sublime icelandic music

Hey all

not checked into the blog since the stunning collaboration with the Icelandics. they are all such a pleasure to work with. we had a really intensive three days and i was distraught when it was all over.

the music was beautiful, hypnotic, peaceful mesmerising and spellbinding…

for me it was a real pleasure to be holding back, and beatbox so quietly.. it means you can hear all the delicate intricacies of the music, instead of my usual constant battle to impress and amaze the audience.

Shlomo, Valgeir, Romeo and Amiina

This is Romeo from the Magic Numbers joining us onstage to sing ‘The Night Before’ by Lee Hazlewood (who incidentally recorded his last song with Amiina just before he died).

I let rip possibly a little more than i should have done during my solo set in the first half. I ended my set with a massive rave tune which was loud. amiina then came on and did the most spacious, calm and quite moving song! i apologised to them in the interval for hyping it so much. they girls said it was fine.. like force feeding the crowd a pile of speed followed by valium….. LOLZ

anyway vids and pics to follow, big love to all it was sublime
