Icelandic volcanic jazz sounds meet sensitive trance trio from Austria
ADHD describes a state that is difficult to grasp: a focus that is constantly seeking order, while new ideas keep bubbling up. In De Werf brings AMOK two musical worlds together that each in their own way explore the tension between structure and disruption, composition and improvisation, stability and freedom.
20:00 ADHD
Since 2007, ADHD has been building soundscapes that breathe with the spirit of their homeland: untamed, mysterious, and charged with raw elemental power. When these four Vikings are on stage, we get an idea of how the island people have managed to survive the long, ice-cold winters over the centuries: they simply draw their energy from themselves.
With their ninth album 9 (2024), ADHD confirmed their status as pioneers. Their visit to AMOK now heralds the announcement of their tenth album, which will be released in October 2026. Their latest work is more orchestral and melodic than ever, but remains raw and warm, with hypnotic electro-acoustic textures. Do not expect predictable paths, only new horizons - resonating with the glacial silence and volcanic intensity of Iceland.
21:30 other:M:other
Imagine a missing link between free jazz improvisation and club music, and you understand what other:M:other makes so unique. With an unconventional lineup, extended playing techniques, and a free improvisational approach, the Austrian trio explores the outer edges of musical genres: from avant-jazz to trance, techno, and noise.
other:M:other presents their second album Material at AMOK. Starting from minimalist musical material, the trio develops complex sound trajectories through collective playing, navigating between composition and improvisation. At the same time, Material reflects on the concept itself. Between consumer society, origins, and the question of what remains: what really matters.
