"With pyro and great visual effects, this was one of the stage shows that really made an impression"

"in addition to the great music, the lighting should be mentionded. It is rare that the light design is such an important part of a concert. Lighting technician, or might i say magician, Torbjørn Sandnes illuminated the songs in a way that seemed to be made for Sortland church”

"What lifts the concert utterly is Torbjørn Sandnes' exquisite lighting and highly thought through video projections on the large canvas behind Mørk."

"We as individuals disappear into fluttering screens, we are buried in forests of worries, anxiety and neuroses, and our personalities and opinions are obscured and go up in smoke. Something that is well described in the visual design of Torbjørn Thrane Sandnes"

"A visual and musical orgasm with Highasakite.
An enchanting show of class."

"The band brings an impressive backdrop in the form of an insanely good laser show, with Torbjørn Sandnes behind the mixing console. This compliments the band, the music and the atmosphere so well that the concert really would not have been the same without it. Hats off."

"What`s unique with this concert was the spectacular light design. Torbjørn Sandnes used modern technology to occasionally video-projecting live video images of the musicians mixed with various kinds of light “mosaic”.
Rarely tastefully done.
6+ (+ For the light design)"

"We have to talk about the light design, because this was something that really made this a world-class concert experience. With an incredibly tasteful mix of video art and conventional lighting, and razor-sharp precision, it was almost as much a light show as a concert."

"With his light design and visual contribution, Torbjørn Sandnes creates an extra dimension to the concert."

"An animated picture appears on the screen, but suprisingly this transparent screen turns out to be in front of the stage, not behind. This canvas will be an engaging part of the concert.
The visual art both compliments the music and steals attention at the same time."

"Dramatic and nice, with lots of smoke, scenography and rehearsed dance steps. This evening was an ever so small lesson in how your supposed to lit a song. The light designer deserved his salary, as did those who have made the video content.
The eyes are also at the concert, and Highasakite has understood that."

"The band delivers a solid performance and the show is enchanting visually with live images, art and lasers. Magnificent is the key word."
"You can say what you want about tonight's performance, but it was not boring. Absolutely fabulous light show and visual effects as well as songs that just warm up. I`l happily go see Highasakite again."

Highasakite was the band that got to end the festival Saturday night. They did so magically, with both performing arts and hits upon hits.

If there was one who really deserved a standing ovation, it was the lighting designer. You rarely see a more magical and atmospheric light setting.

Spectacular.
With video projections on the walls and an evocative use of light, you got something great to look at.
