Savium - Inane and Serene
Claus M. Hansen creates instrumental rock and pop under the name of Savium. He has one online album available and it is titled Inane and Serene. While he cites Mogwai and Tortoise as influences, his music is more upbeat and accessible than either band. With an arsenal of guitars, keyboards, and computer, he turns out music that nicely balances a melodic beauty and the high energy of heavy metal. These are tightly structured but short pieces with only two tracks being over 4 minutes. Representative tracks include the jaunty “Animus Girl”and her playful brother “Amiable Boy”, a stalking and predatorial “Inane and Vast”, and the atypically mournful closing track, “Chimera”.
The album is available by either separate tracks or full zip in 192kbps MP3.
Thanks for spreading the sounds of Savium :)
Sincerely Claus (aka. Savium)
