Ómun

Ómun live at Nullið

United on the 17th of February 2026 to perform for an exhibition named "Resonance", day of a fire sun eclipse in Antartica, first day of the moon cycle and mardi gras, was to be a musical work extending to the magical date of the 22.2.

Towards pagan legends and animistic rituals, Ómun explores through improvised words and music, inventing its own stories and mythology. Drifting between English and Icelandic spoken word, the narratives unfold beneath the surface of ordinary reality, opening passages into more elusive spaces of consciousness.

Familiar images slowly shift as intuition and symbolism replace linear logic, inviting the audience to wander through layered territories of memory, myth, and unresolved questions of existence. The music emerges from delicate acoustic textures. Guitar arpeggios unfold patiently while the bowed electric bass releases long, resonant tones that linger in the air.

Within this subtle sonic landscape, words appear, dissolve, and return, guiding the listener toward a space where sound and story move together.

Each performance was a unique open and improvised experience shaped by the moment. The presence of the audience, the atmosphere of the place, and the diffusion of scent through natural alchemical processes influenced the unfolding of the piece. As a result, no two performances was ever the same, transforming each event into a shared act of listening, imagination, and discovery, and fused all together here as a unique soundtrack.

The images are captures from the pop-up video installation illustrating the track and organized by the Absolumont collective in Reykjavik on the 11th of April 2026.
