Thanks to all of you that have listened to our first single of our upcoming album POEMS.
In our bio, there is a Pre-order link if you are interested in ordering the album.

#newmusic #single #release #dgclassics #icelandicmusic

Today is a very special day for me. It is the release day of my single Var - Er from my upcoming debut album Eilífur. Out now via @pentatonemusic . Link in bio.⁠

This single does a good job of summing up what the album is about. I find the future to be both frightening and exciting. What baffles me the most is the prediction that in this century medical advances might give us a choice to live as long as we want. It is difficult to comprehend the complex emotions I have for that idea. The album Eilífur is my attempt to work through that.

Today is also World Autism Awareness Day. My older son, to whom I dedicate this album, is autistic and his perspective of the world is very dear to me. I wish to develop my understanding on how to communicate with my son, hold and nurture the philosophy of seeing the world from his perspective, because it pushes me to grow beyond what I see to be my limitation from the standpoint of where I am today.

I am very grateful for the work of everyone involved in this release. I hope you enjoy listening to the track! (I recommend headphones or good speakers to enjoy the full spectrum of the music). Feel free to let me know what you think about the track in the comments.⁠

“This piece reflects how certain spaces can awaken memories that seem long forgotten — the warmth of a vanished home, the echo of being loved, or the ache of a love that time has blurred. It explores how places become vessels for remembrance, quietly holding fragments of who we once were. In revisiting them, we trace the contours of loss and longing, as if walking through a familiar room where something invisible still lingers.” @viktorarnason

In his contribution to Piano Day: Places, Icelandic composer Viktor Orri Árnason explores how places become keepers of memory, archiving fragments of the past in the delicate glow of ‘Memoir in Light’.

Today is a release of many piano tracks on an album released by @leiterverlag for @pianodayofficial. My piece, Memoir in Light, reflects how certain spaces can awaken memories that seem long forgotten — the warmth of a vanished home, the echo of being loved, or the ache of a love that time has blurred. It explores how places become vessels for remembrance, quietly holding fragments of who we once were. In revisiting them, we trace the contours of loss and longing, as if walking through a familiar room where something invisible still lingers. I hope you enjoy the music. Thanks @zinomikoreymastering for mastering.

Viktor Orri Árnason’s “Earth Hymn,” filmed live in the shadow of the Snæfellsnes glacier in Iceland, is a plea to the world from the edge of a changing planet. Full piece on YouTube/@yoyoma and the Our Common Nature EP.

“Earth Hymn” is from RITUAL, a large-scale performance conceived by director Arnbjörg María Danielsen (@arnbjorgdanielsen) with composer Viktor Orri Árnason (@viktorarnason) and Yo-Yo Ma, with text by Andri Snær Magnason (@andrimagnason) and ancient Icelandic poets.
