John Erik Kaada NORWAY 

With 40 over films, numerous TV shows and documentary scores to his credit, Norwegian composer John Erik Kaada (or “Kaada” as he’s often called) is a sought after film composer. Also a prolific recording artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer, Kaada has also enjoyed a string of critically acclaimed solo albums, a high-profile collaboration with artist Mike Patton, and many records and world tours as a member of the alternative power-trio, Cloroform.  Kaada’s style is perhaps most easily defined by his unique sounds and penchant for eclectic instrumentation.

pressquotes: 

Sponic : “If you think you've heard everything, chances are you haven't heard anything like this”. ... “it's surely the best at whatever it is.”
Groovy Style : “Once again, the fair nation of N orway has dropped an innovative music bomb, this time in the form of quirky, pop art mad artist Kaada.”
Concussion : “Kaada is the best thing to come out of N orway since L eif Erikson set sail for America.”
