Poco Apollo

First solo album by me, released on Mengi Records in October 2019. Based on photos from the moon, fed through a custom music generator creating the compositions.

String performances by Ásta Kristín Pjetursdóttir, Sólrún Ylfa Ingimarsdóttir, Sverrir Arnórsson, Borgar Magnason and Þórdís Gerður Jónsdóttir. String recordings by Albert Finnbogason. Mastered by Friðfinnur Oculus Sigurðsson. Cover artwork by Albert Muñoz.
