Einóma is a collaboration between two Icelandic friends and studio partners, Bjarni and Steindór. Prior to the genesis of Einóma and their intriguing, mysterious strain of experimental electronica, Bjarni and Steindór initially collaborated on short films, writing scripts and playing with sound and camera techniques. As Bjarni and Steindor's interest in film diminished, the duo began composing their own recordings somewhere between the experimental electronic music, that they say they had been listening to and the ambience that they had hoped to attain with their short films. The first year, almost everything they wrote was without beats - ambient pieces with a lot of vocal samples and distorted sounds.
Einoma's subsequent experiments with rhythm prompted the release of their debut EP, Floating Point By Zero, via the frequently intriguing Icelandic label Uni:form.
A year later the pair singed to Vertical Form and released their debut album the same year. Undir feilnótum was a deeply atmospheric album, incorporating eight tracks and clocking in at 38 mins in length. Each cut firmly demonstrated their obsessive skill for programming, intricate sequencing and rhythmic construction providing a body of work consisting of varying themes, moods and tempo's.
After having spent months meticulously sculpting new tracks, Milli Tónverka was released. The album´s title roughly translates to "Music that lies in-between" and indeed, Einóma does reach into the firmament and pull from their electronic husksan essence and soul of great weight and darkness. This is music created with the heart of high technology and the soul of a spirit world not usually seen with human eyes. The albums nine tracks collectively characterize Einóma´s music as severe, majestic, glacial, and unsettling.
hier bjarni, du musst früher kommen^^ wodka wodka wodka ;)

Welcome the new full lenght album by Vladislav Delay, out by August 24th 2009. Featuring the live trio – Sasu Ripatti on percussion, argentine musician Lucio Capece on clarinet and saxophone, and acclaimed composer Craig Armstrong on piano and rhodes.
After years of working alone and with for sole tools his computer and electronics, Tummaa is a vast departure for Vladislav Delay, yet this is a very smooth transition as the themes that have fuelled his previous records are still very much at the core of this new work. while this new direction is likely to surprise and disconcert some of his long-term fans, Tummaa may well turn out to be vladislav delay’s masterpiece.
i hope you're doing well! I would be pleased if you find
some time to listen to my new release. It's a full length album and for
free! Hope you like it!
One more release from our own Nonima, this time collaborating with fellow noisemaker Sonal. The sound and tone of "The Death of Youth" is quite a drastic change from what may be expected, there is some technically programmed beats and clicks aplenty yes, but it's the abundance of ambience and Sonal's heavily processed guitar work that makes this release a worthy addition to Nonima's hastily growing catalogue of releases.
Recorded one night in June as an improvised jam session between the two artists, it evolved into what we have now. Complete with some rather disturbing samples from serial killer testimonies and the brilliant "Session 9" movie by Brad Anderson, of course.
"The Death of Youth" is certainly dark and fractured stuff, perfect for headphones at 3am. Available as a *free* download from Section 27's site or from the link below. Its all in the numbers. ;)
