When my cellist friend Steiney and I recorded Fantasía for piano and cello, we wouldn’t have guessed it would sound cooler with an orchestra but here we are (it actually is cooler). Watch the full video here:.

My Orchestral Works are out now! 🎻. I’m used to composing for solo piano or small ensembles but working with a chamber orchestra has been amazing. I'm thrilled and grateful to everyone involved. LISTEN BELOW: .

The heart's forgetting all its woes.Cool is the air that swirls and flows.Like rain on blackened turf. The flowers sleep, the dreaming infants doze At your breast now, mother earth. (by Davíð Stefánsson, Translation by David McDuff).

Everyone obeys the same command, Everyone is thirsty, as the flowers stand, Every creature, every soul,.Round every village gleams the dewy land, Blueness shines on creek and dale.

Night Rain / Næturregn.It's quiet indoors, outside there's peace and calm, only the rain goes pattering away across the dry and thirsty heath. The night hears prayers of all who pray.At your breast now, mother earth.

My piece Streymir is out today! The title means “streams” and it’s inspired by an Icelandic poem (translation below). It’s in my opinion a beautiful recording and arrangement so I hope you like it💧.

The melody in ‘Filma’ inspires an urge of exploration. Iceland’s coastal waters are teeming with life in both cold and temperate environments, yet we’ve only just scratched the surface of what’s yet to be discovered in the deep blue…

Today is World Sleep Day and I think it’s fitting to end my Lullabies journey with the release of Lullabies for Piano and Cello Deluxe. It was fun to go back and do some variations and extra lullabies. Happy WSD🫵💤 #WorldSleepDay @_WorldSleep . OUT NOW:.
