HEKLA  "Gjá" Releaseshow

In the organizer's words:

Hekla is a rare specialist of the theremin, a notoriously inscrutable electronic instrument, joining a miniscule group of musicians in mastery of its esoteric mysteries. Classically informed, her playing covers an enormous range, from skittering birdsong of chirrups and chirps to tectonic sub-bass. Her fans in the wider music community - PJ Harvey, for example - describe her style alongside musicians such as Colleen, Julia Holter or the late Jóhann Jóhannsson.

Icelandic Theremin Musician Hekla released two albums in 2025: The acclaimed album Turnar and her actual EP Gjá (10.12.2025)
Now she is touring Europe and visits Berlin on April 2nd 2026 to play an exclusive in salon wellenmaschine.

"Eerie, wailing sounds over distorted feedback drones... vibrato-heavy harmonies chirrup and throb in agonizingly slow motion."
The Guardian, Album of the Month

"Cinematic... carefully orchestrated... delicately explores unfamiliar territory with uncanny finesse."
The Wire

'I've never heard a theremin played so well.'
Iggy Pop, BBC 6 Music

"Hekla Magnúsdóttir plumbs the theremin's weird, otherworldly depths, channeling a particularly contemporary bleakness that tethers it firmly to the 21st century. "
