Excerpts from a concert held at File 7 in 2025.

“Skogen” explores themes of dreams and vast natural landscapes (forests). The story unfolds within organic soundscapes evoking the sprawling forests of Scandinavia, featuring spoken and sung vocals in Swedish and French, classical and electric guitar, traditional flute, and percussion.
“Skogen” invites children to immerse themselves in a unique sonic world. The music introduces young listeners to fresh sounds through the interplay of electric guitar and effects pedals with the raw, crystalline tone of the acoustic guitar, the multifaceted use of the voice (instrumental, sung, and spoken), and the inclusion of a foreign language (Swedish).
Target audience: Ages 3 and up (3–6 years old)
Duration: Approx. 35 minutes
Genre: Dreamlike concert
