this is amiina… four female musicians from iceland who make tingly music with a crazy range of instruments.
they met at Iceland Music College over ten years ago, then forming a string quartet to back Sigur Ros in the studio and on their world tours. Now they have created their own sound where they play all kinds of instruments, including guitars, keyboards and mandolins, a saw, Celtic harps, metalophones, singing wine glasses, xylophones, glockenspiels, harmoniums, kalimbas, a Rhodes piano, synthesisers and tubas.
which is kind of the opposite of me, billy no-instruments. So yeah, i have absolutely no idea what we will do in our collaboration next month…!
