Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Valgeir Sigurdsson

the parameters of musical possibility are vast on valgeir sigurdssons third lp, architecture of loss. the music flows from no notes at all to lyrical, folk-like melody, from spare, acoustic sound to dense digital intervention. originally composed for the same titled ballet by stephen petronio. architecture of loss is a powerful work in its own right in which valgeir works from a broad palette of absences.

valgeir sigurdsson, former producer of bjšrk, has made his name as an exponent of musical subtlety. as an engineer and producer, hes often focused on the intimate, the miniature. draumalandid (dreamland), a documentary about the exploitation of icelands natural resources, tells a story about huge things-the fortunes of a whole nation, the destruction of vast landscapes, and the global economic forces, greater still than any nation, that fuel it all-and for his soundtrack to the film, valgeir has brought out a heavier set of tools. exciting music for fans of max richter, deaf center, bjšrk.
