Since the fall of 2010, the Big Friendly Giant (SVK) has roamed restlessly
through cinematic soundscapes; from soothing drones to soaring heights. SVK
consists of three musicians that studied Music Technology together at the
prestigious Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). "We utilize
bass, guitar, drums, a couple of thingamajigs and a watchumacallit to create an
expression that's both progressive and grounded," explains guitarist and singer
Claus Sohn Andersen. "I'd say we hint at both 70's rock and modern noise-music."
H╒kon Nyb░ (bass), Kristian M⌡kinen (drums) and Claus Sohn Andersen (guitars and
vocals) recorded their self-titled debut in various studios at the university
and the album consists of almost an hour of pure post-rock bliss. "We've played
several shows in the Trondheim-area, and appeared at this year's installment of
the festival "St░y P╒ Landet" (Noise in the Countryside). After actively playing
together for more than a year we felt it was time to release our debut album,"
Sohn Andersen elaborates. "The album is filled with various elements that
further support the brilliant build-ups of timbre, dynamics and texture. We're
quite pleased with the outcome."
The music itself blends characteristics from ambient, jazz, electronica, and
experimental music with SVK's own characteristics and touch. "Our music is best
enjoyed with ears open and eyes closed," says Sohn Andersen.
