Karl Lundeberg

"Karl Lundeberg is a musical alchemist" ~ Washington Post

Karl Lundeberg’s career in music, both as a performer and a composer, stretches the concept of eclectic and is indicative of an artist whose view of music is all inclusive. There are few genres of music in which he has not been active and few mediums where his work has not met critical acclaim. From contemporary classical to jazz to world music to avantgarde to traditional Norwegian folk music, from performing to making records, to composing music for film, television, radio, theatre, and ballet.

A Columbia Records recording artist with his groundbreaking jazz group Full Circle, Composer in Residence for the Mark Taper Forum at the Los Angeles Music Center, and composer whose artistic collaborations run the gamut from John Cage to Gerry Goffin, Susan Sontag to Steve Martin, Sir Peter Hall to Sir David Hare, he has performed and/or recorded with Miroslav Vitous, Steve Gadd, Eddie Gomez, and Gilberto Gil among countless others.

Karl Lundeberg has consistently worked with the leading figures in each artistic medium in which he has distinguished himself. Now, with the creation of the band Fascination Curve and the album "Corona Time In Amerika", he enters the world of rock music with a groundbreaking new record.

Extraordinary times sometimes leads to the creation of extraordinary art and music. The new single “Dip Them In Gold” is a tribute to the doctors and nurses who for 2 years have sacrificed their nervous systems fighting the pandemic and who now sacrifice their lives fighting for democracy in Ukraine.

The band is Fascination Curve, a group of musicians with a fascinating pedigree who have worked with a dizzying variety of artists. From Rolling Stones to Miroslav Vitous. From Elton John to John Cage. From Rick Wakeman to Ringo Starr. From Gilberto Gil to Phil Collins. From Madonna to Ambrosia. From Stev Vai to Steve Gadd. From Keith Emerson to Michael Jackson.

Many points on the musical compass are explored by Fascination Curve.
