Reviews on Ethereality
Ethereality has been receiving some very positive feedback such as this
“… this album is a more than usually cohesive act of curation … a compelling 54-minute cycle that veers between extremes of scope and poles of acoustic and electronic emphasis. More than most, Ethereality isn’t an album for cherry-picking; it really needs to be heard in its entirety for the best and fullest effect.“ (5:4)
and this one:
"The recording is as superb as Tómasdóttir's technique, which is true for the whole album, including the folkish charms of Tryggvi M. Baldvinsson's Riposo (2015) and Anna Thorvaldsdottir's title track, composed in 2011. ...The same can be said for Clint McCallum's Shut Open (2021), which arises from bass notes to a suspended, silvery cloud of sound, like the soundtrack for an as-yet-unwritten creation myth. In a word: spellbinding!" (anearful)

Kæru vinir!
Ethereality eftir Önnu Þorvaldsdóttur fyrir bassaflautu og rafhljóð er komið út á Spotify og öðrum stafrænum veitum. Það er annað verkið af væntanlegri plötu minni, Ethereality, sem kemur út í heild sinni föstudaginn 9. júlí. Shut Open eftir Clint McCallum kom út síðastliðinn föstudag og markaði það upphaf útgáfunnar. Verkin á plötunni eiga það sameiginlegt að vera eftir nána samstarfsaðila mína og flutt af mér, auk þess sem eitt verkanna er eftir mig.
Um upptökur, tón- og hljóðjöfnun sá Bergur Þórisson. Upptökur fóru fram að stórum hluta í Akranesvita en einnig í Skipholti 31 og á Laugarásvegi 23. Júlía Runólfsdóttir sá um grafíska útfærslu verksins og stafræn dreifing er í höndum INNI.
Hér fylgja hlekkir á verkin tvö sem komin eru út en hægt er að fylgjast með útgáfunni með því að fylgja mér á Spotify.
Mér þætti vænt um ef þú gæfir þér tíma í að hlusta.
Með sumarkveðju,
Berglind
