One of the best things about getting wasted on Friday night at Airwaves, is Saturday mornings Chill party at the Blue Lagoon . It's big, outdoor geothermal pool of blue, sulphiric water – off-flow from a thermal powerplant in a lava field about 40 mins outside town. Busses pick up shadows of people from the hotels around town and whisk them out and it has got to be the best cure EVER. In case you need some help with the cure there's a bar in the water and for this event there's a DJ who despite the irony of [...]
Stórtónleikar með Jóhanni Jóhannsyni verða haldnir í Hallgrímskirkju í kvöld, föstudagskvöldið 1. október. Þetta verða fyrstu tónleikar Jóhanns á Íslandi í fjögur ár, en hann hefur verið að gera það mjög gott á erlendri grundu að undanförnu. Það er því ljóst að mikill fengur er að koma Jóhanns til Íslands. Jóhann verður ekki einn síns liðs á tónleikunum því hann mun hafa fimm manna hljómsveit sér til halds og trausts. Hana skipa þau Matthías Hemstock á slagverk, Una Sveinbjarnardóttir og Gréta Guðnadóttir á fiðlur, Guðmundur Kristmundsson á víólu [...]
Já por aqui tinha falado da programação do Teatro Maria Matos para Setembro e Outubro. Agora chega a confirmação das datas dos espectáculos. anbb - Alva Noto & Blixa Bargeld terça 21 Setembro 22h00 15€ <30 anos 7,5€ Blixa Bargeld, crucial protagonista dos Bad Seeds de Nick Cave durante vinte anos e o ainda eterno pulmão dos Einstürzende Neubauten, submeteu-se à ditadura benigna da electrónica reticular de Carsten Nicolai para criarem juntos uma nova hipótese futurista para a música pop digital, entre a convulsão industrial e as canções de embalar. Um EP [...]

I love London history, and this place has A LOT of London history. Since its inception, St Giles-in-the-fields has been closely linked with London's most unfortunate. A church of some sort has been in this location since 1101, when it was part of a leper hospital. The current building dates back to the 1700s, when [...]
The subjectivity of audible beauty creates no room for uniform mastery. As styles of music have fluxed in popularity over the past several centuries, the presence of classical music has endured for several reasons. The technical achievements it marked in musical composition is perhaps the most immediate influence, as are the great minds from Beethoven [...]
mp3: Jóhann Jóhannsson - Part 2/IBM1403 Printer mp3: Jóhann Jóhannsson - Efripídes Og Neðripídel Next up in my coverage of By:Larm is experimental artist Jóhann Jóhannsson from Iceland. Jóhannsson is classically trained and works as a composer of movie and play soundtracks, producer, and experimental electronic/ambient music artist. His live show at By:Larm was one of the most unique concert experiences I've had in a long time. His hypnotizing electronic ambient music, played [...]
Mike always insists I meet him in the east bay. When I ask why he says, "because I'm here" in a way that is devoid of shame. He picks me up from BART in his grandfather's silver Subaru and then we're at his house eating tamales and popping Brother Thelonious Beer . "Marlene's at Muir Woods, we can put our feet up". But when I realized the socks I was wearing had holes in them, I kept mine planted on the ground. Warming up with talk about choices and bearclaws, I began to wonder about his deliciously-round, butterball cat [...]
Jóhann Jóhannsson will perform at Minneapolis' Southern Theater on June 30.
Met dank aan Cut-up was ik gisteren bij Jóhann Jóhannsson in de Melkweg, zodat ik tijdens Motel Mozaique rustig in de Schouwburg kan blijven om Nico Muhly, Fever Ray en Royksopp te bekijken. Aangezien er nogal wat mensen zijn die (onder meer) speciaal voor Jóhannsson naar de Watt gaan, kun je hieronder alvast kijken wat je te wachten staat op basis van zijn optreden in Amsterdam. 'Odi et Amo' vormde gisteren de bijzonder mooie toegift bij een concert waarvan je jezelf mag afvragen wat de meerwaarde ervan is boven de cd. Minimaal [...]

After going back to this song for three times during the day it became pretty obvious that the elegiac quality of Jóhannsson's Chimaerica befits today's gray weather and our loss in the Turkish FA Cup better than any other song. Off his fantastic Fordlândia album that has been mentioned before on undomondo . Buy Fordlândia , Review on Brainwashed Jóhann Jóhannsson - Chimaerica
Best albums : In recent years it is getting more difficult than ever to follow new releases as countless laptop artists use the net as a way to blur listener's heads with their bedroom productions. For some, this is good as it brings creativity but I think there is a lack of sincerity in most of the productions compared to the 90s. After many years into this genre already bringing a big tolerance, it is difficult to keep on giving a chance to every noise produced today as we are more busy in life with less time [...]
Jóhann Jóhannsson - Fordlandia.mp3 [Audio player] Jóhann Jóhannsson has been my one of my favorite modern composers for a long time now. Fordlandia is his latest release which came out earlier this month. The title track amazingly relaxing, perfect to close out the week. johannjohannsson.com - myspace - hypem - amazon
Entre o final dos anos 90 e o dealbar deste novo século, a editora islandesa Kitchen Motors lançou três discos que serviram de documento ao ponto principal do seu manifesto, a criação de espaços comuns a artistas provenientes de diferentes backgrounds, islandeses na sua maioria. Estes discos, autênticos testemunhos de genialidade na improvisação, ganharam o nome "Motorlab" e reuniram projectos
Jóhann Jóhannsson is releasing his new album, Fordlandia , on November 4, 2008. The scores he has written for this masterpiece of an album are brilliantly beautiful and warm the heart and soul of the listener. One can tell when a symphony is going to be aesthetically pleasing when, after listening, you feel as though it has taken you to someplace you have never been before. The composer, who hails from Iceland, does just that in his new album. Jóhannsson takes you to the place in his head when the music [...]

Ist Jóhann Jóhannsson der Tchaikovsky des 21. Jahrhunderts? Die Symphonien des isländischen Komponisten sind anmutig und tief melancholisch. Nach getaner Arbeit träumt sich der Raumfahrtsingenieur Abend für Abend zu klassischer Musik ins All. Wenn er Tchaikovskys Sechste auflegt, ist ihm, als hätte der russische Komponist geahnt, dass die Menschheit schon wenige Jahrzehnte nach seinem Tod zum Mond fliegen wird, so universell klingt die Melancholie dieser Streicher. Jóhann Jóhannsson 's neues Album "Fordlândia" erscheint Anfang November bei 4AD . Jóhann Jóhannsson - The [...]
Image credit: unknown The serene, almost spiritual atmosphere of the previous part of this series is traded with a darker and more desolate sound in this second part. Over the course of the first three tracks the music gradually builds down its tone, as if it was gracefully descending into the depths of the ocean, the darkness absorbing the last remaining rays of light and colour being transformed into pitch-blackness. It makes for a careful yet necessary initiation of what comes next. At the heart of this list lies the wonderful and mysterious [...]
In preparation and anticipation for the Sigur Rós Hemia DVD release (Nov 20, US), I picked up the Icelandic pop music documentary Screaming Masterpiece . The film presents an in depth cross section of the current musical climate as well as the deep history of one of the most musically talented and original countries in the world. This is accomplished through full length song live performances from a multitude of Icelandic bands. I emphasize 'full length song' because it would have been much easier to only include excerpts and show more bands, [...]
Englabörn is actually a pretty old recording now, 5 years old in fact, but I was sent a copy because 4AD had decided to give it a wider release than its initial best-selling run on Iceland's Touch records. Johannsoon is something of renaissance man in that very country, composing, producing and running his own label. This recording, his first major piece, was originally written as the soundtrack to a theatrical performance, but was later adapted slightly to work as a record. It's a modern classical piece at heart, but one that is palatable enough, and takes enough steps into [...]
