….waiting for winter to be finally over and longing for spring some much it hurts, wandering around In the Androgynous Dark once again with amazing Brambles…..
[It’s been a while since I wanted to share anything here, so I feel bit weird posting this, like I have to excuse or explain myself for my absence and than again, wondering why should I, totally weird feeling]
Amazing live recording of Bersarin Quartett at the Krake Festival opening at the Passionskirche church in Berlin, August 6th 2012.
not sure if i’m even sorry for neglecting you recently but this spring is too awesome to be spent online 24/7 and i’ve been too busy to even think about it… anyway, just wanted to stop by to let you all know that i’m off to Frankfurt on Monday, will be there for two weeks so if anyone here is from there and have something interesting worth checking out to recommend or maybe even wanna meet me at their favorite park or gallery, please, do let me know! [u can reach me on my mail as well ;] There’s a possibility to spend next weekend in Berlin listening to marvelous Dictaphone @ Radialsystem on Friday, so if you live in Berlin I would love if you could show it to me from your perspective as well ;] I’m probably be tumblring even less then usual, but if you really miss me you can always track me down at instagram [if you don’t have one there’s statigram] where i was sharing some love from share conference that’s been going on for past three days here in Belgrade…

The first song of Ólafur Arnalds “Living Room Songs”.
The song is called “Fyrsta”, which means “First”. Because it is the first song of the series, but also because this piano theme was the first thing i managed to write while temporarily living in Los Angeles after weeks of severe creative block while trying to adjust to a new and strange place.
Violins: Gréta Salóme Stefánsdóttir and Margrét Soffía Einarsdóttir
Viola: Roland Hartwell
Cello: Unnur Jónsdóttir
