As dancefloors across the world fill up once more, Röyksopp have unveiled a perfect euphoric companion This Time, This Place as part of their expansive Profound Mysteries project. This Time, This Place features vocals from creative polymath, conceptualist and film director Beki Mari.

 

“I could only describe working with Royksopp as an out of body experience,” states Mari. “My mind already had the trails of their music burnt-in; little pathways back to very specific memories and so being asked to sing for them filled me with an inimitable feeling. In Norway, in their studio, my voice spanned octaves I didn’t know I had; which was especially interesting as I was still learning how to fly. Working with Svein and Torbjørn was a divine blessing, something I shan’t ever forget.” 

 

Profound Mysteries is an expanded creative universe and prodigious conceptual project brought to life by Röyksopp, featuring a host of audio-visual collaborators. As with every new installment, a visualiser and artefact have been created by contemporary Australian artist Jonathan Zawada, and an accompanying short film ‘The Conversation’ comes from award-winning Danish director Martin De Thurah, a previous Röyksopp collaborator (Do It Again and What Else Is There). 

 

On January 1st, 2022 Röyksopp launched the film (Nothing But) Ashes… and fans were encouraged to Press «R»Alongside the Kasper Häggström-directed short film BJA, a second piece of music, The Ladder, was released.

 

On February 2nd, following the premiere of The Downfall by Marc Reisbig, another chapter was revealed with Impossible featuring Alison Goldfrapp — the first human voice to be heard on Profound Mysteries. A third artefact and visualiser expanded the hyperreal collection. All elements are accessible through the Profound Mysteries portal.
