about

Two songs I recorded in the Fish Factory Creative Center in Stöðvarfjörður, East Iceland, in October 2021, recorded solely with a Zoom H4N field recorder.

The Cover Artwork was made by Mary Kate Noonan at the same time and place. -- www.instagram.com/mk.noonan.art/
"Basalt" was I written in 2013, in Iceland. On this remake, I tried to use all the instruments and facilities I could find in the Creative Center, including a lovely/shabby acoustic guitar with five bronze and one nylon string, a bass guitar, a drumset, percussion, piano, an old harmonium, an organ beat machine, and vocals.

The song is a contemplation about the positioning of myself within my social and natural environment. Just as my physical body seems to be shrinking when climbing up a mountain, expectations can inflate to ridiculous dimensions when floating over flat lands for too long.

"kveðja" is based on an older guitar loop, with a bass guitar and piano added to it.

Nighttime Birds and Morning Stars
by Sarah Louise

Where once her playing was essentially representational and descriptive, with 12-string cascades and plaintive vocals standing in for wind and snow, “Nighttime Birds” attempts to give voice to the fingerstyle guitarist’s entire universe at once. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 23, 2019
