Röyksopp - Profound Mysteries
Released 29th April 2022.
As human beings, what we don’t know vastly overshadows what we do know. As teenagers, we would discuss our own fascination and preoccupation with the infinite and the impossible - the most profound mysteries of life.”- Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland
Röyksopp unveil Profound Mysteries, an expanded creative universe and a prodigious conceptual project. On January 1st, 2022 Röyksopp launched the film ‘(Nothing But) Ashes…’ and fans were encouraged to ‘Press «R»’. Alongside the Kasper Häggström-directed short film ‘BJA’, a second piece of music, ‘The Ladder’, was released. A new artefact and visualiser, created by Australian contemporary artist Jonathan Zawada, brought the music to life. All elements are accessible through the ‘Profound Mysteries’ portal.
A premiere of ‘The Downfall’ by Marc Reisbig followed, and another chapter was revealed with ‘Impossible’ featuring Alison Goldfrapp - the first human voice to be heard on‘ Profound Mysteries’. A third artefact and visualiser designed by Jonathan Zawada expanded the collection.
Expect more chapters from the ‘Profound Mysteries’ universe to be unveiled soon.
Back in 2014, Röyksopp released what was billed as their final album, ‘The Inevitable End’. While Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland vowed to continue making music together, they announced that this was“ goodbye to the traditional album format.” Since then, the Norwegian electronic duo remained busy, soundtracking a comedy theatre show based on the work of Franz Kafka, contributing to Rick Rubin’s ‘Star Wars Headspace’ compilation, and dipping into their archives for the ‘Lost Tapes’ reissue series
