about

The source of music is mysterious. It’s like a hidden language that composers and musicians seek to unveil. Their task is to decode these glimpses of melodies and transform them into something understandable – into music. But to truly understand and tap into this source, one needs magic. When at their best, musicians are like wizards working with this substance, which is often elusive. This perspective on music creation was the inspiration for the album ‘Fragile Magic’

Ingi Bjarni Trio brings together three active musicians from Iceland and the Faroe Islands. Joining Ingi Bjarni, whose full name is Ingi Bjarni Skúlason, are Bárður Reinert Poulsen from the Faroe Islands on double bass, and Icelandic drummer Magnús Trygvason Eliassen. The trio has performed at festivals like Nordic Jazz Comets, Jazzahead (club night), VetrarJazz, Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Reykjavík Jazz Festival, and more. Ingi Bjarni Trio was nominated for the Icelandic Music Awards as jazz performer of the year in 2018!

about

Ingi Bjarni Reykjavik, Iceland

I produce original works which, while informed by jazz tradition, Nordic folksong and electronica, rise up from a wellspring of meticulously-shaped imaginings. You could say that I make my own kind of folk music with the freedom of expressiveness, and space for both lyrical and free improvisation. ... more
