BIS presents its first disc of works by this fascinating contemporary Icelandic composer. One of the label’s most innovative projects ever undertaken, the disc uniquely offers a variety of works composed specifically for the CD medium. Ingolfsson was closely involved in the making of this CD, through both the recording session and editing stages, and the decisions that he made throughout this process have undoubtedly shaped the end result we have here.

“This meant making full use of the possibilities of stereo, moving and rearranging the instruments in space, changing the microphone angles (e.g. recording the violin through the flute microphone), zooming from close microphones to more distant stereo mikes, doubling or boosting some instruments, varying reverberation and even filtering some sounds… We cannot capture or reconstruct the magic of live performance, but we can treat the recording itself as a living and expressive performance."
