Kjetil Husebø works with a carefully selected combination of acoustic instruments, synthesizers, samplers and effects. Both hardware and software.
His setup brings together grand piano, analog and digital synthesizers, modular effects, and advanced controllers, allowing him to shape sound in real time. High-quality monitoring and studio tools ensure precision, while a wide range of software instruments and processing environments give him a flexible and exploratory workspace. This hybrid setup forms the foundation for both his studio productions and live performances.
