Dada Pogrom is a musical and visual force that stands alone in its genre. The music and film of Dada Pogrom seek to evoke and express the darkness that surrounds all the works of man and nature. The universe is entropical at all levels of its existence and according to the current cosmological theorems, are finite and limited. As the days of a man’s life are limited, so too are those of a star, galaxy, a world, and a civilization. Within the chaos that is everything however, there exists the order of force and time. This order that governs all entropy is the very root of beauty and is the inspiration for Dada Pogrom. The beauty of darkness is expressed visually and aurally. This is Dada Pogrom and this is the Nu Dark Wave.
Based in both Reykjavik, Iceland and Toronto, Canada, Dada Pogrom draws influences from computer science, Royal Conservatory training, multi-media forms, and composes analogue music with an “electronic attitude”. Fans find hints of techno, lounge, drum & base in his previous works entitled, “Tech Noire” and “Apocalypso”. “It is an eclectic mix” states Danny Rajala a journalist for Tiedonantaja in Finland. Short film direction such as “A Ghost of St. John” and “The Path Well Trod by Phileas Frogg” also dd to his repertoire. His musical influences stem from Kraftwerk, J.S Bach, Devo, and moreover, Dada Pogrom’s musical lineage stems from both Sigvaldi Kaldelons and Selma Kaldelons, two highly acclaimed Icelandic composers of secular music.
