SØS Gunver Ryberg is an award-winning composer and sound artist. She creates ground-breaking electronic music of powerful and atmospheric textures, persisting rhythms and timbres that open our consciousness to new dimensions.

Alexis Rodríguez Cancino runs the electronic music label blundar. Since its inception, blundar has released a string of albums by artists working in the experimental field bordering techno and sub-genres of dance music. The label’s catalogue so far is a carefully curated vision of atmospheric manipulations in sound.

Jørgen Teller will present the premiere the new work, "Rails in Haze". A celebration of Lockstallarna's unique rayon of rusty rails. Listen to the specially tuned timbres of motorized electric guitar-strings, metallic percussion, commanding voices, field-sounds and pulsating bass-synth-lines.

All of a sudden he stands there! Who is he and what does he wants. He will tell you his story as a navvy, when he built Lokstallarna all by him self and singing some songs from his career as an entertainer. But what is the truth about this person? Who is behind the mask.
Matthias Hahne Thorbjörnsson is a professional actor, working freelance and running his own theatre in Malmö.

Elise Brewer works within the expanded field of contemporary dance and choreography. Her work often takes place in public urban spaces where the interest lies in investigating performative aspects of those specific sites to give resonance to the multitude of desires, values and needs that they hold and that could unfold. This as a response to the growing tendency of privatization of commonly owned resources that subsumes the development of cities under singular values of economic growth.
For Sonic Picnic she will create a dance piece/dance portrait alongside the specific site through the use of text, dance, gestures, positions and steps.

The vibrations and spirits, inhabiting the surroundings of the deserted railway tracks, lays the grounds for this premiere presentation of a site specific, quadrophonic composition by Jakob Riis.
Jakob Riis is a composer of electro-acoustic music, and a pioneering laptop musician, of uncompromising and sonically enhanced musical expressions. He lives and works in Malmö since 2005.
