Poems
Viktor’s Deutsche Grammophon debut album Poems is conceived and co-written with soprano and visual artist Álfheiður Erla Guðmundsdóttir. The album’s ten exquisite tracks draw on the pair’s shared cultural heritage, setting poems by Icelandic poets past and present, as well as lyrics by Árnason and Guðmundsdóttir themselves. Poems was released worldwide – on CD, on vinyl and digitally – on 10 November, 2023.
Myrkvi
Myrkvi, Viktor’s second album, is a sonic exploration of the shadow self. Based on a dance piece he composed in 2014, the Icelandic composer and producer embraces a more electronic side to his music.
Eilífur
Viktor’s ambitious debut solo record is a celebration of life as we know it, and an ode to the things that make it worth living.
VAST
Viktor’s debut collaborative album with Yair Elazar Glotman captures one evening of unconventional violin, viola, and double bass improvisations.
