Fri\u00f0rik \u00d6rn Sigth\u00f3rsson<\/strong><\/strong>
BA Instrumental Composition<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bassist and composer Fri\u00f0rik \u00d6rn has extensive experience in the Icelandic music industry, he is an active member of various projects across musical styles, for example the rock band Hyl, K\u00e1ra Egil's band, the prog rock band Project Reykjav\u00edk and Matth\u00edas Helga Sigur\u00f0arson's jazz trio. Along with this, he has performed with various musicians from all over the business, for example J\u00f3nfr\u00ed, Rebekka Bl\u00f6ndal, Ara \u00c1relius and Frumburi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Fri\u00f0rik began studying bass at the F\u00cdH music school in 2017, but soon moved to M\u00cdT, where he studied bass under the guidance of Birgis Bragason and \u00deorgr\u00edm J\u00f3nsson, as well as extra studies in rhythmic singing under the guidance of J\u00f3hanna Linnet. Fri\u00f0rik has been busy writing songs and lyrics since his teenage years, but at M\u00cdT he had the opportunity to experiment in arrangements and develop his compositions further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He felt that this was an exciting platform for him and it led to him enrolling in composition studies at LH\u00cd. There he first studied under the guidance of P\u00e1l Ragnar P\u00e1lsson, then Bergr\u00fan Sn\u00e6bj\u00f6rnsd\u00f3ttir. During his studies at LH\u00cd, Fri\u00f0rik has moved rapidly to more experimental music and managed to develop his style, which could be described as a dark, mysterious, multi-layered world characterized by attempts to stretch the traditional soundscape of the instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the work<\/strong>

Awaive<\/em>
Floating effortlessly, the head stands out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rhythmic kicks seem ineffective, standing still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jaw splits the surface, scurries forward, the hull chases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awaive<\/em> is basically a reflection on the border between improvisation and composition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notation gradually dissolves, until nothing remains but the intuition of the performers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
