Oh, well. What is a ball at the castle? Ulf Eriksson, the
brains of the record label Kontra-musik, has invited one
of his favourites to a Sommarscen party at the castle

common thread in the musical creations of Andreas
Tilliander. So also in his latest project, TM404, a lauded
project that has taken him around the world. Here Andreas Tilliander builds warm soundscapes with the help of
classic Roland synths and drum machines. The concert is
