Hekla: Master of the Theremin’s Mysteries

Hekla is a rare specialist of the theremin — a notoriously enigmatic electronic instrument — and belongs to the very small group of musicians who have truly mastered its esoteric art. Classically trained, her playing spans an extraordinary range, from delicate, skittering birdsong to deep, tectonic sub-bass.

Her distinctive sound has earned admiration across the music world. Artists like PJ Harvey have praised her work, often placing her alongside contemporaries such as Colleen, Julia Holter, and the late Jóhann Jóhannsson.
