hildur gudnadottir: saman

This album is about resonance: on Saman, which means "together," Hildur Gudnadóttir melts her voice with her cello, connecting the two instruments together. All tracks composed, performed and recorded by Gudnadóttir in Berlin, except "Heyr Himnasmiður" (track 4), composed by Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson, lyrics by Kolbeinn Tumason. Cello made by David Wiebe in 1991 (Cello nr 49). Track 6, bass by Skúli Sverrisson, string fretted cello built by Hans Jóhannsson, resonated through two grand pianos. Tracks 1, 4 and 6 recorded by Francesco Donadello. All tracks mixed by Francesco Donadello and Hildur Guðnadóttir at Vox-Ton Studio, Berlin.
