ICELAND by Matt Stober

______________________________________________________________

This album was entirely written and recorded in three days (May 24th-26th) in Stöðvarfjörður Iceland, at Studio Silo, in the Fish Factory Creative Center.

I traveled to Iceland for four days expecting to write a bit and maybe record a track or two, bringing only two mics, two kalimbas, and a portable interface. I was asked if I could tune a piano in the studio at the Fish Factory in Stöðvarfjörður. They very graciously gave me access to their wonderful studio for the rest of my stay. I was so floored and overwhelmed by the scale and intensity of nature there that a whole nine-track album flowed out. facilitated by the beautiful instruments in their studio, motivated by the transient, fleeting circumstance of my stay, and inspired by the jaw-dropping mountains, volcanic landscapes, and features of that small and extremely remote town.
