New music in the Archive

Earlier this year we decided to open Klaus Schønning's archives and see what unreleased music was hiding. We decided to release what we found on a subscription service on Bandcamp.com
Nine months later, we have released the equivalent of four new albums, excerpts from concerts held in the 1980s and 1990s, and music from an exhibition about Vikings at the National Museum in 1981.
There is more in the archives, so if you are interested, hurry up and sign up on Bandcamp. You will get everything in the archive immediately, and you will receive regular notifications when new material is added.

Unreleased music from 1981


In 1981, the National Museum of Denmark in Brede hired Klaus Schønning to compose music for an exhibition about the Vikings. Some of the museum staff had seen Klaus perform Lydglimt at the Purple Door club and thought his music would be suitable for the exhibition. The music from the exhibition has never been released, and for many years it was thought to have been lost. However, on Record Store Day 2025, the music will be made available to subscribers of Klaus Schønning's Bandcamp page.

I 1981 hyrede Nationalmuseets afdeling i Brede Klaus Schønning til at lave musik til en udstilling om Vikingerne. Nogle af museets folk havde set Klaus opføre Lydglimt på Purple Door klubben, og tænkte at hans musik ville passe til udstillingen. Musikken fra udstillingen er aldrig blevet udgivet, og i mange år troede man, at den var gået tabt. Men på Record Store Day 2025 vil musikken blive gjort tilgængelig for abonnenter af Klaus Schønnings Bandcampside.
