The Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts and the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT) present an Open Rehearsal with artist Valgeir Sigurðsson on Wednesday, February 21, 2018 in The Cube at the Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech.
This is a rare opportunity to experience the Cube's unique spatial audio environment.
Valgeir Sigurðsson is an Icelandic composer, producer and founder of Greenhouse Studios and the Bedroom Community record label. As much as he could be described as a speculative post-minimalist with a challenging post-punk sensibility and a fascination with glitch and improvisation, conventionally an acoustic classical musician with deep working knowledge of the astonishing sonic potential of electronics and an unabashed love for the beauty and brains of weird pop, Valgeir Sigurðsson is an inspired, industrious maker of a spectacular northern music, of an uncanny soul music, a fiendish, visceral folk music.
He has released three solo albums—"Ekvílibríum," "Dreamland," and "Architecture of Loss" and has collaborated with artists such as Björk, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, CocoRosie, Feist, Damon Albarn, and the Kronos Quartet.
As adept at working in electronic and studio settings, and generating evocative soundtracks for film or composing orchestral and chamber pieces, his work for theatre, dance and installations demonstrates how Sigurðsson thinks like a painter and sculptor as much as sound artist and musician.
"Touching Extremes" has called his work, “one of the most open-eared talents in that no man’s land between experimental and potentially market-gratifying music.”
