Stundum, a new jazz ensemble inspired by bebop and folk music.

Although they just started their journey, they have already begun to make waves in Iceland's vibrant music scene.

Their sound features unique odd time rhythms combined with tasteful melodies, creating a style that’s both engaging and easy to listen to.

They love improvisation, weaving stories through our performances and inviting the audience to experience the journey with them.

All of their music is original and composed by our band members.

Tjant’s latest release is titled “ógreiða”. Tjant (Heðin Ziska Davidsen - guitar, synths and electronics, Mikael Blak - bass, synths and electronics and Per Ingvaldur Højgaard Pedersen - drums, drum programming) conceived this music on stage over a period of about 4 years and then recorded it and produced it to a record and now the group is using this music on stage as improvisational material.“Ógreiða” is the Faroese word for entropi, which refers to the degree of disorder or randomness in a system.

A New Voice Rises at OY

On Friday evening, August 8th, Jógvan takes the stage at OY for the very first time.

Freshly graduated with a Master’s degree from the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen, Jógvan has focused deeply on Faroese traditions in his work. In his latest compositions, he has written and shaped new ballads (kvæði), where he weaves together elements of both Faroese and Greenlandic heritage.His current project, Ríkisfelagsskapurin (The Commonwealth), explores this cultural interplay through sound. The music takes on a minimalist character, where repetition and drones form a distinct sonic identity — a journey across landscapes and legacies, carried by tone and texture.

Joining him on stage are:

• Andreas Tykjær Restorff

• Tróndur Bogason

Forget what you know about polka.

Die færøsche Polkaband brings brass-fueled chaos, Viking charm, and dance-worthy beats with no apologies (or accordions). Think screaming trumpets, growling trombones, and musical mayhem loud enough to wake your ancestors. Bring your friends, your dancing shoes (or don’t), and get ready for a polka-powered party you won’t forget.

Die færøsche Polkaband – Brass, Sass, and Zero Class (In the Best Way Possible).

The award-winning Iggy Pop certified bisexual vegan shitpunks, Joe & The Shitboys, formed with the intention of calling out shitty behaviour by boneless homophobes, meat-eating misogynists - and general vibe killers everywhere.

The live shows are full of energy, with a barrage of songs often under a minute long, like “Drugs R’4 Kidz”, "Save the Planet You Dumb Shit" and “If You Believe in Eating Meat, Start With Your Dog”, being broken up by the flamboyant Joe roasting the audience relentlessly. The band has played every local venue there is, from G! Festival and the Faroese Music Awards - where they won Band of the Year - to DIY gigs on roof tops, public toilets, underground tunnels, museums and skateparks. Their heavy touring schedule has taken them throughout Europe and Canada, and they always manage to shock the crowd, only to later have them dancing to their infectious music.

Unci dunci trinci

Fabio Bonvicini og Gianluca Magnani

‍

After hundreds of concerts followed around Italy, the fixed participation in the television broadcast "Tana libera libri" on IcaroTv, and the great editorial success of "Albero bell'albero" (Corsieroeditore), the two musicians from Emilia return with "Unci dunci trinci": new book, cd and show focused on the repertoire of songs, music, rhymes and folk tale of origin mainly addressed to children in the age range 3-8.

The concert is a big smoothie of stories, music, nursery rhymes, popular counts, played with ancient instruments, modern and often curious. Diatonic accordeon, guitars, ocarine, flutes, whistles, bagpipe, jiggered, mascelled donkey, drumming… Popular music returns to children’s thrills, emotions and rediscovery of their roots.

Among the many songs that are performed during the concert we can find: "At the fair of Mastr'André ", "Fly and mora", "The fairy tale", "The sheep is in the forest" and many other songs of the popular repertoire.

"UNCI DUNCI TRINCI" is an invitation not to desist from drawing new paths in the dangerous and friend sea of sound and chant dedicated to - still virgin and fresh - approaches for the first time to music.
