Bassaleikarinn Sigmar Þór Matthíasson gaf út sína þriðju sóló plötu síðastliðið haust. Platan, sem nefnist "Uneven Equator", er einskonar rökrétt en þó sjálfstætt framhald af hans síðustu plötu "Meridian Metaphor", þar sem söngur og strengjahljóðfæri bætast við og stækka þannig hljóðheiminn - nútíma jazz sen blandast við austræna heimstónlist á frumlegan hátt.

Hljómsveit Sigmars hefur komið fram víða um land undanfarin 5 ár og hlaut Íslensku tónlistarverðlaunin árið 2022 sem Flytjandi ársins (hópar) í flokki Jazz & Blús tónlistar. Auk þess hlaut verkefnið nýverið tvennar tilnefningar til Íslensku tónlistarverðlaunanna 2025 fyrir plötu og tónverk ársins. Á tónleikunum mun hljómsveitin flytja efni af báðum áðurnefndum plötum. Að auki er ekki útilokað að glænýtt efni gæti fengið að hljóma.

Hljómsveit:
Ásgeir Ásgeirsson - oud
Haukur Gröndal - klarinett
Ingi Bjarni Skúlason - píanó
Magnús Trygvason Eliassen - trommur
Sigmar Þór Matthíasson - kontrabassi

Free Entrance

The bassist Sigmar Þór Matthíasson released his third solo album last autumn.
The album, titled Uneven Equator, is a kind of logical yet independent continuation of his previous release Meridian Metaphor, with the addition of vocals and string instruments expanding the soundscape — blending contemporary jazz with Eastern world music in an original way.

Sigmar’s ensemble has performed widely across Iceland over the past five years and was awarded Performer of the Year (Group) in the Jazz & Blues category at the Icelandic Music Awards in 2022. The project was also recently nominated for two Icelandic Music Awards 2025 — Album of the Year and Composition of the Year.
At the concert, the ensemble will perform music from both of the aforementioned albums. There might even be a chance to hear brand new material.

Ensemble:

Ásgeir Ásgeirsson – oud

Haukur Gröndal – clarinet

Ingi Bjarni Skúlason – piano

Magnús Trygvason Eliassen – drums

Sigmar Þór Matthíasson – double bass
