Recently, composer Haukur Tómasson released our recordings of his amazing piece Niður, þytur, brak, or Murmur, whiz, squeak. These are six songs he originally wrote in 2007 for me, accordion and 3 percussionists, but this version has a string quartet instead of the accordion.
Musicians: Una Sveinbjarnardóttir, Þórunn Ósk Marinósdóttir, Sigurður Bjarki Gunnarsson, Hávarður Tryggvason, Steef van Oosterhout, Eggert Pálsson and Pétur Grétarsson, conducted by Guðni Franzson. Stúdíó Sýrland recorded.
The powerful poems are by Sjón, all from his book Myrkar fígúrur (obscure figures) and I find Haukur has put them into music perfectly. This is only available online, and here you can have a listen, enjoy!
