An Evening of Deep Listening & Togetherness
Immerse yourself in a candlelit musical experience. Deepening our connection to the music, the moment, and to each other. This Grounding Session blends live acoustic expression with spacious electronic textures, unfolding as a gentle, evolving journey through atmosphere and emotion.
At the center of the evening is presence: the feeling of being right here, right now, carried by sound and frequencies.
Program
18:00 – Ambient Set
A meditative opening created in collaboration by the evening’s musicians. Layered tones, minimalistic textures, and slow-moving soundscapes that prepare the body and mind for deeper listening.
19:00 – Kristoffer Birkedal
Singer and songwriter Kristoffer Birkedal brings raw honesty through voice and guitar. His music is grounded in lyrical storytelling and folk music. Warm, intimate, and deeply human. With a gentle presence and an ear for melody, Kristoffer sets a tone of vulnerability and openness that invites the room to settle in.
20:00 – Jacob Roots
The night culminates in an immersive performance from Jacob Roots blending live instruments, spoken words, and rich electronic production.
Jacob Roots, shaped by both Norwegian and Jamaican heritage, crafts a borderless sound rooted in folk, reggae, dub, ambient, and minimalistic electronic music. His approach draws on Nordic melodic sensibilities and Caribbean/African rhythmic traditions, merging them into atmospheric, grounding soundscapes inspired by artists like Rhythm & Sound, Bremer/McCoy, Rôyksopp, Lee Scratch Perry, and Robert Glasper. His Grounding Session concept encourages the audience to slow down, sink in, and connect.
