Limning that boundary between chamber and classical on the one side and rock and electronica on the other, is composer/producer Valgeir Sigurðsson's score for “Draumalandið” (“Dreamland”), a documentary about the exploitation of Iceland's natural resources. Sigurðsson is probably best known for working with Bjork, but for this record, his Bedroom Community labelmates -classical composer Nico Muhly, industrial doomster Ben Frost, folksinger Sam Amidon, among others- contributed to the anxious and driving music. We’ll hear from Sigurðsson’s new record for this New Sounds, along with a little bit of music from Redhooker and Robert Sadin, and much more.
