After working with renowned producers and session musicians in some of the best studios
in the world over the last years, Thomas Dybdahl returned to his own studio
1micadventure in Stavanger to find a new, fresh sound for the album 'FEVER'. This
'FEVER' was produced, recorded, written and performed by Thomas together with his
long-time studio partner and Hip Hop producer Håvard Rosenberg in their own studio by
the sea on the west coast of Norway.
What was first meant to be just a single, quickly turned into an EP and eventually an album
as they were on too much of a creative roll to stop. “It’s one thing you learn after a while in
any creative endeavour; if you’re in a good flow, do whatever you can to stay in it for as
long as possible, because when it’s over you might not find it again for a long time. It’s a
precious commodity”. The pairing of urban/hip hop producer Håvard Rosenberg and
Dybdahl’s more melancholy musical style might not seem the obvious one on paper, but
the two share a deep rooted love for soul and funk music and quickly found an expression
that they felt gave a nod to inspirations from the past, but also felt fresh and like it
belonged in the world now. |
