HEKLA  "Gjá" Releaseshow + window magic

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 a exclusive in salon wellenmaschine.

“Eerie, wailing sounds over distorted feedback drones… vibrato-heavy harmonies chirrup and throb in agonisingly 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.” 
Pitchfork
