Album Notes & Community Reviews

This unique ambient project stems from a 24-hour "slow TV" broadcast in which the Icelandic band sound-tracked a drive along their nation's coastal ring road. The audio is entirely generated from a single vocal and stem track run through algorithmic music software, creating continuous, slowly evolving drone textures. The resulting album distills the day-long generative experiment into a concise, ethereal meditation on the Icelandic landscape.
