About These Six
«These Six» is six improvised pieces of acoustic music performed by the young Norwegian musicians Ivar Grydeland and Tonny Kluften, and the German pioneer Paul Lovens. Grydeland plays acoustic guitar and fake-banjo, Kluften plays double bass and Lovens plays what he describes as «selected and unselected drums and percussion».
The music is dynamic and contrasted. Some pieces are longer and more extensive while others are shorter with tonal and rhythmical strictness. The CD was recorded in June 2003 by Audun Strype.
