The musical dramatist Glenn Erik Haugland had in En Som Sang* (Lonesome Song) challenged texts by Heidi Tronsmo, texts hiding eerie perspectives under an innocent surface. Not just a single story was told here. Between points existed lines that could be drawn as an afterthought. Along Haugland’s dualistic and swiftly changing vocal lines the monophonic became polyphone.
