Svenson and Alexander Veljanov released single together

"Hiding from me" is the name of the new release of the exceptional guitarist Sven Kühbauch. For the song, he could win Deine-Lakaien-singer Alexander Veljanov. "His voice is epic and goes well with the guitar sound I was looking for," says Kühbauch.

The song tells the story of Helios, the Greek sun god. The personification of the sun is said to have chased a four-in-hand carriage across the sky every day. "This metaphor seemed very appropriate to us because Alexander Veljanov has Macedonian roots and his voice is just unique. So, as soon as I composed the piece in D minor and played my old Dobro Duolion Model 33, I heard his voice singing the chorus. That's why Alexander had to sing the recording, "says the studied guitarist Sven Kühbauch.

Well, he is very happy to have the young drummer Richard Muenchhoff back in the band: "Richard has already participated in my last recording with Jennifer Batten. He has that special something I'm looking for in a drummer. "

However, it took three years to find the perfect guitar tone. Although, Kühbauch had an original Dobro Duolian, Model 33, a resonator guitar made in 1972 made in the USA, a rare specimen that was built according to the manufacturer for just one year. He worked together with Pyramid strings Germany and had to make special guitar strings for the Dobro-Sound: Notwithstanding, Svenson's Resophonic String Set has the strengths 016-059 and the bass strings are polished. Kühbauch only plays with fingers, without a plectrum, and use a Dunlop "Moonshine" ceramic bottleneck.

The result is a piece that flowed from the artist's heart. The recurring, simple chord progression is very memorable. The song gets the certain whistle through a very special instrument: "I really wanted to use a Mellotron for the piece. In addition to the resophonic unplugged sounds of the title, this creates a characteristic, warm, slightly melancholic sound, as can be heard in the piece "Strawberryfields Forever" by the Beatles. "

So, the text of the song "Hiding from me" was written by Alexander Veljanov. "His words pick up the melancholy of the melody and set her up with the Helios metaphor the crown of the sun god," says Kühbauch happily. The title has been available for download on all known online platforms since 14.01.2019.
