Can you tell me a bit about the studios where you recorded the album?
Ihsahn: Most of the album, I recorded it at Symphonique Studio, which we have at home. Basically it's a digital set-up with a Steinberg Nuando being the main recorder and sequencer. We've got loads of synths and an outboard. I recorded everything there and then brought it to Jukejoint Studio in Notodden. Mnemosyne Productions has shares in the studio. So I went there to mix it, to get a new perspective but also to take advantage of all the analogue gear they have there. It's all from the '50s, '60s and '70s. For studio enthusiasts, you can find most of the classics there! The mixer I mixed it on was originally from Stax Studio in Memphis. That has a legacy too, I suppose. It's good old analogue gear. It was good to have that different set-up. Maybe next time I will do it the other way round: record it there and mix it at home.
