Öldurót (ft. Atli Örvarsson & SinfoniaNord)

Akureyri / 17,304 / 65.688492, -18.126169

Barely 100km south of the arctic circle, the city of Akureyri nestles into Eyjafjörður. Snow capped mountains shelter the city from the harsh winds, where forest and botanical gardens flourish. This is the place composer Atli returned to, after many years in Hollywood writing film scores.

Music Recorded / 13.07.16

Composer

What do you miss most about Iceland when living abroad?

It's that basic understanding you have with your own people, the little unspoken things which are so hard to define and quantify but constitute what we call a culture.
