Kloster

About Me

The band Flying Saucer Attack once wrote "Home recording is re-inventing music". Mikael R Andreasen and his project -Kloster- appear to be cementing that claim. Based out of his home studio "Blitzkrieg", Mikael spends his time creating musical thoughts with the help of friends who drop by.The atmosphere is relaxed, the music being something that brings people together in a creative expression. Self-taught and with a curious mind the songs are based around an idea of cheery exploration, a collage of ideas added to by people who pass through with their own offerings.Already on his second album, Mikael’s approach is to strip down songs concentrating on vocal melodies wrapped in beautiful chords and tones. The idea behind the music is to shy away from the live stage and veer more towards creating pleasant music in his home, to give it that warm, welcoming tone. His attitude is simple and refreshing in a world wrought with over-priced producers and bands who miss the "heart" of the music. The music being an extension of who he really is. He allows you to be the judge.
