We’re surrounded by stacks of guitar pedals, racks of synthesizers, drum machines on windowsills; here is an artist who is wholly indiscriminate, open to use whatever tools necessary to find his musical direction.\n                        \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Mirroring his vast collection, his influences range from Depeche Mode to My Bloody Valentine, industrial to ambient, and his discography is similarly eclectic in style. The common thread? Finding emotion in the darker corners of creativity - his sound has been described as gothic, cinematic, feverish, and sultry, among other things.\n                        \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp class=\"quote\">It’s always hard to tell what your music style is but I try to do songs that have a melancholic vibe, a dreamy vibe - but also with a kind of post-rock attitude to them.\n                        \u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv> \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedias.arturia.net\u002Fimages\u002Fstories\u002Ftrentemoller\u002F03.jpg\" error=\"function(){return function(){}}\" alt=\" \" class=\"img-responsive\">\u003C\u002Fdiv> \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedias.arturia.net\u002Fimages\u002Fstories\u002Ftrentemoller\u002F04.jpg\" error=\"function(){return function(){}}\" alt=\" \" class=\"img-responsive\">\u003C\u002Fdiv> \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\u003Ch2>What the song needs\n                        \u003C\u002Fh2> \u003Cp>Like most artists, Trentemøller notes that music is his main outlet - creatively, emotionally. With this in mind, he treats his process with the utmost respect: if this is his outlet, he has to make it count. \n                        \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp class=\"quote\">Songwriting; that’s definitely the most important part for me.

This is at least partly due to his love of degraded, decaying, distorted sounds, achieved with various combinations from his plethora of noise-making tools.\n                        \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp class=\"quote\">I like making things sound worse, going lo-fi - I really love the textures.\n                        \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Between serving the song, and seeking out his signature sonic darkness, Trentemøller yearns for quick results, intuitively following his creative energy. This often means he gravitates towards instruments & tools that are easy rather than complex.\n                        \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp class=\"quote\">I like gear that's easy to use and easy to get results out of.

With the firmware V5’s addition of sample & granular capabilities, MicroFreak became firmly cemented as a go-to in Trentemøller’s studio.\n                        \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp class=\"quote\">I don’t think you can get another synth that sounds this mad.

The quick results workflow that he needs to conjure mysterious atmospheres; the experimental nature of the instruments and effects, software and hardware, that click with his vibe.\n                        \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp class=\"quote\">What I really love about Arturia stuff is that they very quickly give me a result that I like.
