Elias Davidsson

Elias Davidsson was born in Palestine to German Jewish parents who had emigrated from Germany in 1931 and 1935 respectively (he later replaced his original surname with the patronym Davidsson, in accordance with Icelandic naming conventions). Davidsson grew up in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Temporarily, he lived in France until he finally moved to Iceland in 1962 and became an Icelandic citizen. He studied piano and composition in Cologne, Freiburg and Basel. He worked as a programmer for 22 years. Davidsson lived in Germany since 2008. In 2022 he lived in Kirchen (Sieg). He died on 7 April 2022 in Germany.

While living in Iceland, Davidsson began composing avant-garde computer-assisted music. In 1976, his Piano Trio (with percussion) was performed at the Nordic Music Days in Reykjavík. This was followed by Landslög, a Fantasy based on Icelandic folk tunes. With Cheetahs, Impotent he presented a work for musical theatre. Subsequently, Elias Davidsson devoted himself increasingly to studying pieces for the piano. These include the Græna bókin ("Green Book") with 36 solo pieces for piano, a collection of cello duets and the 18 piano duets The Red Carousel - Das Rote Karussell. Elias Davidsson plays accordion and lithophone in addition to piano.

Since the 1980s, Elias Davidsson had published on political topics, such as colonial history, human rights, economic sanctions and Zionism. His texts appeared in anthologies and various journals, and later he frequently published on the internet. Since 2013, he has written multiple books on terrorism, for example the attacks in Mumbai in 2008 and as a truther on the 11 September 2001. He rejected the conclusions of the 9/11 Commission and called them a "perfidious lie".

In 2017, Davidsson published a book in which he claimed that India was responsible for the 26/11 attacks.
