about

This track is from a new and unusual remix/soundscaping-project developed with the co-operation of the University of Iceland and the Árni Magnússon Institute.

Based on a 1957 archive recording of a traditional Icelandic drinking song ("Krúsarlögur Kveikir Bögur“), new songs have been created by a group of artists (including Minimal States) from the original source material.

The complete album, including the original track and a PDF book containing translations of the song's lyrics and interviews with the artists involved is available from Digital Kunstrasen here: www.digitalkunstrasen.net/kunstrasen/release_detail.php?release=dka061&lng=en
