Tónegg, taktbjöllur og sönghveli.
Dýratónar er hljóðfæralína sem er innblásin af söng dýranna. Hún á heima í Hljóðhimnum í Hörpu en á tyllidögum fer hún stundum á flakk yfir ganginn og inn í Vísu, sem er herbergi á jarðhæð Hörpu.
Á Menningarnótt ætla tónlistarkonan sóley og hönnunarteymið ÞYKJÓ að bjóða börnum og fjölskyldum að búa til sínar eigin laglínur og takta úr hljóðum skordýra og söngfugla. Þar verður líka hægt að skyggnast á bak við tjöldin, sjá hvernig græjurnar inn í hljóðfærunum virka og kanna undraverðan hljóðheim dýranna, stórra og smárra.

Soley
Born in Hafnarfjörður Iceland, Sóley Stefánsdóttir has attracted a cult following with her fairytale song-craft. Sóley’s fantastical sepia-toned alt-pop tunes continued with the release of her debut full-length album We Sink in 2011. Receiving acclaim through her delicate compositions, soaked in dream-like qualities & dark surrealism, her song Pretty Face would go on to generate an enormous amount of buzz & legions of converts.
Having studied piano & composition at the Icelandic Art Academy, Sóley released the EP Krómantík in 2014, comprised of piano works originally composed for various theater & film productions, & returned to even darker, nocturnal themes with sophomore album Ask The Deep, which came out in early 2015. Following its release, she once again toured the world & supported John Grant for his UK shows in early 2016.
On releasing her third album Endless Summer in Summer 2017, she left the darkness of Ask The Deep behind & focused on more organic acoustic arrangements. Endless Summer was written and recorded over the span of 12 months with long-time friend & collaborator Albert Finnbogason. 2017 through 2018 saw Sóley collaborate with Sin Fang & múm’s Örvar Smárason under the moniker Team Dreams & as of Fall 2018.
Sóley published her fourth solo album Harmonik in 2020 and the album Mother Melancholia in 2021. The album’s release was be supported & accompanied by an extensive run of European shows throughout 2021.
