Petterson

New album in the making

About Me

How are you all doing? My name is Petterson. In 2004 I released an EP, including the tracks that you can listen to here on the page. Since then I have been devoting my time to my other project, Alice Sings the Petterson Songbook, and now I'm recording new stuff on my own..or that is, with my home boy Mads Andersen, who co-produces and plays the drums and more. Can't wait to lay out some of the new tracks. Meanwhile; have you ever listened to the orchestra suite from "Der Rosenkavalier" by Richard Strauss. If you have, good for you, if not, you're in for a real treat and a definitive answer to the question, posed by the much too early late, great Frank Zappa: "Does humor belong in music?"
