Guldimund^DK

It was hard to get through the crowd around the tent when Guldimund visited Roskilde Festival in 2023. Shortly before, Asger Nordtorp Pedersen, who hides behind the moniker, had released the masterpiece Jeg venter i lyset, which quickly transformed him from a critically acclaimed indie songwriter to one of the most important voices in contemporary Danish music. 

With this album and the many concerts that followed, Guldimund has managed to embrace artistic ambitions, deep musicality and popular appeal with a series of songs that are both brilliantly poetic and deeply relatable in their vivid depictions of lived life. Both critics and audiences have embraced Guldimund to such an extent that several of his songs are already considered new classics in Danish music.

Guldimund has a rare ability to elevate the poetry of his songs with rich orchestral arrangements that draw on indie, Nordic folk music and chamber music techniques, but his talent as a skilled pop craftsman is also evident in hits such as “Storebæltsbroen” and “Vil du noget?”. 

The latter was created in collaboration with Danish singer Saveus and points towards a new album, where Guldimund has opened up the songwriting process in collaboration with a number of other artists. An exciting new chapter for the masterful songwriter, and we look forward to experiencing the new songs when Guldimund returns to Roskilde Festival this summer.
