltrane. A mishmash that hopefully stands as a unique and cohesive sound on a record that settles between many genres....” Kenneth Dahl Knudsen
