Featherfin does almost everything in the project himself, from composing, mixing and playing to making the cover art and the animated music videos for his songs. He loves collaborations, though, and he has worked with musicians and singers from all over Europe, USA and Asia.
Knut grew up in Tromsø, by the fjord, above the Arctic circle, with northern lights and no sunlight during winter, and midnight sun and no darkness during summer. He now lives in the south of Norway, but his heart and soul belongs to the north.
The nature, the darkness and the special light in his hometown may have influenced the dreamy sound of Featherfin’s music today.
In the 80s’ Tromsø, you either did sports or you found some creative things to do on your own. Knut and his friends chose the latter. He played in synth pop and industrial bands, and when house music and techno arrived, he became involved in the electronic house/techno music scene in the city. He has even played in the only Balalaika orchestra in Norway

In 2013, he discovered that most of his old synths were available as apps on his ipad, so he started making small instrumental tunes while sitting in his living room, relaxing. This led to what is Featherfin today. He still uses the iPad for most of his composing, mixing and recording, in addition to a guitar, a bass, vocals and some percussion.
“I still have no clue how to play guitar and bass“, he says, “but I do it anyway“.
