Sláturtíð 29.09-03.10 2010

I will have two pieces on the SLÁTURTÍÐ festival that takes place on the 29.09-03.10 2010 in Reykjavík.  This is the annual festival of composer collective SLÁTUR.

My pieces will be "Snjóholt" for the Fengjastrútur ensemble and  "T1" on an experimental instrument by Halldór Úlfarsson and performed by Skmendanikka.  

Ok?

Limbo

Just working on my thesis at the moment... Thats it...

Loret ipsum 30th of May 2010

The last piece I do within a school (for now anyway) can be seen and heard in Sölvhóll at 15:00 and it won´t take long.  Would be nice to have some hot chocolate afterwards...

Piece at 15:15 on the 9th of May, 2010

So, on sunday the 9th I have a piece for clarinettist Ingólfur Vilhjálmsson on the 15:15 concert series in the Nordic House in Reykjavík.  It´s a new piece for bass-clarinett called Dubhghall 2.  Loud and uneventful. Indeed.

SPOR festival on the 8th of May, 2010

Hey on saturday the 8th of May, Czech fantasist Monika Frycova and I will be showing our piece at the SPOR festival in Denmark.  Performed by us and the ensemble SCENATET.  What´s going on here?

Back from the USA

The SLÁTUR adventure to Princeton and NY is over.  It was all good and I would like to thank Charity, Davíð and Lexie, "Good bye blue monday" and the wonderful people at the Flux Factory who helped make this trip so nice and memorable.
Hope to visit again soon!

USA - Princeton and NY

Well, the SLÁTUR boys and I are off to the USA to do a show in Princeton university on the 9th of march, then a show in "Good bye blue monday" (NY) on the 10th, and then last but not least a performance somewhere in Queens on the 11th.  There will be sights, sounds and a bunch of new pieces.  Hope to see you!

New kind of score on the 26th of February

You can see my new score and hear it performed at the monthly DÚNDUR  experimental concert series of composers collective SLÁTUR .  The event starts at 20:00 (free of course) and can be found in the basement of cafe kultura on Hverfisgata in Reykjavík.
I am trying the idea of downgrade; taking some things I usually use computers to do and doing them in the physical world.  Well something will happen anyway.

Ormsstaðir in Denmark on the 3rd of February

My piece Ormsstaðir will be played at the Februar Dage - en ny musik festival i Aalborg, 3-6 Februar which is a festival arranged by Ny Musik Frederikshavn.  The piece now has a video.  It will be shown and heard on the 3rd of February.  Yep.

New piece in concert on the 9th of January

A brand new piece called "Kindur" will be performed on the 9th of January 2010 in Reykjavík.
There will be many new instruments and I think will be an interesting event!

Something in Berlin?

On the 28th of December I (amongst others) will be doing something in some gallery in Berlin.  Hmm could be interesting.  More details soon.
