He's called
Viktor Sjöberg and he used to live in the quiet Swedish community of Pixbo. He's young and
he's sampling everything that sounds and even some things that don't...
He got into musicmaking by sampling things such as plastic bags and rubbing a little microphone against the speakers. This lead to a rave review in a local newspaper and strange looks from the other kids at summercamp. After this he really got going, beatmining, digging for music everywhere he could, absorbing all kinds of influences and constantly developing, constructing and re-constructing his own musical ideas into what they are now. Right from the start his presence on the internet was strong. And that's where Syds Marra from dDrecords found him late '90s, only 16 years old but already producing impressive music that went beyond the surface. His inspirations range from hip hop producer Peanut Butter Wolf to filmmaker David Lynch and author Jack Kerouac via the legendary Lee 'Scratch' Perry. His music is moody, mainly because it's based on introspection and emotion, on the mysteries that are buried deep inside us. It's beat-orientated though, but minimalistic, beats and melodies both stripped to the bone. Sometimes it is like listening to movie soundtracks for which the movie still has to be made - but who knows what tricks he has up his sleeve ? You can track Viktor on his blog. His first album AUDIO ARCHITECTURE was produced in 2000 but never officially distributed. This due to financial difficulties (internet bubble burst..).Only available @ dDrecords. He is also featured [with 2 new tracks!] on the WOOD compilation. You can order his CD online with us or, in case you buy one or more T-shirts from our new web-shop (starts 01-2010), get it as a free gift. (for a limited time only!)
