Hildur Gudnadottir to open up for Fever Ray

November 27th, 2009

Taken from Fever Ray’s myspace site.

Fever Ray can announce that cellist Hildur Gudnadóttir will be opening the shows on the 2009 Finale Tour…

One glimpse into Hildur Gudnadóttir’s discography is enough to reveal the breadth and versatility of the Icelandic cellist and composer’s musicianship. Included among her more high-profile works are collaborations with Angel and Pan Sonic, as well as guest appearances with fellow Icelanders múm and Jóhann Jóhannsson. In addition, she has supported Animal Collective on tour as a member of Stórsveit Nix Noltes, has composed music for theater, film, and dance, and has co-written a choir score with Throbbing Gristle for the Derek Jarmen film In the Shadow of the Sun.

Hildur also performed at the Off Venue Schedule with Bedroom Community at Airwaves 09 at Kaffibarinn.

While she has consistently added a richness and emotional depth to these collaborative works, Gudnadóttir has only recently begun to branch out as a solo artist. Adopting the moniker Lost in Hildurness, she released her debut album, Mount A, back in 2007. It’s a highly reflective and exploratory work that beautifully showcases Gudnadóttir’s understanding and love for the cello’s expressive capabilities. On Without Sinking, her first release with Touch, Gudnadóttir drops her pseudonym and demonstrates an emerging confidence in her individual sound.

Thank You!

Well it’s been over 2 weeks now since the end of the 11th Iceland Airwaves Festival. This was without a doubt the best one yet, amazing bands, amazing crowd and great overall spirit. Thanks to all of those who participated, attended and helped us out making this one of the most memorable festivals to date.

Special thanks to our main sponsors, Icelandair and City Of Reykjavik for their support. We would also like to thank the Iceland Programme of the Ministry for Foreign Affair, The Trade Council of Iceland, Iceland Tourist board, Iceland Music Export, Norwegian Embassy in Iceland, all our partners (see more here) and of course all the artists and staff and participants that made this available. We have already started looking into bookings for the 12th Iceland Airwaves festival so first bands will be announced very soon along with the official dates so stay tuned for that.
