Vol. I by Vogor

The album Vogor Vol. I was born during the winter months of 2019 in Iceland when few harpmelody
ideas were being trown back and forth between the members of the band, bassist and baritonist Árni
Þór Árnason, harpist Lárus Sigurðsson and guitarist Ólafur Josephsson. Incidentally, they are also
members of the Icelandic band Stafrænn Hákon which has release a number of albums through out
the years. These aforementioned wintery harpmelodies gradually took shape in the hands of
Vogormen and after only few weeks of intense musical sculpturing, 11 instrumental songs were
finalized, mixed and mastered, and a new album was born.
Three other musicians were summoned to give this album their invaluable musical creativity and
sonic texture; Jóhannes Ólafsson played drums, Þröstur Sigurðsson played the trombone and Fjalar
Sigurðarson played tuba.
The music can perhaps best be described as a fusion between neo-classical music and joyous lofi rock
where delicate harp melodies are embraced by uninhibited sonic power, together forming inventive
soundscapes and textures for the 21st century human mind and heart alike.

Vogor Vol. I was recorded, mixed and mastered in Vogor Studios in Reykjavík and self released via
Vogor Records, a label dedicated to nurturing creative, independent musicians and releasing their
works in a selfsustainable way with concepts like fair-trade in mind.

Mixed and mastered by Ólafur Josephsson in Vogor Studios, Reykjavík.
