Why Iceland leads the way in reinventing classical music
No other country has transformed the symphonic sound with as much flair in the 21st century — is there something in the glacial water?

Góð mótmæli við Utanríkisráðuneytið í dag.
Leiðinlegt að einhver fann sig knúinn til að skvetta málningu á ljósmyndara á staðnum, að því er sagt vegna andúðar sinnar á mbl, mjög ómerkilegt.
En mótmælin engu að síður mjög góð og þörf, góður hópur sem mætti.

A great loss! My favourite radio app has been blocked here in Denmark. BBC Sounds should remain available worldwide, showcasing why the BBC is still the gold standard in public service broadcasting.
So BBC Sounds is now blocked outside the UK. That means no more Radio 3 (so no more Proms), only Radio 4 and World Service, and some shitty podcasts on a crummy new app.

Haven’t done too much reading or listening the last couple of weeks, but have been in a good writing flow and enjoyed bits of a couple of great books. Working on a new trio for POING and a production with Scenatet and my friend Magga Bjarna.

Albums of the week:
Concentration by Susan Alcorn. Absolutely gorgeous.
Maria Callas: Pure.
I love this album, it puts me in a good mood every time. In the strange times we are living right now, I really recommend listening to it for cleansing and refocusing✨

Books of the week:
Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World by Cal Newport
The Patriarchs: How Men Came to Rule by Angela Saini
Ensamtal by Ann Jäderlund
Was not too fond of the first two. I found Jäderlund’s poetry selection beautiful (and musical!).

Book of the week: Room to Dream by David Lynch and Kristine McKenna.
Album of the week: Le Quattro Stagioni by Concerto Italiano and Rinaldo Alessandrini. This is definitely my favourite recording of the seasons and also one of my all time fav albums. I listen to it all the time.

The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann. I don’t know what to say but ranting about this one to @heatherroche.bsky.social got me through it and now there is a movement of 7 bars in my new orchestra piece called man flu mountain and I won’t say why.

Album of the week: J.S. Bach: Three Or One - Transcriptions by Fred Thomas. Such a gorgeous album, recommended to me by my friend Skúli, that I’ve been listening to on repeat. The transcriptions are really brilliant and the intonation is just beyond beautiful.
