about

"Världens Undergång" (= the end of the world) is the second release by Swedish composer and musician Adrian Knight. "Cabrini-Green" is for disklavier and electronic instruments (electric guitar, Clavia micro modular synthesizer and effect pedals). The title track is a 26 minute sine wave dirge originally in four channels (mixed in stereo for this release) with 8 parts per channel for a total of 32 individual lines.

The recordings were made in 2008 and 2009 in the electronic music studios at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and in an apartment in Solna.

This is a partial rerelease of material originally released as an LP on the now defunct Närproducerat Records. This replaces the previous release. The left out tracks were deemed unsuitable for rerelease by the artist.

"Denna precision, distinkta klangkaraktär och känsla för balans präglar inte minst titelspåret på Knights andra skiva Världens Undergång, med sina 25 minuter det längsta stycket. De övriga...kännetecknas...av en fin känsla för både valörer och puls...Pianot spelar en central roll med sparsamt utplacerade ackord och toner, där klangerna, tystnaden och tidsförloppet artikuleras av små väl avvägda doser elektronik...Trots att han [Knight] uppenbarligen är mycket produktiv känns inget av detta som vare sig stilövningar eller verk som har något ofärdigt över sig." (Andreas Engström, Nutida Musik 3/2010)
