CORRADINI/FRANK

(SWEDEN)

Destiny orchestrated a serendipitous encounter for Pierre Corradini and Thomas E. Frank as they found themselves immersed in collaborative music projects.

Amid the rhythmic tapestry of their shared endeavors, an opportune moment arose in the studio, providing them with the luxury of time.

In these creative interludes, thier spontaneous jams took on a distinctive essence that resonated with both musicians.

What started as impromptu sessions soon evolved into a harmonious symphony, culminating in the creation of a full-fledged album. Their collaborative effort, driven by a mutual passion for music, transcended the realm of improvisation. The resulting compositions bore witness to deeper sounds, infused with a global musical influence and subtle nods to the artistic legacies of John Cale, Vangelis, and cinematic soundscapes. The album seamlessly blended instrumental tracks with vocal tunes, showcasing a tasteful amalgamation of musical elements.

Thomas E. Frank, renowned as the "psychedelic grandfather," had made a significant mark on the music scene through his association with Den Stora Vilan, a folk psych group celebrated across Scandinavia. Since the hiatus of his former group, Thomas's focus shifted to his current project, Hollow Ship – a funky psychedelic quartet that seamlessly blends analog warmth with modern techniques, crafting a distinct sonic identity. Within the confines of his personal studio, Ljudvalvet, Thomas took charge of the mixing and arrangement aspects for the Corradini/Frank recordings.

Pierre Corradini, a journeyman of diverse experiences, initially made waves as a high school karate champion before navigating the tumultuous world of pub rock as a guitarist. His transformative journey led him to a decade-long sojourn in a Swedish countryside new age sect, providing the crucible for personal evolution. Shedding his ego and overcoming drug abuse, Pierre emerged as a talented multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. Today, he dedicates his time to crafting and recording, utilizing the rich tapestry of his past to weave a new narrative. Through his experiences, Pierre has gained insight into the illusions of life, leveraging his unique story to shape a compelling musical future.
