Knut has always been living for music. He has been playing for many years. At age of 12, KK started like the rock'n'roll music as his past is uknown. Favouriteband AC/DC. Wondering how to make music, he took his fathers nylon guitar and started figuring how to get sounds from the strings, trying to get other tones. This boy had been playing piano for some years, with his grandmother as teacher.In '91, his first electrical guitar was old cyan Samick guitar - white pickboard and a 150W Ibanez amplifier that he bought from his friend Jonny. After some months he formed the first band Metal Maniacs with the drummer Jonny Hansen. The drummer was making all the lyrics in the beginning, and Knut was playing AC/DC and Metallica. He tried to enter the earler band which Jonny played in, but the other members was afraid of competition as they could not play bass or guitar themselves. Many music styles has inspired this man. As some years went with the band, he got more and more guitars, only for collection, and some effect-pedals wich gave him richer sounds. He uses Samick, Ibanez, Washburn, and Fender. He has studied computernetwork/CISCO on IT-Akademiet in Strømmen. He spent two years. He ended up back to his old work, Servisair Oslo Gardermoen Airport as Dispatcher/RedCap. Later started in Wideroes Flyveselskap and then taken over by Scandinavian Ground Handling. Further into Centralized Loadcontrol (world-class quality), department instructor and quality monitoring.

Own Projects:

I have been amazed by some old songs made on the old Amiga as a songtype called .MOD - Amiga module. Old 4-channel songs build up by small samples played in different frequencies. These songs are called "Priest" (unkown) and "Substancell - Cortouchka!" by Moby/Dreamdealers. I made Priest into a multritrack recorder (such as Cakewalk, Cubase), adding strings and synths to the song.  From before  I had tabbed this down on paper and figured how to play it. I was really amazed by this song, so I had to record it of my own. This happened some time in 2001.

In this way, I decided to make a new song for the band, and was starting on composing a song called "Magic Cave". I used the same way of composing it, putting on drums, synths and strings, and record the guitar... Vocals are not put into it yet...

Last year, in 2004, I decided to go for Substancell, a good one, but not yet recorded. I am still working on it... :-)

I think I always will have small projects like these all the time, so I won't stop that anyway. Of course I have made other songs, but they were for my wife. In 2008 we gave life to a baby, borned 24th March 2008, he bears the name Ted Angus, and he's the loveliest boy on Mother Earth. Since then, we needed a new house. New studiopics will come later. Working fulltime, keeping our new home in good shape and raise our kid takes really much time, and we've not managed to put much time in L.O.R.D. and other projects, so everything has been standing still for 3 years now. Only one new project has been started and kept alive. Will add a link later. I have given you one of those  on the "sounds"-page.

See you
