Jan Krti
ka: I spent one month in Sey?isfj?r?ur exploring its surroundings. The Icelandic landscape is very specific and?something I had never experienced before. We all know photographs of the Icelandic landscape. But does anybody know how Iceland sounds? I recorded sounds of some places around Sey?isfj?r?ur and placed them at?aporee.org?website to share my acoustic experience of this exceptional place.
