viibra

viibra is a flute septet that explores the possibilities of expanded flute playing. Founded in 2016 in support of Björk's album Utopia, they are best known for their dynamic role in Björk's highly praised theatrical concert Cornucopia which viibra performed in from 2018 to 2023. The individual members of viibra are all esteemed performers, composers, and educators working with improvisation and diverse approaches in music making, with active practices within Reykjavík’s vibrant creative scene. Their self-titled first album exemplifies their collective creative prowess and invites friends and collaborators along for the journey.

"viibra’s self-titled debut is a groundbreaking exploration of the flute’s potential. Each track is ajourney through the minds of its composers, brought to life by the ensemble’s unparalleled cohesion and artistry."

“The members of viibra are clearly a close-knit group, and it’s interesting to note the extent to which each of the composers utilizes them as a single, multifaceted organism. In this respect, it makes more sense to think of these works as primarily behavioural, exhibiting diverse processes and shifting group dynamics.”
