Pretty Ugly - '04 (Kirkelig Kulturverstedet FXCD 281)

Clone on his Own
In 1974, Tandberg developed a recording technology that made 2 track sound-on-sound recording possible, by "ping ponging" back and forth between left and right channels it was possible (in theory) to lay down an unlimited number of tracks on top of each other. Young Reiersrud managed to aquire the tape recorder by taking every odd job available - from paperboy to selling hotdogs at the local race track. Knut grew up in a family that spent 3 years in Cuba. His father,who had aspirations a classical pianist, filled their home with a collection of all sorts of exotic instruments which of course Knut couldn't keep his hands off. It was then that Knut developed a concept to make his own band (consisting of just him) and record it all on the new Tandberg reel to reel tape recorder.

His new record, "Pretty Ugly", is built on the same concept. Knut's good friend and colleague over many years, H.P. Gundersen, persuaded him to find a musical expression focusing exclusively on his own musical ideas. Reiersrud's roots has always been the blues, and on this record you will find his interpretations of some of the Blues tunes he grew up with and new original material written by himself and together with Jeff Wasserman.
