策劃人的話 Curator‘s Notes
在來或去之前，創作當下
Create, in the present; consciously before stumbling in and slipping away
「來」和「去」乍看之下似是兩個極端，宏觀之卻是萬物的一體兩面：一吸必有一呼、花開即轉荼蘼、生命必然走向死亡。
〈來/去：多媒體音樂會〉由張駿豪（Teriver Cheung） 策劃，以八個原創樂章探索音樂的無限可能，表達對人生的體會與領悟。除了音樂部份會由爵士室樂團「瞬・樂團」演出，音樂會更邀得Jan Curious創作概念電影，與音樂對話。電影以一個小人物遊走於現實與夢境的一天，敘述城市生活中的營役和虛無。
〈來/去：多媒體音樂會〉交織音樂與影像，邀請每位在地球走一遭的過客，感受當下，尋找虛妄中的意義。
Exceptional artists tell stories with their souls. Entering a state of flow, they seem to forget their own existence and simply follow the lead of the music. It doesn’t matter whether they are using the human voice, instruments, or electronic synthesisers in their tunes; these are just a matter of different choices in tool selection. Often, with a few simple notes, they can create a unique and recognisable sound. The three overseas musicians in “440 S1 Concert” are exactly such artists.
This time, a group of outstanding young jazz musicians from Hong Kong will engage in a soulful dialogue with Becca, Justin, and Lex through music. The stage will showcase the process of collaborative co-creation, in which a variety of sounds naturally blend to build a deep connection. Everything will unfold spontaneously as we venture into the unknown on this musical journey with the audience.

繼 2017 年以 JFDR 名義發行的首張專輯《Brazil》後，Ákadóttir 在 2020 年推出了專輯《New Dreams》。2024 年 3 月，她的專輯《Museum》在冰島音樂獎（Iceland Music Awards）中榮獲年度冰島專輯獎。在「 440 第二季音樂會」中，JFDR 將由澳洲音樂人 Josh Wilkinson 擔任伴奏。

"Backyard Village" and garnered fans across the world - including Björk who cites Ákadóttir as an inspiration.
Following 2017's Brazil (her first record as JFDR), Ákadóttir returned with 2020's New Dreams "very haunting electro-pop music that's very subtle very inward looking" ( NPR Music) and "the kind of album that might give you space to reach your own small revelations" ( Stereogum).
Her new album Museum is out now. In March 2024, it won Icelandic album of the year at the Iceland Music Awards. In "440 S2 Concert", Australian musician Josh Wilkinson will serve as the accompanist for JFDR
