Rikhardur H. Fridriksson: Mea culpa - Sól (2007)

"Sól" (2007) is my solo part of "Mea culpa" a bigger work done by my band, Icelandic Sound Company. This is a live recording of a solo electric guitar with live sound processing. Every sound you hear gomes from the guitar, either directly or recorded a few seconds before.

Sól is mostly based on the “small sounds”, the sounds that are so soft that they are hardly ever used - being not really audible. A healthy amount of amplification sets that situation right and opens up a new world of sounds the computer can chew on. Then the sounds are not so small anymore.

Recorded live at Hallgrimskirkja, Reykjavik, Iceland on May 23rd 2007.
