Hekla

Hekla is an Icelandic theremin player, composer and vocalist. Through her distinctive use of the theremin, she creates a spectral sound world of rarefied melodies, whispering overtones and deep, resonant bass. Moving between modern classical music, ambient and experimental sound art, her compositions intertwine the instrument’s wailing, otherworldly tones with restrained vocal layers. Rooted in the dark and magical atmosphere of Icelandic folklore, Hekla’s music oscillates between fragility and intensity.
