About Erich Von Kneip

The son of a preacher and a lounge singer, Erich Von Kneip grew up doing his school homework on the control room floors of LA's recording studios while his mother sang in the other room. Deciding to follow her lead into the glamorous world of independent music, he learned to play some various musical instruments and proceeded to spend his youth underpaid and sleep-deprived, traveling around three continents and sharing the stage with various musicians, hucksters, bums and go-go dancers.

"A Collection of Abject Musings" is the debut CD from Erich Von Kneip. It was inspired by the terrible tendency of life's events to veer off course, out of our control, and into certain oblivion. The music is performed by a small ensemble consisting of acoustic guitar, contrabass, vibraphone, violin, trumpet, mandolin, cello, and various percussion instruments.

...or ever again! Mar 26

So now you can add liar to your list of pet names for me. The 1930s Jazz Residency seems to be unavoidably gasping its last breaths. I have taken on the project of moving myself and rickety truckload of instruments to a newer and more humble abode - far away from the comforts of a dependable intraveneous drip of Riesling, a pair of reliable wingmen, and harem of talented sirens.
I leave you to your conclusions. . .

,,Wir alle bewundern den flitterübersäten Akrobaten, der im pudrigen Licht mit klassischer Anmut auf dem Drahtseil balanciert; aber wie viel mehr Kunst gehört dazu, in Vogelscheuchenkleidern auf einem schlaffgespannten Seil den grotesken Betrunkenen zu mimen!" (Vladimir Nabokov) Vielen Dank für die Freundschaft und musikalische Grüße aus München!
