A
gig
held at The Jam Jar
on Sunday 23rd April. The event starts at 19:00.
Gondwana Records join forces with LowKey to present their newest signing Svaneborg Kardyb for their Bristol debut.
Svaneborg Kardyb are Nikolaj Svaneborg (Wurlitzer, Juno, piano) and Jonas Kardyb (drums, percussion) - a multi award winning duo from Denmark, where they won two “Grammys” at the Danish Music Awards Jazz 2019: New artist of the year and Composer of the year. Drawing on Danish folk music and Scandinavian jazz influences, their music is an exquisite and joyful melding of beautiful melodies, delicate minimalism, catchy grooves, subtle electronica vibes, Nordic atmospheres and organic interplay, all underwritten by the sheer joy of playing together.
Having recently released 'Over Tage' on Gondwana Records, Svaneborg Kardyb are following in the footsteps of giants such as Portico Quartet, Matthew Halsall, Gogo Penguin, Mammal Hands & many others. We are humbled to be hosting their Bristol debut at The Jam Jar during their first UK tour.
“Their sound floats and twinkles like it’s from another place” – Elizabeth Alker, BBC Radio 3
The latest edition to the lineup comes in the for of Estonian born rising star Hanakiv.
Hanakiv is a young composer and musician from Estonia (now based in London) who creates meditative piano-based ambient music with elements from classical and electronic music. ‘Goodbyes’ is her debut recording and draws on influences as diverse as Tim Hecker, Björk “Vespertine”, Kara-Lis Coverdale, Arvo Pärt, Erkki-Sven Tüür and Aphex Twin as well as her own cultural heritage. Music has an important part in Estonian culture, especially choir music and its traditions, but Hanakiv also draws on her love of nature – the beautiful Estonian seaside and forests – and on her time in Iceland. However, it was moving to London that gave her the freedom to make her own music: “London gave me the freedom and courage to really be who I am (as a person and musically)” and her heritage and her new home both offer inspiration to Goodbyes, as Hanakiv moves between these two opposite places, a bustling metropolis and a small country full of nature, drawing inspiration from both as she sculpts her own voice.
