5 star review in Berlingske Tidene
The Splendor – Delphian Palace
Last spring, in a cottage on the swedish west coast, Lisen Rylander´s The Splendor and I spent a few days recording.
The outcome of these sessions became the album “Delphiand Palace”. Mixed in a rather untraditional manner, in Copenhagen in september.
Lisen Rylander – Saxophones/Electronics, Josef Kallerdahl – Bass, Fabian Kallerdahl – Keyboards, Lars Källfelt – Drums
I mixed a very nice electro-improvised album this summer. Duo Midaicondo team up with drummer Michala Østergaard-Nielsen and make faboulous sounds!
Helsingborgs Dagblad says “A forty-minute improvisation that probably get both Bjork and Laurie Anderson to raise an eyebrow”

Brecon Jazz Festival, Review
My gig at the Brecon Jazz Festival got reviewed by the Guardian:
“Pitch Black, by Jasper Høiby’s acoustic trio Phronesis, was extraordinary. After the opening number, all doors were sealed and the lights went down, obliging us to concentrate on nothing but vivid, 3D sound, beautifully mixed by August Wanngren. This triumphant concert was dedicated to Høiby’s sister, who lost her sight five years ago. There will be another chance to experience this at the London Jazz festival in November.”
