History

Berglöf was previously a member of early Goa group Subcouds and at around the same time Elster had started musical production on an Amiga. After meeting, the pair decided to start studio recordings as Vibrasphere in June 1998.

Elster left the group half a year after the release of their second album, Lime Structure, due to constant touring. He was temporarily replaced by Baekelmans and together with Berglöf they continued both touring and studio recording. In 2005 Elster rejoined the group, leaving Berglöf still in charge of touring duties. Baekelmans left the band in 2009 to record and tour alone as Pitsnake.

Their fourth album, Exploring the Tributaries (2007), took a few more leaps towards progressive, fading the barriers between trance and house music while also featuring dub, downbeat and ambient tracks.

In November 2010, Vibrasphere announced it was disbanding.[3]
