Hello people,
I've just heard this album and liked it much, but I couldn't find artist info on PA, so I think it would be a good fit for the site. Fotgjengeren (Norwegian for pedestrian, I think) is the project of American musician, Christopher Manning. The present album is roaming around avant prog style with plenty of ingredients put in, from King Crimson-ish tenor sax to Kayo Dot-like dissonance and even some death metal growls. Very diverse album that still maintains its own organic mood. http://fotgjengeren.bandcamp.com/album/coming-round-the-bend" rel="nofollow - http://fotgjengeren.bandcamp.com/album/coming-round-the-bend So, here's the album and hope to see this project on ProgArchives  |

Fotgjengeren on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fotgjengerenmusic" rel="nofollow - https://www.facebook.com/fotgjengerenmusic - it's quite a challenge following him on there though - some posts are in Swedish, some in Norwegian...and a fair few in Georgian too! There are the odd one or two in English, however, so it's not as bad as it could have been.

Interesting indeed but looks like they're unsigned (see http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=96630" rel="nofollow - this guideline ) so this thread's been moved into "Unsigned" section.

I'm getting a huge kick out of his Backyard Improvisations. Completely anti-pretentious. Wonder what his neighbors think. |

Yea, I know that can be difficult, but I tend to write based on the mood that I'm in and sometimes that can be in a different language. I'll admit that recently I haven't really been doing much writing in English.

I've got a new album out. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to perform with two of Kayo Dot's current members, Tim Byrnes and Keith Abrams, as well as some of my friends who made great contributions to the albums. Hope you enjoy it. https://fotgjengeren.bandcamp.com/album/distained-and-untwined
