Conceptually inspired by Henry Ford's failed utopian rubber plantation in the Brazilian Amazon, this breathtaking modern classical album explores themes of industrial ambition and environmental decay. The Icelandic composer seamlessly merges sweeping string orchestration with subtle, pulsing electronic undercurrents. The cinematic, highly emotional record established him as a premier voice in 21st-century instrumental composition.
