The More is here subtly remixed by Scandinavian trippy,
dub-techno artist Simon Björk (on Loster Theremin, London)
in a lustful, mid-tempo version of the single for The Anti-Terror Album.
PV Knude & Simon Björk met each other whilst submerged under the water of
the Copenhagen
harbours.
Artist and songwriter Peter Voss-Knude has released the
first single, "The More" off of his upcoming LP, The Anti-Terror
Album. "The More" was released with a visual album trailer for the LP
set to be released January 20th along with a solo exhibition presented through
the Danish Museum of Contemporary Art.
“The Anti-Terror Album” is an alternative pop music record
that I have written as a response to a clandestine governmental terror exercise
that I got hold of and leaking through art and music. I am interested in
contemporary music that have empowering, political ambitions and effects. The
Anti-Terror Album is presented through the Museum
of Contemporary Art [DK] and Creative
Europe [EU] and is recorded with an amazing team of diverse musicians in Copenhagen, Belgrade and London," says Knude.
With The Anti-Terror Album, PV Knude turns the entire
concept of anti-terrorism upside down. To him, the real terror is not an
external threat. Rather, the terror stems from our own fears and prejudices
that are fed by narratives such as ‘KRISØV 2017’. And from the imagined threats
that we ourselves build up and manifest, for example in the form of physical
anti-terror barriers.
The Anti-Terror Album is written and produced by Knude and
is co-produced by Angel Wei (First Hate) and Mads Brinch (Sauna Studio engineer
in CPH). It is presented and payed for generously by the Museum of Contemporary
Art (DK) and an international large scale European production under creative
Europe that aim to use music to solve political conflicts. The release of The
Anti-Terror Album is the centerpiece of Knude's solo exhibition at the museum
in January (January 23- May 10 2020) where a very beautiful vinyl (300 copies)
will be released.
