EPK - Behind the scenes
THIS IS ME. THIS KLAWUTA. I’M CREATING. I’M DRIVEN. YOU ARE INVITED. YOU ARE WELCOME.
Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Matthias Fröhlich (drummer of LAUSCH) created himself a new playground. After working with several projects for over a decade, he took a break and became a dad. But being driven by passion, this break didn’t last long – ideas and music pushed back into his thoughts.
The concept of klawuta is simple: It’s a home-coming. Home is his studio, here the songs are written and recorded first-hand. That’s what Matthias always enjoyed most in musician‘s life. Live-shows with all their compromises, sticky floors in the clubs, dirty backstage rooms, long roadtrips – that’s in the past and not really missed.
But even as the lone wolf, he tends to be, he enjoys the inspiration of collaborations. So klawuta is supported at least by one guest on most oft the tracks. This could be friends, respected colleagues or even idols.
MANUS
What do Phil Collins, Dave Grohl, Nick D’Virgilio, Sheila E., and Levon Helm have in common? They all belong to the unusual category of musicians known as singing drummers! The same applies to KLAWUTA. The multi-instrumentalist usually writes and performs all parts of his songs himself, including vocals.
On his new single “Manus” (aptly named after the Latin word for “hand”), he indulges in his favorite instruments: drums, bass, guitar, and piano. In addition, polyrhythmic elements come into play. However, for KLAWUTA this is absolutely not about musical showmanship—quite the opposite. The focus is always on the song and the emotion.
