There Is This Stereotype Of Icelanders All

Maybe It's Just A Personal Thing, But I Get So Much Grounding From Iceland Because I Know It's Always Going To Be There. I Have A Very Happy, Healthy Relationship With The Country, So It's Really Easy To Go Everywhere Because I Always Have Iceland To Go Back To. It's Sort Of A Contradiction, But That's How It Works Somehow.

I've Written Arrangements For Choirs And Strings In The Past, But I Usually Write Music With My Voice Or A Keyboard And Then I'll Get Someone Who Is Good At Writing Scores To Write It Out. Or, If I Have The Luxury Of Time, I Will Go In A Room And Hear The People Perform And Then Change It Through What I Hear, Not On Paper. I Can Read Music Ok, But I Probably Rebelled A Little - Music Changes Into Something Else When You Read It.

Over The Last 10 Years, There Have Been So Many Incredible Albums Created In Bedrooms By People Who Never Would've Gotten An Album Deal.

I Find It So Amazing When People Tell Me That Electronic Music Has No Soul. You Can't Blame The Computer. If There's No Soul In The Music, It's Because Nobody Put It There.

You Want People To Take Risks, And Ok, They Fail, But You Don't Get The Great Stuff Unless People Are Willing To Risk And Not Play It Safe. And Maybe The Icelandic Characteristic Is Better Harnessed In These Places Than On The Stock Market.
