Recalling the musical roots of his homeland Rumania, his music is rich of beautiful melodic arcs and melancholy harmonies. He uses for some numbers the rarely encountered six-string fretless guitar, which gives him unlimited scope for scales and violin-like performance techniques. The results are long, wistful speaking and singing tones. Erlend Krauser music means natural-feeling guitar music that flirts with jazz, but without artificial virtuosity.
The warm and smooth guitar sound of Erlend Krauser is the uniting element. "Erlend´s guitar music here is extremely light and tuneful in the vein of The Shadows or Fleetwood Mac (yes, a version of ALBATROS is included) but with a slight jazzy modern styling. Bright and tuneful music that would be ideal backing for nature films. (To think he was once a member of the legendary Rumanian progressive band Phoenix!)".
Press reviews:
"Professionally written and performed stunning music indeed, ranging from atmospheric pieces to rich powerful themes that should appeal to fans of Eric Johnson, Alan Horldworth and any good rock instrumental music - now this guy can really play!" - Audion 10/90
