Composer Valgeir Sigurðsson did a great job of scoring fabled documentary Dreamland (read all about the film – and win tickets to
a screening P. 15). His music plays a big role in the documentary, and serves to emphasise
its important message. To create the score, Valgeir drafted in the
all-star Bedroom Community team with the expected results. The track on
offer, Grýlukvæði, is likely to be one of the more chilling pieces of
music you’ll hear this year. Based on an ancient Icelandic folk song,
the BC gang’s re-arrangement is inventive and moving. Sam Amidon sings
the tune (in Icelandic!), Nico Muhly played piano and organ, Ben Frost
created electronics and beats and Valgeir produced and mixed
everything.
