Øyunn (DK/NO) + Blister Pearl (NO)

Blister Pearl (NO)

Blister Pearl is a young, eclectic, beat-driven quartet that performs compositions by saxophonist Åsne Fossmark. With melodic saxophone playing, dreamy synth sounds, and a distinct drum-and-bass-driven beat as its foundation, the band draws inspiration from jazz, hip-hop, electronica, and the Berlin underground scene. The result sounds like hypnotic neon clouds, transporting you to a place you didn’t know you needed to be.

The band is a star-studded lineup of four young, exciting musicians who, in addition to Blister Pearl, play in bands such as the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, Veslemøy Narvesen, Giuseppe Martini, MadMax, and When I Return.

GHOST DOG is Blister Pearl’s debut album, released digitally and physically on Pluritone Records on October 2, 2026. The album has received positive reviews in the Norwegian media.

Line-up:

Åsne Ausen Fossmark (tsax, voc, kom, eng teks), Anna Ueland (keys, synth, voc), Eskil Foyn Bruntvedt (elb), Elias Green Baadsvik (tr)

Øyunn (DK/NO)

“Øyunn is in a league of her own. Mesmerizing beats. Impressive flow and feeling. She’s ethereal and down-to-earth at the same time.” All That (DK) The Norwegian, Copenhagen-based drummer, vocalist, and rapper delivers expressive and dynamic live performances and is described as a bold songwriter with a knack for catchy hooks. In July 2026, she teamed up with Trentemøller, who created a rework of her track “Feed The Good.” The collaboration follows the release of her second album, I Know U Can Do It (2025), a fresh blend of breakbeats, rap, powerful vocals, analog synthesizers, and groove-driven energy. In recent years, she has performed under her own name at festivals such as Roskilde Festival, SPOT, Øhavet, the Northern Norway Festival (NO), Musik i Lejet, Jazz Juniors (PL), and Vossajazz.

In 2022, she created the audiovisual work Aspects at the Ultima Festival, where she played the role of Rosa. The following year, she released the music as a live album and subsequently won several awards – including the Danish Music Awards 2024 for New Jazz Artist of the Year and the Tivoli Jazz Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year for “her genre-defying and unique voice as a composer, drummer, and vocalist.” As a drummer, she has collaborated on albums and live performances with artists such as Nils Frahm, Sam Gendel, Bugge Wesseltoft, Efterklang, and Guldimund.

Her artistic expression is characterized by a strong stage presence, rhythmic precision, and a willingness to explore new forms of expression.
