Ragnarök Trio
Ragnarök Trio is a Netherlands based project led by Icelandic guitarist Thorkell Ragnar.
​
Formed in Rotterdam in 2022, the trio plays original music with a free improvisational approach and strives to create an abstract and energetic world of sound.
The music, written by Thorkell, can be described as raw and sincere and is strongly influenced by punk, rock and various 20th century compositional concepts; serialism, symmetry and free atonality. Some kind of doomsday-jazz, a soundtrack for the apocalypse.
