Album Notes & Community Reviews
An hour-long, seamlessly flowing composition written for an ensemble of eleven brass players, organ, piano, and subtle electronic processing. 'Vir冒ulegu forsetar' is a masterclass in modern classical reductionism, characterized by its remarkably slow, majestic pacing and deep sense of Icelandic melancholy.
