Skartamannafélagið is a collection of electronic pieces from 2017-2018. I wrapped them up in Videopool in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada. It kind of takes up where my record Ölterta left off.

It was reviewed by Ed Pinsent for the Sound Projector and amongst other things he had the following to say about it: ” . . .Every piece on Skartamannafelagid is a triumph of this deeply integrated way of composing; layers pulling in different directions, astonishingly novel textures and sounds. We have something that appears to effortlessly bypass many conventions of form, melody and rhythm. . . “

I recently released the second half of the full cycle of my four seasons. Vorlag/Sumarlag or Spring song / Summer Song came out this summer.

“A mesmerising set; absolutely gorgeous music.”
