this is valgeir sigurðsson..
he is an electronic musician from Iceland. I first met him when i went to record with bjork for her 2004 all-vocal album medulla. Valgeir is one of her long-term studio collaborators.
He released his first full length solo LP Ekvílibríum, with guest vocals from Bonny Prince Billy, in September 2007. I went to see him perform in a tiny church in Soho…the sound company had not realised just how small the venue was (around 30 people!) and had brought in a huge soundsystem big enough for a rave…
the music is quiet and peaceful. the performance was stunning.
who knows what will happen when we collaborate next month… looks like i am going to have to do some ‘quiet’ beatboxing. ever heard of that before??!
