Royksopp Updated: 08/08/02
Producing great electronic sounds and playing live

Royksopp have plugged the vacuum vacated by Air. Their melancholic electronica is beautifully moody and it won't be long, if it hasn't happened already, before coffee tables and dinner parties are rendered incomplete without Royksopp permeating the airwaves. OneMusic caught up with them to see how they captured their lush and gentle sound on their held-together-with-chewing-gum kit. Sticky.
 
"My favourite instruments are the Akai sampler, a pair of decks and Wavelab..."
Their music
Torbien: "The music itself is based on programming electronic equipment, analogue equipment, digital equipment and incorporating more traditional instruments into it.
Sven: "...spiced up with all the emotions you can possibly fit inside a human being. I guess that some of the best Drum and Bass out there is probably made in cellars without windows. But for us we need to have a window."
 
Their instruments
T: "My favourite instruments are the Akai sampler, a pair of decks and Wavelab. My favourite midi sequencer is Voyetra software, programmed in DOS, a Sequencer Plus Gold, which is a really fast programming device where you don't use the mouse. It's a bit like Fast Tracker, for those of you who know that programme, but it's even simpler."
