We have played together a lot, but it has always been in larger ensembles. Now the time had come to investigate what happens when we with our different instruments, ideas, musical taste and experience compose new duo-music, with nyckelharpa and drums/percussion/bass.

Olov’s vigorous and swinging Nyckelharpa-playing together with Anders’ amazing arrangements and responsive playing on Baroque Organ and Piano has grown together and refined over the years. It’s swinging, mighty, and full of finesse, surprises and humor.

Väsen-Duo, Mikael Marin and Olov Johansson have, after 37 years of interaction and touring, refined their sound and their stage presence to the extent that today they are unique in their kind. With their playful and perfect interplay, they seem to defy the laws of physics in what appears to be a telepathic communication.

Olov Johansson, Robert Larsson and Erika Lindgren Liljenstolpe are old friends from the Uppland region but their first recording MASKIN was released in June 2017. They offer sparkling fiddle playing in the Uppland tradition.
