For more than ten years, the 43-year-old Sven Kühbauch rocked under his stage name SVENSON. The musician SVENSON from Marburg studied at the jazz and rock school in Freiburg, which he left as the best guitarist of his class. Since 1994, he has given individual and group lessons and has gained his rich experience in master classes, lessons and workshops from Greg Howe, Scott Henderson and Pat Metheny among others. Sven Kühbauch was used to sophisticated compositions for electric and acoustic guitar. With his fifth studio album, the versatile artist has now discovered brilliant cinema sounds for himself. His melodies are catchy virtuoso phrases and have a high recognition value. Titles like “Friendships” or “Sunborn Sinje” deserve the addition “Beware of catchy tunes!”. "I was inspired by Ramin Djawadi “Game of Thrones” or Jeremy Soule “Skyrim” and really wanted to transfer this epochal feeling to the guitar when I listened to it," explains Kühbauch. The international work of recent years has also been incorporated into his own compositions: “I have worked on over 15 different projects worldwide, from rock and pop productions to film music to jingles and sound designs.”. On his album “Glory, Death and Heroes” Michael Jackson's ex-guitarist Jennifer Batten can be heard with a piece she praised: “It's a killer track, great sound” Batten said about “Rainbow Rocket Ride”. In conclusion, his album can be described as a soundtrack that could exist in a movie or even in an epic adventure game. Interesting!
