Biography
Norwegian electronic music duo Royksopp is the most known representative of so called Bergen Wave of electronic music. It consists of Tornbjorn Brundtland and Svein Berge, both born in Norwegian town Tromso and both fans of electronic music since childhood. Brundtland and Berge have begun playing together in the early 90s, when they were at the age of 18. However, it was more of a hobby than of profesional music for them. Later they split up and met again in 1998 in Bergen, where they decided to form a band named Royksopp (this name can be literally translated as «smoke mushroom»). Bergen was a vital scene for Scandinavian electronic and indie-music at this time, so Royksopp performed together with such Scandinavian musicians as Frost, Kings of Convenience, Those Norwegians, Drum Island and so on.
