Verk: án titils – innsetning í turni
Oft var talað um að draugatrúin hefði dáið út með tilkomu rafmagnsins, draugar sæjust ekki lengur vegna birtunnar sem kom með rafmagnsljósinu. Með það í huga væri jafnvel hægt að tala um Elliðastöð sem einn af fyrstu draugabönunum á Íslandi.
Fyrir þann tíma þá gaf myrkrið og skuggadansinn frá olíu- og grútarljósunum í bland við hljóðin sem fylgdu íslensku tíðarfari ímyndunaraflinu oft lausan tauminn. Fólk fann fyrir sterkri nærveru, eins og það væri eitthvað sem í myrkrinu bjó og lét sér bregða fyrir endrum og eins.
Tilgangur verksins er ekki að vekja upp gamla drauga heldur að leyfa ímyndunaraflinu að njóta þess sem fyrir augu ber og leyfa huganum að reika stundarkorn.
Work: untitled
It is often said that the belief in ghosts nearly went extinct in the advent of electricity and the immersive light it brought with it. With that in mind one could say that Elliðastöð is one of Icelands first ghostbusters.
Before that time the darkness and shadow-dancing from the old oil lamps and the sounds from the Icelandic weather would let people’s imagination run loose. A strong presence was felt, like there was something that lurked in the darkness and the shadows that would sometimes appear for a flash of a second.
The idea behind the work is not to bring back the ghosts of the past but rather to allow the imagination flow and the mind roam freely, if only for a second.

An Endless Game? (2010)
A female voice is discerned, disappears, returns. Fragmented parts of the voice drown, come up again and go on. A never fading joy of creating something new, a sensual play with the elements earth, water, wind and fire. In our material world everything should have an end, but why? Perhaps there is no end…
An Endless Game? was commissioned by the Swedish Radio.

Helgi Pétursson (1962) útskrifaðist úr Tónfræðadeild Tónlistarskólans í Reykjavík þar sem kennarar hans í tónsmíðum voru Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson, Atli Heimir Sveinsson og Þorsteinn Hauksson. Síðar lauk hann einnig MA námi í Microtechnology in Music Education frá University of Reading.Á námsárum Helga var töluvert af verkum hans flutt opinberlega, þar á meðal rafverk og einnig voru flutt eftir hann verk að hann loknu námi, meðal annars á þeim árum sem hann var starfandi sem tónlistarkennari á Húsavík. Helgi hefur mjög lengi haft afar mikinn áhuga á raf og tölvutónlist og einnig á tölvutækni almennt og starfaði hann um árabil sem forritari.Eftir að hann hætti sem starfandi tólistarmaður lá tónsköpun hans að mestu niðri en hann tók upp þráðinn að nýju með verkinu Blindfugl/Svartflug sem samið var í júní 2024 og er byggt á samnefndu ljóði Gyrðis Elíassonar frá 1986. Helgi segir um tónverkið Völuspá: Mig hafði lengi langað að semja elektróníkt tónaljóð um Völuspá, í nokkrum þáttum.Á níunda áratugnum hafði ég samið tvö elektrónísk verk, það fyrra Trans I og II (1985) og Niðhöggur (1986). Trans I og II var nokkru síðar flutt á Ung Nordisk Musikfest tónlistarhátíðinni í Danmörku og Niðhöggur frumflutt á einum af Tónleikum Tónfræðadeildar Tónlistarskólans í Reykjavík. Trans I og II var upphaflega ekkert tengt Völuspá en Niðhöggur tengdist ljóðinu beint og var samið undir sterkum áhrifum af Völspá sem ég hafði þá lesið í fyrsta skipti. Fljótlega eftir þetta fór að þróast hjá mér hugmynd um að ég gæti ef til vill samið eitt stórt verk um Völuspá þar sem Trans I yrði upphafsþáttur, Trans II yrði lokaþáttur og Niðhöggur einhversstaðar þar á milli. Til viðbótar við það hugðist ég semja nokkra fleiri þætti þar sem hver þáttur myndi lýsa einhverjum atburði eða fyrirbæri í ljóðinu. Það varð hinsvegar ekki af því fyrr en á árinu 2025 að ég loksins bætti við 6 þáttum og lauk við verkið.Þessir nýrri þættir eru samdir og teknir upp í janúar og febrúar, 2025.
Þættir verksins eru eftirfarandi:
1. Trans I 5:33 mín.
2. Yggdrasill 4:59 mín.
3. Allt veit ek Óðinn 3:18 mín
4. Bræður munu berjast 3:25 mín
5. Surtur fer sunnan 4:14 mín
6. Sal sér hún standa 5:05 mín
7. Niðhöggur 5:02 mín
8. Nú mun hún sökkvast 3:43 mín
9. Trans II 7:04 mín
Tónverkið Völuspá er tileinkað föður mínum, Pétri Jónassyni (1941 – 2022), en hann hvatti mig alla tíð mjög til að ljúka verkinu og hann á meira að segja sjálfur þátt í upptökum umhverfishljóða sem heyrast í lokaþættinum.
ENGLISH
Helgi Pétursson (1962) graduated from the Department of Theory and Composition at the Reykjavík Conservatory of Music where his teachers in composition were Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson, Atli Heimir Sveinsson and Þorsteinn Hauksson. Later he also completed an MA degree in Microtechnology in Music Education from the University of Reading, UK. During Helgi’s student years, quite a few of his works were performed in public, including electronic works and works by him were also performed after he finished his studies, including the years when he was employed as a music teacher in Húsavík. Helgi has had a very strong interest in electronic and computer music for a very long time and also in computer technology in general, and he worked for several years as a computer programmer. After he retired as a working musician, his composition were mostly stopped, but he picked up the thread again with the piece Blindfugl/Svartflug which was composed in june 2024 and is based on a poem of the same name by Gyrðir Elíasson from 1986. Helgi has the follwing to say about the composition Völuspá:I had for a long time wanted to compose an electronic tone poem about Völuspá, in several moments.In the 1980s I had composed two electronic works, the former Trans I and II (1985) and Niðhöggur (1986).Trans I and II were performed at the Ung Nordisk Musikfest festival in Denmark some time later and Niðhöggur premiered at one of the Concerts of the Department of Theory and Composition in the Reykjavík Conservatory of Music. Trans I and II were originally not related to Völuspá, but Niðhöggur was directly related to the poem and was composed under a strong influence of Völuspá, which I had then read for the first time. Soon after this, the idea began to develop within my mind that I could perhaps compose one large work about Völuspá, where Trans I would be the opening moment, Trans II would be the closing moment and Niðhöggur would be somewhere in between these moments. In addition to that, I planned to write a few more moments, each section describing an event or phenomenon in the poem.However, it wasn’t until in 2025 that I finally added 6 more moments and completed the work.These newer moments were written and recorded in January and February, 2025.The moments of the work are as follows:
1. Trans I 5:33 min.
2. Yggdrasill 4:59 min.
3. Allt veit ek Óðinn 3:18 min
4. Bræður munu berjast 3:25 min
5. Surtur fer sunnan 4:14 min
6. Sal sér hún standa 5:05 min
7. Niðhöggur 5:02 min
8. Nú mun hún sökkvast 3:43 min
9. Trans II 7:04 min
The composition Völuspá is dedicated to my father, Pétur Jónasson (1941 – 2022),as he always encouraged me to finish the workand he even participated in the field recordings of some of the sounds that can be heard in the final moment.

Gerðu þinn eigin hljóðheim úr græjugulli!
Í þessari smiðju leiðir Jesper Pedersen þátttakendur í gegnum skapandi ferli þar sem gömul leikföng, dótahljómborð og hvers kyns batteríknúið græjugull er tekið í sundur og umbreytt í ný og óvænt hljóðfæri. Við umbreytum hljóðum, brjótum reglur og búum til okkar eigin raftónlist úr skrýtnum og sérstæðum hlutum.
Þátttakendur eru hvattir til að taka með sér gamalt rafknúið leikfang (með batteríum!) sem gefur frá sér hljóð og má fórna í tilraunina. Engin þekking á tónlist eða rafeindum er nauðsynleg – aðeins forvitni á skrýtnum og sérstæðum hlutum og löngun til að prófa eitthvað nýtt.

Invisible Sounds: Making Music with Electromagnetic Fields
What if we could hear the hidden electromagnetic landscapes that surround us? This hands-on workshop explores sound-making with invisible forces – using electromagnetic field inductors and coils to capture and transform the electromagnetic activity of obsolete circuit boards and the telecommunication systems around us into audible material.
We’ll use this method as a way to perceptualize the dense complexity of digital devices in our everyday life – making the invisible tangible through sound. Working with coils, antennas, radios, and light-sensitive circuits, participants will discover how discarded electronics and ambient electromagnetic fields become sonic instruments.
No prior electronics experience needed – the focus is on exploration, listening, and collective improvisation rather than circuit-building. Working in small groups at different instrument stations, we’ll experiment with these invisible phenomena, then bring everything together through a common mixer to create a collaborative piece. We may develop simple graphic scores to guide our improvisation.
This is about discovering sound in unexpected places, making music with electronic waste and forces we can’t see but can definitely hear.

Ósýnileg hljóð: Að skapa tónlist með rafsegulsviði
Getum við heyrt í rafsegullandslaginu sem umlykur okkur? Á námskeiðinu læra þátttakendur að umbreyta ósýnilegum rafsegulmerkjum í hljóð og tónlist. Með því að nota spólur, loftnetum og útvarpstækni er rafsegulvirkni úreltrar rafeindatækni og fjarskiptakerfa fönguð og henni breytt í lifandi hljóðheim.
Þátttakendur vinna saman í litlum hópum, gera tilraunir með rafsegulsvið og hljóðblöndun og skapa sameiginlegt hljóðverk þar sem hið ósýnilega verður heyranlegt. Engin fyrri reynsla af rafeindatækni er nauðsynleg – aðeins forvitni, hlustun og sköpunargleði.
Komdu og uppgötvaðu tónlist á óvæntum stöðum – í kraftinum sem við sjáum ekki, en getum heyrt.

Airplane & Spaceship
Electronic musician from outer space
dj. flugvél og geimskip (Airplane & Spaceship) is the one-person orchestra of Steinunn Hardardottir that draws influences from a thousand worlds. Defined as psychedelic electronic dance-music from outer space, the music is a mix of playful beats, cool bass, catchy melodies and unusual vocals. Her live performances are highly memorable and the music deals with alien worlds, mysteries, and surrealistic dreams. Her concerts are a strange blend of music, storytelling, poetry, and theater. The audience is left feeling like they are in a vivid dream or have traveled to outer space. dj. flugvél og geimskip has released three full length albums. Two of her albums won the Icelandic Kraumur Music Awards, her album Our Atlantis was nominated as the best electronic album of 2019 at the Icelandic Music Awards and her album Nótt á hafsbotni was nominated as the Best Pop Album at the Icelandic Music Awards 2015 and received raving reviews from both Uncut and The Arts Desk amongst others.
“Utterly charming and hugely entertaining, she could have taught The Knife a thing or two about staging and The Flaming Lips that spectacle can also work on an intimate scale.”
-The Arts Desk
“Sometimes an artist’s recorded output cannot adequately prepare you for the experience of seeing them live, and Iceland’s dj. flugvél og geimskip is the perfect example. She bounces onto the stage looking like a cross between Lauren Mayberry and Björk, her pile of synths decorated with gold streamers and topped off with a color-changing disco-ball-light-thing. What follows almost feels like a piece of performance art – dj. flugvél taking on the role of a bizarre storyteller, spinning wonky electronica into tales of evil cats, deals with the devil, spaceships, being cloned by aliens and I swear to God I’m not making this up. She’s quite clearly in a world of her own, but dj. flugvél og geimskip is very accommodating of visitors, so you might as well stay a while.”

She is curious about the spectrum of the voice, how it can be used to tell stories through song, mimicking instruments, machines, foley sounds or by humming your favourite tune.
Her artistic process revolves around the interaction of sounds, movements and objects, drawing inspiration from soundpoetry.
Alongside her practice she collaborates with Tara Njála Ingvarsdóttir, forming the performance duo Tara and Silla. The main themes of their works are friendship, social situations and celebration, which appear mainly in the form of installations, performances and/or video works.
Silfrún’s works along with the works of the duo Tara and Silla have been exhibited in Kling og Bang, Ásmundarsalur, Kjarvalsstaðir, Nýlistasafnið, Harbinger and group exhibitions in The Hague, and Vienna.
Silfrún Una graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the Iceland University of the Arts in 2020.
At Raflost she will present a new performance called: They couldn’t help but to try and scratch in the same rhythm
Performers are: Hákon Bragason, Mio Storåsen, Kjartan Almar Kárason and Sölvi Halldórsson.
The First LOVE FM Synthesizer
Nýtt íslenskt fyrirtæki; Love Synthesizers er nú í óðaönn að undirbúa framleiðslu á sínum fyrsta hljóðgervli. Hann heitir First Love (Fyrsta ástin) og notast við FM aðferð til að skapa hljóð. FM hljóðgervill virkar þannig að ein hljóðbylgja hefur áhrif á aðra og úr verður nýtt hljóð. Þessi aðferð við hljóðgerð hefur hingað til verið flókin og margir því ekki nýtt sér að fullu möguleika FM við gerð tónlistar og hljóðhönnunar.
Okkur hjá Love langar að breyta nálguninni á FM með okkar nýja hljóðfæri og gera hana aðgengilegri. Við leggjum okkur fram um að búa til einfaldan og skemmtilegan hljóðgervil sem bæði er góður í að búa til hljóð, skemmtilegur og hljómfagur.
Tónlistar-og myndlistarmaðurinn Steinunn Eldflaug Harðardóttir, einnig þekkt sem dj. flugvél og geimskip, varð óvart hluti af hópnum á sem stendur að gerð First Love hljóðgervilsins og hefur tekið þátt í hönnunarferlinu og farið ásamt Love FM á tvær alþjóðlegar ráðstefnur að kynna hann fyrir almenningi sem og fólki innan ,,bransans”. Hún mun sýna okkur hvernig hljóðgervillinn virkar og gera sitt besta til að sýna fram á að FM getur í alvörunni verið einföld og skemmtileg aðferð við tónlistar og hljóðhönnunar. Einnig mun hún sýna hvernig hún nýtir sér synthann í sinni tónlist og segja frá aðkomu sinni að verkefninu, sem og að svara spurningum.

Helgi Pétursson (1962) útskrifaðist úr Tónfræðadeild Tónlistarskólans í Reykjavík þar sem kennarar hans í tónsmíðum voru Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson Atli Heimir Sveinsson og Þorsteinn Hauksson. Síðar lauk hann einnig MA námi í Microtechnology in Music Education frá University of Reading.
Á námsárum Helga var töluvert af verkum hans flutt opinberlaga, þar á meðal rafverk og einnig voru flutt eftir hann verk eftir að hann lauk námi, meðal annars á þeim árum sem hann var starfandi sem tónlistarkennari á Húsavík. Helgi hefur mjög lengi haft mjög mikinn áhuga á raf og tölvutónlist og einnig á tölvutækni almennt og starfaði hann um árabil sem forritari.
Eftir að hann hætti sem starfandi tólistarmaður lá tónsköpun hans að mestu niðri en nú hefur hann tekið upp þráðinn að nýju með verkinu Blindfugl/Svartflug. Blindfugl/Svartflug er samið í júní 2024 og er byggt á samnefndu ljóði Gyrðis Elíassonar frá 1986 sem Helgi les í heild í gegnum verkið.
Hugmyndin að þessu verki er mjög gömul því það hafði verið draumur Helga að gera þetta verk nánast alveg síðan hann heyrði Gyrði lesa ljóðið upp í útvarpi fljótlega eftir að það kom út. Það hafði mjög sterk áhrif á hann. Verkið má segja að sé viðleitni til þess að undirstrika þau hughrif og stemmingu sem ljóðið vekur með margbreytilegum hljóðheim og búa þannig til nokkurs konar hljóðmynd með ljóðinu.
ENGLISH
Helgi Pétursson (1962) graduated from the Department of Theory and Composition at the Reykjavík Conservatory of Music where his teachers in composition were Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson, Atli Heimir Sveinsson and Þorsteinn Hauksson. Later he also completed an MA degree in Microtechnology in Music Education from the University of Reading, UK. During Helgi’s student years, quite a few of his works were performed in public, including electronic works and works by him were also performed after he finished his studies, including the years when he was employed as a music teacher in Húsavík.
Helgi has for a very long time been very interested in electronic and computer music and also in computer technology in general, and he worked for several years as a computer programmer. After he retired as a working musician, his composition was mostly stopped, but now he has picked up the thread again with the piece Blindfugl/Svartflug.
Blindfugl/Svartflug was written in June 2024 and is based on a poem of the same name by Gyrðir Elíasson from 1986 which Helgi reads in its entirety throughout the piece. The idea for this piece is very old because it had been Helgi’s dream to make this piece almost ever since he heard Gyrðir read the poem on the radio soon after it was released. It had a very strong effect on the composer. The piece can be said to be an attempt to emphasize the impressions and moods that the poem evokes using a varied sound world and thus create a kind of sound painting of the poem.
Deepa R. Iyengar kannar rými til að uppgötva í þeim hvað vantar, er ósýnilegt eða óraungert. Verkin myndast oft sem innsetningar þar sem hún setur fram orkuna, upplýsingarnar eða möguleikana sem leynast í tómum rýmum eða þögnum. Viðfangsefni hennar tengjast oft valdi, stjórn og frelsun.
Deepa er með M.A.-gráðu í myndlist frá Listaháskóla Íslands. Hún er búsett á Íslandi, þó upprunalega frá Bandaríkjunum, þar sem hún lauk S.M. (M.Sc.) í heila- og hugvísindum frá Massachusetts Institute of Technology, og B.A. í eðlisfræði og stjörnufræði frá Carleton College.
Deepa hefur tekið þátt í einka- og samsýningum á Íslandi, í Bandaríkjunum og Litháen. Hér á landi hefur hún sýnt verk meðal annars á Listasafni Reykjavíkur – Hafnarhúsi, Kling&Bang, Ásmundarsal (sem hluti af listamannasafninu D.N.A ), og Nýlistasafninu.
Á hátíðinn mun Deepa kynna nýtt verk sem hún kallar SÍÐASTA HLJÓÐIÐ
Hljóð var fyrsta efnissamspil alheims, þrýstibylgjur sem þenjast út í 400.000 ár áður en ljósið skein. Hljóð er yfirgripsmikið, alltumlykjandi, margvítt, summa efnisupplifunar sem mótar og mótast af rýminu sem það breiðist út í og flötunum og áferðunum sem það mætir. Hljóð tengir það-sem-hefur-verið við það-sem-er-að-skella-á, endurómar dýpstu eðlishvöt mannsins, kallar á viðbrögð hvort sem það er til góðs eða ills; til sáttar eða stjórnunnar; til að gleðja eða afvegaleiða, pynta. Hversu langt þar til við sigrumst á hljóðrófinu öllu? Og hversu langt þar til það leiðir til loka okkar? Og séu það lokin, hvað tekur við? Algjör þögn? Eða mun hljóð halda áfram að óma með þunga þess sem var: vera síðast, sem það var fyrst?

Deepa R. Iyengar explores spaces in order to discover within them what is missing, invisible, or unrealized. Her preoccupation with the hidden manifests in installations which are dominated by loaded silences of space or time. Frequently her topics have to do with power, control, and liberation.
Deepa has participated in various solo and group shows in Iceland, Lithuania, and the U.S. In Iceland, some of the places she has shown are Reykjavík Art Museum (Hafnarhús), Kling&Bang, The Living Art Museum, and Ásmundarsalur (Gryfjan) as part of the artist collective D.N.A.
Deepa holds an M.A. degree in Fine Art from the Iceland University of the Arts. She is a resident of Iceland, though originally from the U.S., where she attained an M.Sc. in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a B.A. in Physics and Astronomy from Carleton College.
ENGLISH
At Raflost Deepa will show new work she calls THE LAST SOUND
Sound was the first material interaction of our universe, pressure waves expanding outward for 400,000 years before the universe became transparent to light. Sound is pervasive, omnipresent, multidimensional, a sum of material experiences molding and being molded by the space in which it propagates and the surfaces and textures it encounters. Sound connects what-has-been to what-is-about-to-happen, resonating with the deepest instincts in humans, calling for response whether for good or for evil; for harmony or for control; to bring joy or to disorient, manipulate, torture. How long before we conquer the whole sonic spectrum? And how long before that leads to our end? And if there is an end, what then? Absolute silence? Or will sound continue to resonate with the weight of what was: to be last, as it was first?

Ægir er trommari og tilraunatónlistarmaður frá Reykjavík. Í janúar 2020 frumflutti hann einyrkjaverkefni sitt, þar sem hann kannar nýjar hljómlendur með hjálp safns gítarfetla og annarra hljóðbreytitækja; fyrst um sinn bakvið trommusett en í seinni tíð hefur hann nýtt sér í auknum mæli breiðara úrval hljóðefna (rödd og hringóm spila þar stóra rullu).
Hann hefur gefið út 8 sólóplötur undanfarin fjögur ár, hver þeirra heimur út af fyrir sig.
Á Raflost mun Ægir flytja hljóð/myndverkið BRIDGES for breathing disaster ásamt bróður sínum, Óðni Degi. Óðinn hefur áður forritað myndefni fyrir tónleika Ægis – en í þetta skiptið byggði hann heim sem hann mun kanna, beygla og bjaga í rauntíma, meðan Ægir gerir slíkt hið sama með hljóð.
ENGLISH
Ægir is a drummer and experimental musician from Reykjavík. January 2020 saw the debut of his solo project, where he explores new sonic avenues with the help of a collection of guitar pedals and other sound-manipulating devices; initially from behind the drum kit, lately using and abusing a wider variety of sound sources (voice and feedback play big roles).
He has released 8 solo albums over the last four years, each one a world of its own.
At Raflost, Ægir will perform the audio/visual work BRIDGES for breathing disaster together with his brother, Óðinn Dagur. Óðinn has previously programmed audio-reactive visuals for Ægir’s live shows – but this time he built a world that he will explore, mangle and distort in real time, while Ægir does the same with sound.
The 15th RAFLOST festival will be held in Reykjavík on the 13th-15th of May in various places, including Mengi (and possibly a newly formed micronation). Artists of all forms of electronic expression are invited to send suggestions for installations, performances, music, videos etc to r a f l o s t @ r a f l o s t . i s
Raflosti 2020 consists of four collaborative web art projects by students of Iceland University of the Arts.

Gunnar Gunnarsson myndlistarmaður
Fæddur í Reykjavík 1949 Ég kynntist myndlist snemma, þar sem faðir minn rak Listvinasalinn (Ásmundarsal; nú Listasafn alþýðu) á 6. áratugnum. Fjölskyldan bjó á neðri hæð húsins en sýningarsalur var á efri hæð.
Ég hef alla tíð haft mikinn áhuga á list og listsköpun.
Fyrir tuttugu árum hóf ég að stunda skipulegt myndlistarnám m.a. í Myndlistarskóla Reykjavíkur og Myndlistarskóla Kópavogs. Ennfremur dvaldi ég í Portúgal um nokkurra mánaða skeið, starfaði þar með myndlistarmönnum og tók þátt í sýningum.
Síðan hef ég verið virkur myndlistarmaður.
Um nokkurra ára skeið rak ég sýningarsal, Gunnarssal, á Þernunesi og sýndi þar bæði eigin verk og annarra. Þar voru meðal annars sýndar myndir úr safni foreldra minna, mestmegnis geometrískar afstraktmyndir frá sjötta og sjöunda áratugnum.
Ég hef orðið fyrir miklum áhrifum af Ásmundi Sveinssyni og listamönnum úr „Septemberhópnum“ sem voru tíðir gestir á heimili foreldra minna.
Þrátt fyrir strangflatauppeldið, leitast ég við að mála lífrænar og flæðandi myndir, sem leita út fyrir rammann. Lifræn munúðarfull form vilja ekki hverfa þrátt fyrir einbeittan vilja.
Hið litríka tilfinningalíf listamannahópsins, sem ég kynntist sem ungur, varð síðan að öllum líkindum kveikjan að því að ég las sálfræði og hef starfað sem slíkur. Áhersla mín á því sviði hefur verið frjáls líkamstjáning og hvatning til að örva sköpunargáfuna.
Ég tek þátt í starfi Grósku, félags myndlistarfólks í Garðabæ, og er stjórnarmeðlimur þar. Ég hef tekið þátt i samsýningum utanhúss og haldið fjölda einkasýninga í galleríum, á kaffihúsum og öðrum stöðum, þar sem fólk kemur saman.
Ég mála myndir í olíu, akrýl, geri skúlptúra og hef einnig spreytt mig á grafík og blandaðri tækni.
Ég hef haldið fjölda námskeiða í líkamstjáningu og losun tilfinninga, stundað listmeðferð og unnið með lífefli, Gestalt-tækni , Cranio og Aikido. Ég er virkur í félagi Ellidjarfra MR inga. Ég lít á list sem lífsnauðsynlegan þátt í þroskaferli einstaklings og virkni þjóðfélagsins. Sköpun heldur skaparanum ungum.

Radical Digital Painting groups and presents several ideas and artifacts related to contemporary painting and contextualizes its connection to historical processes and digital technology. It is inspired by and is a continuation of Radical Computer Music.
Through demonstrative, interactive performance lectures, American artist and educator Jeffrey Alan Scudder presents homegrown software inventions and new theories about painting and picture making.
He has performed more than 60 times since 2016 across the US and Europe, mostly in art schools for students, and often with collaborators Goodiepal, Casey REAS, Julia Yerger, and Artur Erman.
A Google search for “digital painting” today mostly brings up Photoshop tutorials related to translating age old representational painting techniques to computational media, but the topic of digital painting has much more to offer fine arts in terms of poetry and theory.
Painting software today has largely developed out of a need for traditional artists to keep up pace of work in large scale mass media production pipelines, like those of video games and movies. Few systems have been developed to explore the spontaneity and spirituality present in modernism and contemporary art and further develop the language of painting in general.
Jeffrey has created several programs that highlight abstract expressivity, play, and improvisation over production quality and technical control.
In addition to software demos, new theoretical models of image resolution, computer literacy, and picture making are illustrated, described, and connected to the history of abstraction in drawing and painting. New ways of approaching drawing are also presented.
He presently spends all his time traveling, performing, and continuing to develop his software and media performances.
From Summer through Winter of 2018 he was traveling and lecturing with the Danish composer Goodiepal and his band GP&PLS throughout Europe. Jeffrey’s work Ten Minute Painting is now a part of the International Goodiepal Collection at the SMK Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Tinna Þorsteinsdóttir premiers works by Magnús Blöndal Jóhannsson, Guðmundur Steinn Gunnarsson and Jesper Pedersen.
Program:
Miðvikudaginn 19. maí mun píanóleikarinn Tinna Þorsteinsdóttir frumflytja píanóverkið Sonorities II frá árinu 1968 eftir Magnús Blöndal Jóhannsson á raflistahátíðinni Raflost í Reykjavík og er því um merkisfrumflutning að ræða. Tinna mun leika píanóverk Magnúsar Sonorities I, II og III á tónleikunum, en þau eru skrifuð á árunum 1963-1972. Magnús samdi röð verka sem bera þetta heiti fyrir mismunandi hljóðfærasamsetningar. Píanóverkin einkennast af tilraunamennsku, en í Sonorities II, sem frumflutt er á þessu tónleikum, leikur Tinna alfarið á strengi píanósins með tólum og tækjum. Þriðja verkið í röðinni, Sonorities III, er samið fyrir píanó og tónband, en Magnús var einn helsti frumkvöðull elektrónískra tónsmíða á Íslandi og þótt víðar væri leitað. Verkið er mjög frjálst í formi, þar sem píanóleikarinn spinnur m.a. yfir hljóðbandið og þar má hlýða á ýmsa tónlistarstíla undir rokk- og djass áhrifum tíðarandans. Magnús var fæddur árið 1925 og hefði því orðið áttatíu og fimm á árinu, en þessi merki maður lést árið 2005. Önnur verk á tónleikunum eru í takt við tilraunagleði Magnúsar. Þar heyrist tónverkið Kalimba frá árinu 2005 fyrir dótapíanó og rafhljóð eftir austurríska tónskáldið Karlheinz Essl og tvö píanóverk verða frumflutt eftir tvö ung tónskáld, þá Guðmund Stein Gunnarsson (Harsamvaða) og Jesper Pedersen (Laser Cat). Í kjölfar tónleikanna verður heimildarmyndin Surtur fer sunnan eftir Ósvald Knudsen frá árinu 1965 um Surtseyjargosið sýnd, en Magnús samdi tónlistina við myndina. Tónlistin samanstendur af hljóðum úr gosinu sjálfu og er því um mjög athyglisverða og merkilega hljóðmynd að ræða.Tónleikarnir hefjast kl: 20 í Sölvhóli, sal Listaháskóla Íslands og eru hluti af hinni árlegu raflistahátíð Raflost sem fram fer þessa dagana. Aðgangur á tónleikana er ókeypis.

During the days of RAFLOST there will be other interesting things in Reykjavik as well:
On tuesday the 18th there is a concert of electronic music by students of Kopavogur Computer Music Center. The concert takes place in Salurinn, Kopavogi, about 20 minute bus trip just outside of Reykjavik. [ Sorry, this concert was moved to the previous week, and is not a part of the festival. Two pieces from that concert were featured on the Saturday 15.5. happening at Útgerðin. ]
The Iceland Art Academy music student concerts will be happening during 17.4 – 30.5 2010. An overview of the concerts can be found here. Its in icelandic but you see that people are marked by their instrument names, except “tónsmíðar” means composition and “nýmiðlar” means new-media.
Also, check the Reykjavik Grapevine for various events in the city.
As you may know, the volcanic activity is decreasing so we hope all flight transportation will be back to normal in time for RAFLOST.
In the meantime, here is a live webcam from the eruption.
