about

There is a beginning for everything. Any time you need it, the beginning is there. Just go back to the drawing board, and you will find yourself at the beginning, in the most basic form.

“The Drawing Board” is my beginning. Each track is a figment of my memory and where I began. The empty canvas is whatever I wish it to be. Stripped of most accompaniments, the music is at its most basic – a simple piano. That was how I began, and is my essence.

Just go back to the drawing board.

"There are composers who rob a heart with the first sounds, which is then hopelessly lost to the musician. In this case Gabriel Chan aka Norvik. The new album "the drawing board" is also another guarantee for an hour's time" - GEZEITENSTROM - MUSIKMAGAZIN

"Chan, who easily proves his skill behind the piano on tracks such as “Outline” which are as good as any other, demonstrates that when he adds in the ambient/electronic touches it gives his music an extra element to play with and develop. Rightfully he doesn’t use it all the time otherwise it can lose its potency." - DRIFTING, ALMOST FALLING
