SCAR SYMMETRY Guitarist Featured On New KAIPA Album

April 18, 2007

SCAR SYMMETRY guitarist Per Nilsson is featured on the new album from KAIPA, "Angling Feelings", due in May on InsideOut Music. KAIPA mastermind/keyboard player Hans Lundin and Per are old friends, having previously collaborated on the album "Hagen: Corridors of Time" in the late '90s.

Hans composed the songs on "Angling Feelings" with the help of other members Morgan Ågren (MATS & MORGAN, ZAPPA),Jonas Reingold (FLOWER KINGS, TANGENT),Per Nilsson (SCAR SYMMETRY),Patrik Lundström (RITUAL) and Aleena Gibson.

Hans describe the birth of this album: "During the summer of 2005 I worked with the KAIPA box and I didn't make any attempt to write new music.

"When I started to write the songs for this album in October 2005 I was afraid that I was totally out of ideas but the fact is it was like opening a magical box and in less than three months most of the songs for the new album were written.

"With this album I allowed the music to find its own direction and sometimes flow in very unexpected directions but also to be very simple when I felt it was necessary. I wanted to make a progressive music but not in the traditional way.

"When I listen to the final result I think the best description of the music on this album would be: progressive-fusion-folk-rock.

"The title track 'Angling Feelings' is inspired by Jan Ternald's original artwork for the album and as a fact I think during the whole writing process I tried to keep up this positive vibe I find in this artwork.

"This is probably the most joyful and relaxed recording session I've ever been involved in and I hope you can hear it in the final result."
