We're excited to introduce Icelandic composer Viktor Orri Árnason with his debut SVS mix. Hovering seamlessly between the otherworldly atmospheres of Grisey's multiphonic spectralism, Bartok's 4th quartet polyrhythmic prestissimo and Holst's eerie Neptune, Viktor meanwhile anchors this hour of listening with strong reference to music and performers from his shores including Hildur Guðnadóttir, Daníel Bjarnason, Jóhann Jóhannsson, as well as his own playing and composition. Enjoy!
