"After composing and producing the ambient avantgarde EP, The Nothing EP, in his bedroom in 2002, Rollo found a way to find his own style and push it further into his music. Born in Denmark, Rollo has been a songwriter and composer since the age of eight and has moved from one genre to another, until he found his way into making electronic music. Rollo's music has a very unique flavour and fusion of downbeat, trip-hop and progressive techno which makes his music very different from others. All songs of Rollo are instrumentals, but he plans experimenting with his voice in early 2003. 2002 will see another release from Rollo, The Scarlet EP, and 2003 will be the year for Rollo's first full-length album, with no working title yet. By the way, Rollo is the founder of Oregano Records."
Why this name?
Rollo has been my nickname for years, so there wasn't any special reason why I chose it.
Do you play live?
It's kinda hard to play my music live because most of it is performed and composed on computers. If I play live, it would have to be something with percussion and drums that there would be focus on. I'm on the groovy train!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure! My biggest dream has always been this, so yes! Right now, I own a record label (Oregano Records), but I would gladly sign to a real label!
Your influences?
Mostly electronic stuff: Jean Michel Jarre, Groove Armada and Brian Eno...a fusion of these.
Favorite spot?
My home in Denmark! It's where I compose all music, so it sure is my favourite spot!
Equipment used:
Nothing but a computer...but I plan buying a synth very soon.
