Safn 2006-2009

Safn 2006-2009 was released by Lamadameaveclechien in January 2010. The album is a collection of pieces I composed from late 2006 to early 2009. In September 2006 I left Iceland for Paris where I lived for a year. After living there I moved to Berlin where I stayed for two years until I went to Holland where I live now. The record "Safn 2006-2009" compiles pieces I composed during my time in France and Germany and that I found completed each other as a whole.

"...The seven compositions found on this CD share an organic and convolving character which develops in both a very continuous and dramatic way. The sound material varies from voices, violins and percussive sounds, treated in a such a way to give a big impression of a haunting tension and suspense. The intricate proceedings of the flow of sound, rich multi-layered textures and energetic percussive gestures gives the album an unheard quality which has to be experienced sonically to be fully understood. The CD comes in a wonderful organic grey handmade tissue."
