Knut Skodvin – short bio
Knut Skodvin (65) has a career as musician, composer and producer, especially in the theatre. He started off as a classical educated musician (contrabass) in Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. His interest for electronic music and composing soon lead him to the studio and theatre. He worked as musical director at Den Nationale Scene in Bergen, Norway from 1980 to 2000.
He stuck mainly to electronica for his theatre music (more than 50 plays), but has also composed music for 2 more mainstream popular musicals, ballet and musical comedy throughout his career.
Now back in the studio, working with his own compositions & remixes. Kondens (1982) was his first publication on vinyl. With it´s original and inventive mixture of the string bass and electronica, it still appeals to music geeks all over the world. The first edition has been sold out for some time, and Orbeatize is happy to reissue this work, together with some of Knut Skodvin´s theatre music from the same period.
