This album showcases both the noise and ambient aspect of CPs output. Two long and three short improvisations, no overdubs.
The name of the game is free improvisation, experimentation and artistic challenge. The copenhagenmusician and producer plays both non-instruments (amplified objects, dictaphone), instruments (string instruments, keyboards, percussion) and electronics (laptop, electronics, synthesizer).
A versatile improviser, his music projects span across genres such as ambient/soundscape (solo), noise, direct action lo-fi improv (Star Turbine) and freejazz (Blind Man’s Band).
CP is highly active releasing cassettes, CDs and vinyl, tours frequently in Denmark and Europe and also helps other artists producing their albums and making cover art.
During the last few years, the main focus has been exploring how not to play zither + electronics.
