Special Podcast: Score One for Valgeir Sigurdsson (first aired on Jan. 20, 2010)

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 Sam Amidon, and much more.
