Korridor, welcome to TheThinBlackLine.

“Thank you, looking forward.”

So Lets begin, What influenced you to become part of the scene?

“Techno and all the other music genres has been a great part of my life since the millenium. Few years ago I started to notice a great deal of change in the techno scene from what it previosly had been. The sound was different, the mentality was different and the people interested in techno had also changed. This opened the door for me that I had been waiting for all the time, a real experimental music loving crowd. Ive been making music for a long time but sometimes you just wait for that special moment when you know that you can start to be productive about that sound/project that you’ve maybe had in your head for years. I must say also mention that it was aswell a question of getting older. With time comes experience and after a certain time you do more consicous choises and I know Korridor was a result of that. It’s not just music, theres a very clear filosophical vision, for me thats a good reason for being part of the scene/anything.”

So moving on from your influences you must have a drive of passion for electronic music?

“I really like the fact that you can with little stuff do really big, or really small things. Electronic hardware open new doors to sounds that would have never existed within the acoustic world, I like to combine the two thought. I remember hearing techno for the first time as a child, it gave me visions of the future and make me think of science-fiction and that was and still is a big passion.”

Can you describe your journey, Korridor, and how you came across it?

“Basicly the sound of Korridor is a neverending reverb inside a long hall with perfect symmetrical patters forming rhythems”. I speak in metafors, which is important. This is how the Korridor project came up. You inspire yourself to create visions that you can link to the sounds you are going to make or that you know how to make to sound like the vision. It does not work for all music projects but the visual meaning of the name Korridor (Corridor in english) really is inpiering.” 

“It was only a question of time untill I would start a deeper techno project. I had already been doing it for many years but without a real goal, but even without a goal you can still create, explore and learn.”

We hear similar sounds coming from a few artists across Sweden. Do we take it that this is was Sweden, and certainly Stockholm is all about? Is this the main sound thats floating around the underground club scene at the moment? 

“Techno is on a rising up again, everywhere. I would say deeper music overall has caught the attention of many, this has cultural connections as society changes and new generations enter the market, and it’s not only happening in Sweden it’s happening all over the western society. People are generally interested in deep music and want to know about the labels, artists, the records, the clubs etc. This opens the doors for artists like myself to actually play the deepest and most ghost haunting sounds anywear. If you grow up to it, if its your first club experience, you will never forgest it.

Korridor is also a live artist aswell, what are you using for your sets and whats your process for producing your live elements?

“I use any source that is capable of producing many high quality variations at the same time. Basicly its a laptop, 2x midicontrollers, Let me explain how this livesession that I made for you was done. Basicly it was my friend playing maybe 5 different drums and I was techno jamming on it, building the liveset from nothing. The result was awesome and total trance and totally, Korridor.”
