Dj for the night was Albin Johansson, and he played an important role creating the mood we mentioned above.
First up on stage was the technical freak and great soundscaper James Brewster, who created dreamy, intricate sounds, beginning with recorded steps in the snow.
Then Deborah Dinauta entered. A singer and songwriter originally from Italy, performing two of her songs. This was the first time ever she played guitar on stage. Promising.
The Balladeer il Absurdo, Patrik Högberg made us all laugh and think with his rough and well-carpented songs, with titles such as Oidipus 2000.
After a short break we were back with a poetry performance by Sussanne Olvéus. About light syrup and white snow a sun rising and steps sticking.
Blues man Albin Roslund followed. With great guitar picking and deep blue vocals. He ended his set with a chearful sing-a-long about a duck.
Next up was an experimental artist from Iceland named Örn. He started singing. Then he started again. And again. Not coming further than the first word. After 20 minutes and a lot of laughing from the audience he had come to the third word, creating the sentence ”I… want… to…”. Just as the atmosphere was getting a bit too tensed, he finished his performance.
After that a brave young man seized the opportunity and jumped on to the open stage, or carpet if you prefer. Matti Nilsson tied the night together with two new songs of his. Thin-skinned and exquisite with personal lyrics in Swedish and a distinguishing falsetto.
