For all those who know me, you know that I’m an enormous Sigur Ros fan. I grew up in a musical family. My mother loved Motown and the Beatles, my father Classical Music and I loved anything Contemporary. As I grew older though I started to listen to music that spoke to my values and beliefs, the values and beliefs that led me to love contemporary architecture, design and contemporary art. I love to explore new ways of looking at the world, new ways of looking at how one lives and breaths and how I can continue to shape my own world. Sigur Ros is one of those avenues of exploration, one of those groups of artists that continues to expand the boundaries and limitations of music and art.
For the 10th anniversary of the release of their album ‘Agaetis Byrjun,’ they sent out an email to share with us a live performance from their record release party at the Icelandic Opera House on the night of June 10, 1999.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
