So, does anyone know exactly what the great Trickster uses to create the beautiful dark that we all enjoy? Ive been wondering what instrument (certain type of keyboard perhaps?) to conceive such great sounds. Oh, and Im referring to Perdition City and everything after (especially Lyckantropen Themes because it is magnificent). If anyone could tell me what is being used, it would be muchly appreciated.

I'd say an array of various really expensive synthesizers, computers and effect boxes, excepting saxophones, pianos, guitars etc of course... It's not like there's a single "Instant Ulver, just add water" device...
You sick bastard! Pictures from the composing/recording of Lyckantropen themes can be found here:

Not easy to make out much of it, but at least there are some pictures of the equipment used (as well as the "wolves" themselves
.
Also a short clip from "1st decade of Ulver" for those of you with QuickTime:

Seems that the video files are on rotation, and that the Kveldssanger file was recently removed. Anyway, here is a transcription of what is said during the short clip:
The clip opens with a shot of the CD cover and the text "Kveldsfanger '95" beneath. Note the spelling.
Garm: "I'm not sure what the popular term would be. But I guess it would fall into the, you know, the new wave, kind of, amateurish neo-classical genre. I think that had something to do with, you know, just wanting to explore a certain esthetic that was, that was incorporated into the black metal format. So, so, so at that time, I don't think the grand, kind of, metamorphosis that happened later was, kind of, you know, that wasn't envisioned at that time."
Btw, someone was requesting Synen in another thread. I can't help with that one. The site ulver.cjb.net used to have it, but the link is now dead. In stead, those of you still missing Vargnatt, can download it from here (lower right corner of the page):

There's also an mp3 of a Vargnatt rehearsal (rather low quality). Might be some other interesting stuff as well. (I'm not in any way affiliated with this site.)
