Hello guys, thanks for taking the time to participate with this interview.
1) Please guys, state your full names
Rickard Berglöf & Robert Elster
2) How long has the Vibrasphere project been together ?
Since summer of 1998, so close to 10 years now.
3) What was, to you, your first biggest hit ?
For sure the downbeat track San Pedro that we did back in 2000.
4) Vibraspherehas been riding the label, Digital Structures, from the start of therecarreer. What has pushed you guys towards Tribal Vision ?
Wellwe actually change label once before from Spiral trax to DigitalStructures, but after 3 albums on Digital Structures we wanted to trysomething new that is why we switched to Tribal Vision.
5) Can we expect to see lots more of Vibrasphere on Tribal Vision ?
Yeah hopefully we will have another release on this label before the end of this year, but that is still to be confirmed.
6) Finally,we have managed to find a date for you guys here in Montreal, Canada.How do you feel about coming to play at the Eclipse Festival ?
Reallygood actaully. I have heard a lot of good things about this festivaland I am sure it will fulfill my expecations with great environment andvery nice people. Just to clear one thing it will only be me (Rickard)coming for this gig as Robert is still not up for the long haul flightsjust yet.
7) Please clear up the situation with what prevented you guys from playing at last years Eclipse Festival.
Lastsummer I (Rickard) could not come since my daughter was born around thedate of the festival. The booking was closed long before I even knew mywife was pregnant so this is why we had to cancel this gig.
8) What are the odds of hearing my favorite tracks, Monsoon + Echo Plantation at the Eclipse Festival this year ?
Idoubt we will ever play Monsson again, but we are actaully currentlyworking on a remix of Echo Plantation so hopefully that one will be inthe new live set.
9) What time during the festival would be, in your opinion, the best time for Vibrashpere.
Easy! Morning time for the trance live and early evening for the Chillout live.
10) What can we expect from you guys during your LIVE set ? new stuff, old stuff, new new stuff ? 
Wewill spend the next two months working on the new liveset, but since weare celebrating 10 years of Vibrasphere this year I think for sure weare going to mix up some older stuff with some of the more recentmaterial.
11) In the studio, what do you guys use to compose your music ?
Mac Pro running Logic 8, Moog voyager, Roland 303, Good compressor microphone and loads of Plug-ins.
12) Do you always make music together, in the same room ? or do you work seperatly ?
Wealways make the music in the Cloud 99 studio where we have worked forover 10 years now, but of course we take turns when we work on a track.However most of the arranging we do together.
13) If you could remix any track in the world, what would it be ?
Probably some track by Kraftwerk or perhaps a Depeche mode song.
14) Youguys have came along way since the ECHO album.. what made Vibraspheretake a more melodic trance turn as apose to the original, darker sound ?
Wellwe still like to make even some darker songs, but our goal has neverbeen to stay static in some sound so the future will keep on seeing usevolving our sound in and out of different styles and genres.
15) If you could release your music on any label, which one would you choose and why ?
Would be very nice to do an album on one of the majors provided that they picked us up for the music we have done.
16) Who has been your biggest musical influence?
Forme (Rickard) Depeche mode was my biggest inspiration up until the mid90´s. Robert grew up more on straight electronic music by the end ofthe 90´s.
Thanks so much guys for your feedback. Good luck at the Eclipse festival and knock us dead !!
We will try our best for sure…..see ya!
