He's simply singing while playing, which is not terribly difficult to do (except of course when your fingers are moving a million miles an hour, as in the video). But then it's Martin Fröst, who does easily what the rest of the world finds impossible.
Start by singing a monotone and then add the clarinet. Since clarinetists do just one thing at a time, it's not easy to keep two things going, but pianists do it all the time, not to mention Rahsaan Roland Kirk http://www.last.fm/music/Rahsaan+Roland+Kirk/+images/28126305. And pipe organists play one voice in the left hand, a second in the right, a third split between left and right and a fourth with their feet on the pedals.
I can sing and play, but I can't come close to growling, Cootie Williams style, to get the voice and clarinet tone to merge.
