Flat Bop Heads to Norway!
The rumors are true: Flat Bop is heading to Norway this September to record our brand-new album.
We’re deep in the creative process and can’t wait to capture these new sounds in the studio. While we’re tracking the music this autumn, the official release is slated for early 2027.
Stay tuned for studio updates and sneak peeks from the North!
FALKENBERG - Hybrid drumset
This album is the culmination of four years spent developing a custom hybrid drum kit. Through Ableton Live and piezo triggers, acoustic sounds are transformed into complex electronic textures in real-time, making the computer a reactive, living bandmate.
Recorded in a church to harness its massive natural reverb, the project explores the full dynamic range—from dry, glitchy electronics to thunderous acoustic strikes. Inspired by pioneers like Ian Chang and Magnus Öström, this is a new vision for the drum kit in 2026: where technology becomes a natural extension of the body.
