this Ristarhlið before Máná (on road 85) got a nice resonance frequency. the first drive-over is the old saab. recorded right before the Mánárbakki Museum, which we did not see. This sounds interesting: “Mánárbakki Museum. The folk museum at Mánárbakki is a unique museum of things from…” (taken from http://www.diamondcircle.is/manarbakki). It just stopps here!
nice gravel road, the old saab and a deep rumbling Ristarhlið Ristarhlið on road 85 before Þórshöfn
this is really nice one. lots of metal-rattle. right on the parking lot at Sundlaugin Selárdal.
after making it over the mountain pass, right before the small river Dalsa. again – the old Saab driving over the Ristarhlið
You can hear people building up the sound sculpture Tvísöngur by the German artist Lukas Kühne. (beautiful Seyðisfjörður, Iceland) Further links: http://skaftfell.is/2012/08/tvisongur-opnun/ http://konradkorabiewski.blog.com/2012/09/02/tvisongur-sound-sculpture-lukas-kuhne-opening/
A recording from inside an old oiltank. The tank (diameter about 1.5 meters) was right before the new sound/art/space SKÁLAR (Center For Sound Art and Experimental Music) in the old fish fabric in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland. Thanks to Konrad Korabiewsk and all the lovley people in and around Skaftfell
Right before arriving at Seyðisfjörður – maybe one of the nicest villages in Iceland. if you ever get there, don’t miss to get a beer (eg. Skjálfti) and say hello to all those nice people there in Skaftfell.
