Slagverksleikarinn og spunatónlistarmaðurinn Joss Turnbull býr í Berlín og er kunnur fyrir skapandi nálgun sína við fingratrommuhefð Mið-Austurlanda. Listsköpun hans hverfist um írönsku trommuna tombak sem Mohammed Mortazavi kynnti hann fyrir. Joss útvíkkar möguleika hljóðfærisins á óhefðbundinn máta, t.d. með gúmmíboltum, tremolo og rauntímasampli. Þannig skapar hann hljóðræn rými sem eru í senn mínímalísk og yfirþyrmandi.
Joss Turnbull sendi nýlega frá sér sólóplötuna Turmoil (Boomslang Records, 2025) fyrir tombak, rödd og raftónlist. Platan er alltumlykjandi hlustunarupplifun og tjáningarríkt ferðalag. Orkan í tónlistinni sprettur upp úr augnablikinu, ögrun við viðtekin gildi og leit að formi sem er ófyrirsjáanlegt, heiðarlegt og hrífandi. Joss kafar ofan í heim óvissu og spennu en finnur þó einnig kyrrð í blæbrigðaríkum hljóðheimi sínum.

JOSS TURNBULL, THE LATE CONCERT SESSION
Friday 14th November 22:30 - 23:15
Iðnó

Berlin-based percussionist and improviser Joss Turnbull is known for his creative take on Middle Eastern finger drums. Introduced to Iranian percussion by Mohammed Mortazavi, the Iranian goblet drum Tombak is the center piece of his artistic work. Using unorthodox instrumental extensions such as rubber balls, tremolo, foils, and live sampling, he creates acoustic spaces that appear both minimalist and overwhelming.
Joss Turnbull’s recently released solo album Turmoil (Boomslang Records, 2025) for tombak, voice, and electronics is an immersive listening experience. It captures a journey of self-expression through sound. The music draws its energy from the moment, challenging conventions and seeking a form that is unpredictable, honest, and deeply engaging. He delves into a world of uncertainty and tension, yet also finds repose in an almost cinematic soundscape.
