About Coastal Research:
Coastal research is a record of worship. It's dark and
mystical, yet far from depressing. The grandeur of the songs
never intrude on the intimacy, keeping within the limits of
minimalism. It's beautiful, calm and melodic, yet with an
intense nerve and spirit. Mikael R Andreasen has, with this
record, made a completely honest worship to his God, but he
also demands the listener to listen actively, due to the
complexity of the tracks.
About Kloster:
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. Incorporating music as his main expression, Mikael is
also a published author who's first work has been translated
into 3 languages so far. 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.
