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

on road 96 before arriving at Reydarfjördur. now even three cars drove over the Ristarhlið while recording.

i’d rather mow the lawn in major than driving in a fucked-up car without breaks. Recording of a guy mowing the lawn on the campside in Svinafell (Flosalaug) near Skaftafell. You might hear some sheeps in the background …
If your heading Þórsmörk on road 261 a few meters before crossing road 250, on the leftside you pass Gluggafossa – an nice “small” two leveled waterfall as an advance party for the great Þórsmörk.
