Summartónar: Lív og Tróndur
2023-06-25 15:00 - 16:00 (Europe/London)
From a background of being two individual artists with two different
backgrounds and sounds, when they sing and performe together they
become a symbiose. With their voices and songs they melt into one. Their
music is gentle, emotional and they always have a story to tell. When
hearing their unique sound it's easy to imagine the North Atlantic sea,
green mountains and a rainy foggy day. A mix of folk and pop.
Lív and Tróndur have played concerts many places the last years. In
Milano, Barcelona, Iceland, Sweeden, Norway and Denmark. In the
moment they are working on new material.

James Bond Concert
2022-11-18 20:00 - 21:30 | SALT, Líðin 22, Tvøroyri, 800, Faroe Islands
“Shaken, not stirred”, please.
Since the release of the first film in 1962, a total of 27 James Bond films have been shown in movie theaters across the world. Based on novels by Ian Fleming, the films have also become famous because of the music. Most people are probably familiar with the James Bond theme song from “Dr. No” (1962) as well as “Diamonds Are Forever”, which Shirley Bassey so elegantly sang in 1971. Not to mention “No Time To Die”, the most recent film featuring our very own Kallsoy. These songs – and many more – will be performed live for the first time in the Faroe Islands featuring some of the best musicians. So dust off your shoes, find that tuxedo, put on your stilettos, and meet us on the red carpet for an evening with cocktails and spectacular music.
Singers: Edith Dahl Jakobsen and Guðrun Sólja Jacobsen
Guitar: Allan Tausen
Bass: Kristoffer Mørkøre
Drums: Jan Rúni Poulsen
Piano: Bjarni Lisberg

This new quartet brings together four prolific musicians from four different countries in the North.
The rather unusual combination of instruments – drums, bass, saxophone and bass clarinet/steel
guitar – opens up for sonic possibilities, that are seldom before heard. The musicians are brought
together by their love for jazz, and the freedom it gives, and the more melodically driven pop
music.
The musicians are otherwise known from bands such as: Jaga Jazzist, ADHD, Espen Berg Trio,
Megalodon and many more.

Whispering Cairns
Impro music, electronic music embracing classical chamber music with love. We get lost in surreal soundscapes and float through spherical soundclouds, but the cairns show their way. The cairns are rocks stacked on top of each other by human hands through the centuries. They stand as whispering sculptures in a barren and desolate
landscape and save the wander from the abyss and the certain death. The cairns are the mark for the one who walks in the mountains when the fog suddenly comes or when darkness conceals the alluring beautiful but dramatic and fateful rock landscape.

Hjertelyd - Baby opera - 2nd showing
2022-06-11 11:15 - 12:00 | SALT, Líðin 22, Tvøroyri, 800, Faroe Islands
HjerteLyd is an opera for babies 0-2.5 years old and their parents.
HjerteLyd brings you into a scenery filled with colors and music, where the movements and sounds of the children become a part of the performance.
The audience sits in a circle around the small scene, where the children without effort can crawl on to the stage and interact with the musicians and the props.
No linguistic demands are from neither the children or the adults in order to experience the opera, as it is being performed by playing with sounds and words in different languages. Also children who yet are not able to speak have the possibility to experience with their whole body and all their senses.
HjerteLyd is a unique opportunity for the youngest to experience a musical and sensuous experience. An artistic journey into the land of music for the tiniest ears.
The performance focuses on making the experience easy, simpel and magnificent for the audience – both children and adults. HjerteLyd creates the wondrous room where all people in all sizes can meet art and culture – physically, sensuous and interactive.
No demands are for participating. Both children and adults with and without cultural experiences are more than welcome.

Trio Svin - Folk-rock
2022-05-14 20:00 - 22:00 | SALT, Líðin 22, Tvøroyri, 800, Faroe Islands
Tunge grooves, hårrejsende hastigheder og tøjlesløs energi.
Som en modstandsbevægelse til den smukke nordiske folkemusik kæmper Trio Svin en brav kamp om at gøre verden til et lidt grimmere
sted én koncert af gangen. Som at kradse et myggestik, eller gå med en sten i skoen, der gør ondt på den gode måde, føles Trio Svin bare
fantastisk, selvom det er lidt forbudt at elske dem.
Med glimt i øjet, en vanvidsagtig musikalsk tilgang, masser af smart-i-en-fart attitude og en base solidt plantet i nordisk og amerikansk folkemusik udfylder Trio Svin et behov ingen vidste at de havde.
Som en røvfuld hvor der ikke er blevet sparet på tandsmøret – katharsis i folkemusikform.
Deres kompromisløse, rå og autentiske attitude resulterede 2015 i en nominering ved DMA folk som “årets talent” og igen i 2020 ved DMA roots. Trio Svin har spillet koncerter i Danmark, Sverige, Finland og internationalt vand.
Besætningen er: Magnus Heebøll Jacobsen på slagtøj, Søren Vinther Røgen på guitar og Thyge Søndertoft van Dassen på violin.
Diskografi: “Ornernes Magt” (2014), Sved og Frygt
Div. udtalelser:
DMF Tonelege:
“Lige fra den første tone blev slået an, stod det klart, at et genialt samspil, en høj intensitet og masser af smil skulle blive kodeordene for den næste halve times oplevelse. At alle tre medlemmer er meget dygtige instrumentalister blev kun understreget af de overlegne ’overraskelser’ og breaks.”
Lars Lind, Lira:
“Danske Trio Svin spiller som om hver melodi var deres sidste. “Folkrock” er en mangelvare i dag, så det gælder om at tage vare på det der dukker op. De tre unge mænd spiller som om det gjaldt livet selv, det er bare at hænge med.”
Harry Eucrow, Konfront:
“Følgende bliver en halv times vanvids-ekstravaganza. […] Teknikken fejler adskillige gange, og trio’en er tydeligvis mere interesserede i at have en fest end at spille perfekt, men alt dette højner kun stemningen. Da svinene går af er det til en storm af buh-råb og kastede shotglas, og de kvitterer med at give fingeren til publikum og sige: ”Thank you, fuck you all!” Det er kunst.”
Per Dyrholm, Rootszone:
“Bandet præsenterede hårdtslående folkrock med humor og selvironi, og deres energiudladninger smittede af på en del af publikum, der ”headbangede” fra allerforreste rækker. Måske et sjældent syn på folkscenen, men Trio Svin var både underholdende og velspillende.“
Maj Øvlisen, Jydske Vestkysten:
“Forargende!? Forfærdeligt!? Fantastisk!? […] Blandt det ældre publikum breder smilene sig samtidig med, at de forvirrede øjne består: Dét, der foregår, er så langt fra noget andet på årets festival, og alligevel er der en velkendt violin og glimt af en politisk sarkasme, som vi kender. […] Det er tydeligt, at en vigtig del af trioens mål er at ruske op i folk, flytte nogle grænser.”

Dopplers´ goal is to innovate the traditional concert having a specific focus on communicative performance through introductions, choreographies and audience participation. The group composes and arranges a great amount of their repertoire though they also incorporate known pieces and compositions.
In October 2021 Dopplers released their new CD called NORD with original music and new arrangements of Nordic folk music. The lyrics are in the Nordic languages: Faroese, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian. The concert will be a live-performance of NORD.
The Faroese multi-artist Heiðrikur á Heygum created and designed the artwork on NORD. Among other things it will be possible to purchase a poster with Heiðrik´s artwork after the concert.
