Kadonnut Manner
The <> project of Lauri Manner, a fingerstyle guitarist from Oulu, Finland. Kadonnut Manner means “the lost continent”
Drawing influences from Mississippi John Hurt’s country blues, John Fahey school of American Primitive Guitar playing and finnish folk music, his music has been described as cinematic, raw and emotional experience that transports the listener instantly to faraway destinations. It features lots of open tunings, hot syncopation and driving rhythms and it expands the country blues form with things borrowed from different folk traditions, 20th century classical music and other inspiring things. He’s been working towards finding his own sound and using ideas from finnish music traditions, and getting to play live as much as possible is also part of this process.

Adrian Hermes
A Berlin <> artist influenced by 80‘s and 90‘s Indie Pop and Lo-Fi sounds. From late summer due autumn 2016 he produced his debut album all by himself also playing every instrument on the album. The target was to create a intuitive and organic sounding album but still with pop song structures.
Main instrument is a Jazzmaster electric guitar supported by a Beatles bass, samples from classic analogue drum machines and a vintage Casio synthesizer. All songs are mastered analogue on tape cassette avoiding high digital compression.
Adrian Hermes is a DIY artist and working totally independent from the industry. Thus he is releasing his album on his own label „LoFi
Industries“. Release is the 17rd of February 2017.
