Í morgun hófst allsérstakur viðburður á Húsavík þar sem tónlistarmenn skapa nið eða svokallaða drón-tónlist í 24 klukkustundir. Að sögn Barða Jóhannssonar sem hefur umsjón með viðburðinum er lítið fyrirfram ákveðið um hvernig tónlistin þróast.

Let’s get to know them …
rauður is the stage name of Icelandic musician and producer Auður Viðarsdóttir. Formerly a keyboardist and singer of Nóra, a band active in Iceland’s music scene a few years back, she has now emerged as a solo artist. Since plugging in her first synthesizer as a teenager in an old garage in her hometown Reykjavík (a Roland SH-201 to be specific), she has slowly but surely developed her sound, merging electronic and acoustic elements into an ethereal soundscape. Perhaps in harmony with the sound of her own name, which is almost intangible for people who don’t speak Icelandic.

Her voice weaves together with eccentric beats and captivating melodies that take us through highs and lows, while her accompanying lyrics tend to reverberate with different types of disasters - sometimes pretty, sometimes crude - always fascinating.
