Ingibjörg Turchi & vinir

Þann 24.janúar næstkomandi, kl. 21 stígur Ingibjörg Elsa Turchi á stokk í Mengi ásamt hljómsveit sinni. Leikin verða lög af fyrstu EP plötu Ingibjargar, Wood/Work í bland við lög samin á staðnum. Miðaverð 2.000 krónur.

Ingibjörg ætti að vera tónlistarunnendum vel kunn en hún er tónlistarkona og lagahöfundur sem er þó þekktust fyrir leik sinn á bassa. Ingibjörg fer yfir mörk og mæri og spilar popp og tilraunatónlist, plokkar gígjuna með Soffíu Björgu og Teiti, liðsinnir neðanjarðartónlistarmönnum eins og Special K og Indriða og kemur fram á böllum með Stuðmönnum og Boogie Trouble. Svo fátt eitt sé nefnt.

Frumraun hennar undir eigin nafni, EP platan Wood/Work kom út haustið 2017 og hlaut glimrandi dóma. Tónlist Ingibjargar er heillandi og fléttar áreynslulaust saman laglínur og hljóð með þar sem bassar, gítarar og rafhljóð leika sér saman.

Með henni verða hin frábæru: Hróðmar Sigurðsson, Magnús Trygvason Eliassen, Tumi Árnason og Guðrún Veturliðadóttir.

Þau spiluðu á síðustu Iceland Airwaves-hátíð og má lesa nokkra hápunkta hér:

“I did manage to move my way up to the front finally to watch Ingibjörg Turchi and her band create luscious, hypnotizing soundscapes defying the boundaries of genre and raising the bar on musicianship.” RB Reykjavik Grapevine

[...]Ingibjörg played the bass and did so in a splendid way. Her band was incredibly tight and the drummer was exceptional. The music was well conceived, and both accessible and experimental. VG Reykjavik Grapevine

[...]Ingibjörg Turchi’s virtuosic ensemble played a set of warm, charming instrumental music that hovered between jazz, post-rock, formal composition and improvisation. It was free-flowing and hypnotic, from Ingibjörg’s finger-picked bass melodies, to Magnús Elías Trygvason’s startling and creative approach to percussion (how does his mind see all those spaces for sounds?), to Tumi Árnason’s sparing and sometimes soaring saxophone passages. The band were so engaged in their performance that when the rapturous applause finally came, they looked almost surprised, like they’d drifted off into a collective trance and had been snapped back into reality.
