SATIN WHITE, is the new band from Carsten Kettering, the former bassist of ROSS THE BOSS, MAJESTY, and IVORY NIGHT (among others)
The musical direction of the band is in the genre „Rock“, with the focus on catchy melodies, plus groovy rhythms and songs with a recognition value. The numerous influences from different genres are purely coincidental and give each song individuality.
Each song is viewed as a compact and independent work, without focusing on the individual instruments, but rather to create a homogeneous overall work. The SATIN WHITE motto is „The song is the star“
The title of the album alludes to the age of the songs and the age of the musicians, who are actually not quite “grayed out” in the sense of their musical performance. If you pronounce the title, it should be viewed with a “wink”. The music can and should sound honest. Small corners and edges were deliberately left in the songs in order to offer a counterpoint to the sterile consumerism in the music industry. Frank Schnitzer is responsible for the implementation and composition on the guitar, who gives each song on Not Grayed At All an individual timbre and thus a Unique selling proposition.
