After taking Sardinen by storm in 2022, the vocal magician Juliana Venter is finally back, this time with a full band. What started as a duo project between her and Nilssen-Love has now grown twice as large, with everyone contributing their own material. With highly diverse compositional backgrounds, the resulting musical universe is incredibly exciting, ranging from classical and contemporary music to jazz, free improvisation, and even to silence and noise. Juliana Venter effortlessly moves between world folk music, classical singing, and experimental rock, while Paal Nilssen-Love – Norway's most expressive drummer – has been a regular guest at the festival with both his own projects and as a member of The Thing and Atomic. The brilliant pianist Grönberg is guesting from, among others, the Hanna Paulsberg Concept, and bassist Vågan hails from about half of Norway's best jazz and pop bands.
