ADHD - 9 (2024)

When the Icelandic musicians keyboardist Thomas Jonsson, guitarist and bass player Omar Guojonsson, saxophonist Oskar Guojonsson, and drummer Magnus Trygvason Eliassen are on stage, you will get a sense of how the island people in the very north of Europe have been able to survive the long and icy winters through the centuries - they simply produce their energy out of themselves. This unbridled stream of human vibration, which overrides all perimeters of genre and fascinates jazz fans as much as rock fans and ravers, follows a most ancient human desire, whose non-verbal impulse is older than any language and yet is entirely rooted in the present. The expanse of the cosmos and the infinity of time culminate in this happening of total music, as well as a profound mysticism of free imagination and an unflagging confrontation with contemporary issues.
