Knut Andresen (a.k.a. K-minor) is a Norwegian music producer who started his career as a drum and guitar player in various local bands in Oslo. With the improvements of today's technology, he became one of those music producers who broke the limitations of being stuck to the massive sound recording studios, and global record labels.
His collaborations with various musicians in Norway and in other countries, helped his style to be vibrant and colorful. He is using various techniques to form compositions by blending electronic and acoustic sounds. The results are rich and melodic songs with groovy rhythms.
Although his musical roots lies in the past, being a multi-instrumentalist and searching for the latest musical toys, keeps him fresh and different.
