Grábrók
One of the three craters (next to Rauðbrók and Smábrók) of the same seven-kilometer eruption crevice, formed around 3,400 years ago. Located in West Iceland. Before I went there for the first time, I drove by him many times and always looked at him mesmerized. Regular shape, eye-catching black color. The view from Grábrók to […]
Gljúfrabúi
Gljúfrabúi Waterfall is located near Seljalandsfoss, it is hidden in a narrow canyon and to reach it you have to cross a short stretch of a small river – up to your ankles in the water. Under the waterfall itself, it is also like taking a shower, but the view is so stunning that wet […]
Glanni waterfall
This time a binaural recording from the Glanni waterfall. According to legend, elves and trolls can be found in this picturesque waterfall in the middle of a lava field. I did not notice them, but while recording this sound, I was enjoying the smell of autumn, the singing of those birds that still remained here, […]
Sound of Northern Lights in Iceland
The sky has gone mad. The forecasts proved correct and from around 10 pm the amazing aurora spectacle began, which quickly took over the entire sky. She was green, she was red, she was dancing, she was wearing a crown. It is difficult for me to describe how impressed I was with it and I […]
November storm
In some places, gusts could even reach 140 km/h. So I guess we can already say that winter in Iceland has officially started. The day lasts 4 hours and hurricanes are slowly becoming our everyday life. Now we’re only waiting for snow 🙂 14 November 2021
Sound of snowflakes in Iceland
Some time ago I asked you which places or phenomena in Iceland you would like to hear. I thought it would be fun to go out with the microphone and think that I was recording a specific place for a specific person. Well, it’s time for the first note on the list. Piotr Strzeżysz wrote […]
Seals in Iceland – Fjölskyldu- og húsdýragarðurinn
I wanted to record the sounds made by seals, but I didn’t expect it. Looks like I already have the sound effects for a science fiction movie 🙂
Dyrhólaey
Until 1918, Dyrhólaey was the southernmost point of Iceland. In that year, the title was taken away from him by the Katla eruption, which resulted in the creation of the Kötlutangi spit. There is a special story connected with this place. A year ago I was invited by one of the musicians of the múm […]
On time and water, on sound and language
Talking about ecology – as Andri Snær Magnasson notes – needs a language that has not yet been developed. Field recordings are an increasingly visible way of documenting life. Contrary to appearances, both issues have more in common in the context of climate change. I think about it when reading “On Time and Water”. I […]
