Utopirica by Björt Rùnars & Tomomi Kubo
Utopirica is the first album of the collaboration between Japanese Ondes Martenot player Tomomi Kubo and Icelandic cellist Björt Rùnars (both based in Barcelona) released 25th of september 2025.
A unique world is created through the rare combination of cello, effects, and Ondes Martenot.
Their music is described as a perfect blend of organic and electronic sounds, a creation of a delicate and elegant atmosphere like silk, while at the same time producing intense and passionate sounds.
A feeling of watching a scene from an impressionist painting.
Hope you enjoy their unique music and soundscape.
