About Me

Recently relocated to Melbourne from Sydney, acoustic, experimental troubador Kristoffer Paulsen has been slowly crafting a sound for himself in the indie alt-folk scene over the last two years. Echoing the sounds of the great heart-torn songwriters such as Dylan, Tweedy, Cash and Adams and Yorke, his music has been described as raw, honest and direct. Whilst having a life-long love affair with guitars, he also has a fascination of the electronic and has also recently been moonlighting in experimental outfit “Cherry Ghost”.
The art of patience and perseverance…I can stick artificial flowers on this tress that will not flower, or I can create the conditions in which the tree is likely to flower naturally. I may have to wait longer for my real flowers; but they are the only true ones. John Fowles , The Aristos 1964.
