about

Emil Karlsen's solo record "Flux" is based around making the most out of the drum set in terms of extended techniques, timbre and textures - improvised. Inspired by his Norwegian background, this project is portrait of many years thinking compositionally and texturally about the drums, especially when put in a solo context. Challenging both the role of the drum set as well as the listener is the key aspects of this record.

" (…) intensity and density, with many percussive sounds adding power like a mountain river that swells with the falling rain.”
