JÓHANN JÓHANNSSON

And in the endless pause there came the sound of bees




It's not just a whim. In Iceland all moves between icy volcanic landscapes and perhaps for this reason that there the aurora borealis of artistic creation offers suggestions as unique as the created by Johann Johannsson, live sometimes with Hildur Gudnadóttir. He composes pieces for string quartets dance processed deliciously and seasoned with electronic textures and unclassifiable beauty. Beside him, Hildur, wonderful cellist and composer also excellent electronic mirrors classical bodies, and vice versa, gives the best foot for this easel. Shostacóvich Kraftwerk and the word pizzicato may seem to you far and call you yawn, but remember that in Iceland nothing is as it seems, its scene is stirred and us with it. "Tu non mi perderai mai".
