We just came back from a 5 day intense recording session at Reykholt, home of 12th century poet Snorri Sturluson. We recorded in the warm acoustics of the Reykholt Church and managed to cover a lot of material, Icelandic traditional music - folk songs, ballads and original compositions. Some of these tunes have become favorites of ours and we can’t wait to let audiences hear the outcome. We recorded with our favorite recording producer/Tonmeister Ragnheiður Jónsdóttir, and enjoyed the talents of our percussionist friends Eggert Pálsson and Matthías Hemstock on a few tracks.
