Kraut Sounds

Each album is an acoustic statement that invites the listener to listen attentively and with quiet introspection. The second release comes from Kraut Sounds and Velo Di Nebbia. The album ‘Atmospheric Imbalances...

After a long break, Kraut Sounds returns with ‘Resonance’. A new album that reflects the turmoil of today's world.

Resonance / 2. Spiral Dub / 3. Half-Light / 4. Flow / 5. Sol / 6. Frames / 7. Hold / 8. Vort...

Stars Don't Make Noise / 4. Blind Spots Written and produced by Kraut Sounds Recorded Jan and May...

New track of the next album, to be released in 2022

"Silence" is a peaceful journey through quiet and meditative soundscapes, based on personal studies about sleep, subconsciousness and higher awareness, in combination with a deep interest in old electronic sounds from the past century. It is an attempt to play less, in order to gain more. Like minimal music with repeating and shifting multi-layered soundscapes. Like slow motion sound painting, wit...

"Fjorden" is a reminiscence to the beautiful and overwhelming landscapes of Norway and my travels through this country. "Fjorden" features ten multilayered soundscapes with deep minimal rhythms, subliminal melodies and colourful ambient sounds. The title of the album is a word creation describing the travel from one fjord to the next. The cover photos of the CD were taken in Sognefjord and at the...

Remember "2001: A Space Odyssey"? The black monolith on the moon? Got the same feeling when traveling through the Toscany area near Volterra. In a sundried vast landscape there was suddenly this ring-shaped monument. Like something from out of this world. Impressive and inspiring. "Monuments" captures this motive and cinematic reminiscense in seven tracks that oscillate between dub, abstract and K...

Floating In Space 2. Vibrations 3. Sonic Dayd...
