THE BOOK OF HOURS

Description

Agropelter is a Norwegian progressive rock project. It is the creative expression of Kay Olsen, a new recruit on the thriving Norwegian prog scene. His music draws inspiration as much from classic prog bands like Genesis, Camel, King Crimson and Eloy as from classical composers like Rachmaninov, Beethoven, Bach, Vangelis and Terje Rypdal. On this debut album, expect a multitude of Mellotrons, Hammond organs, ARP, harpsichords, Minimoogs and Taurus bass pedals. Kay Olsen played all the guitars, bass, church organ and synthesizers. Also contributing to the album were Jonas Reingold (Steve Hackett, The Flower Kings, Kaipa, Karmakanic) on fretless bass, Mattias Olsson (Änglagård, White Willow, Molesome) on percussion, vintage synth overdubs and ambience, Andreas Sjøen (Umpfel, VÅDE, Sean Ashe) on drums, as well as many classical musicians on strings and woodwinds. The album was mixed and mastered by the great Jacob Holm-Lupo (White Willow, Donner, Solstein).
