Envelopes | The Art of Production: Olof Driejer

Envelopes play an essential role in Olof Dreijer's expressive, synth-heavy sound.

Dreijer demonstrates how he uses envelopes—a cycle of attack, decay, sustain and release—to emulate acoustic instruments. "I like it when music has a mix of soft envelopes and slow attacks, and then very fast, more percussive things," he says.

Producer: Sophie Misrahi
Director of Photography: William Engström
Assistant Producer & Editor: Guy Clarke

I have a huge respect for what he and Karin does. I think this is the first time I've heard him speak in english. I love that they are at a stage where they are more open and sharing how they do things. It's fascinating

What a joy and privilege to see Ojof explain his art after what is now decades of listening to his music.
