Based on a dance piece he composed in 2014, the Icelandic composer and producer embraces a more electronic side to his music. 

“The majority of the tracks on this album were created back in 2014, but were shelved and forgotten until I recently rediscovered them. To my surprise, the music seamlessly fit a narrative that I have been exploring for some time - the concept of a personal shadow. This process involves bringing unconscious behaviors into awareness, learning from them, and utilizing these lessons to bolster one's character for a brighter future.

In a sense, this music is also a reflection of a musical past that has been repressed and forgotten. It represents a shadow of my current work, and as part of an acceptance journey, I am finally bringing it to light and sharing it with the world. This album is a testament to the growth and evolution of my musical adventure, a reminder that even the shadows of our past can play an important role in shaping our future.”
