Episode #3028
Score One for Valgeir Sigurðsson
Monday, April 04, 2011
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 of anxious and driving music, he has teamed up with his Bedroom Community labelmates; composer/arranger Nico Muhly, industrial doomster Ben Frost, and folksinger Sam Amidon, among others. We’ll hear from Sigurðsson’s record for this New Sounds, and much more.

I like limning and industrial doomster very much. It is this kind of innovative use of the language which Shakespeare so much enjoyed.
