ABOUT
INTRODUCTION
Writing, recording and producing songs are only one creative outlet, as Sven
also does all the photo shooting and loves creating visual concepts for cd‘s,
websites etc.
Therefore it comes at no surprise that Sven shoots and creates all videos by
himself. His youtube channel features lyric videos, performance videos and
the odd equipment review. Sven enjoys the luxury of broad musical taste -
from pop / / blues / rock up to Metallica he also loves classical music. Not
entirely surprising for a studied musicologist.
I'm much more creative and inspired when there are other people around me and
I'm bouncing ideas off.

It was really refreshing how simple he kept things, (...) he just did what he wanted to do and
stuck to it.

I CAN SEE
16/07/2017 One of the tracks from the ‚Happy Turns To Blue‘ album everyone seems to like. It features the amazing vocals by Lena Maurer. I love the 5/4 rhythm drummer Magnus came up with.LATEST REVIEW (in GERMAN)
05/09/2017 Excerpt: „Eben durch seinen Vortrag gewinnen die Kompositionen eine besondere Kennung, während der Namensgeber des Projekts auf hohem Niveau songdienlich spielt, wie es von Joe Satriani bis Michael Sagmeister so einige Größen vormachen. Zwei Bassisten, ein fester Schlagzeuger und nicht zuletzt Gastsängerin Lena Maurer halfen Horlemann letztlich dabei, "Happy Turns To Blue" die Atmosphäre eines richtigen Bandalbums zu verleihen - ein großes Plus, besonders unter ansonsten "einsamen" Solomuckern. FAZIT: Statt Akrobatik Dienst am prototypischen Song, so wie er sein sollte - auf natürliche Weise zugänglich, emotional greifbar und selbstverständlich auch in handwerklichen Belangen ansprechend … SVEN HORLEMANN erfüllt diese Anforderungen mit "Happy Turns To Blue" bravourös und ist somit viel, viel mehr als nur ein lokaler Möchtegern-Gitarrenheld.“ABOUT
