By a thread

Thomas Andersson is a musician and storyteller, a central figure in the oral narrative tradition of Västerbotten. In his own work "När vår Herre gjorde Bygdsiljum och allt det andra", he draws from childhood Sunday school lessons - the ones that shaped his worldview. With violin and largely in dialect, we humorously learn that God actually started from Bygdsiljum when creating the world.

Andersson has worked with words and music since the late 1980s.
