Sivert Høyem - Interview at Fri-Son, Switzerland

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Sivert Høyem during his stop at Fri-Son in Fribourg, Switzerland, on February 26th, 2026. And I can tell you, that witnessing his performance live was something truly special to me. Beyond the stage, this conversation opens a quieter door. We spoke about the landscapes he comes from in Norway - places where beauty and harshness coexist - and how that duality may shape the way emotions are expressed through music. From there, the discussion drifts into more intimate territories: writing songs that feel almost too personal to share, the role of silence, and what remains when everything slows down - no touring, no recording, no noise. And many other subjects. At its core, this is not just about music - it’s about identity, vulnerability, and the invisible threads that connect inner life to sound. Please enjoy this interview and let us know what stayed with you the most. Thanks to Volume 11 for making this interview possible, to Fri-Son for welcoming me so well, and of course, thanks to Sivert Høyem for his time and energy... And MUSIC :)
