KLOVER Music : Valgeir Sigurðsson

Icelandic composer Valgeir Sigurðsson release these days his last LP titeled The Architecture Of Loss. This artist who worked on Björk's Vespertine, is able to evoke in few bars a very strong and cinematic atmosphere. After Draumalandið which was a music score for a documentary in 2010, Valgeir composed The Architectrure Of Loss for a ballet. Mixing acoustic instruments such as piano, cello and violins with some electronic beats and sound effects, Valgeir compose and design an "art music" without compromise. You have to accept his statement to enter his world, after that you feel hypnotized by his dark and intimate force. I particulary like Big Reveal which with its explosion beats reminds me Reykjavìk during the new year's eve when the sky is like a Jackson Pollock canvas, a  black screen full of fireworks.
