Composer and artist Nathan Hall will transform the house Brekka (Austurvegur 44b) into an installation called FOSSH\u00daS. The three floors will have sound and visual works that can be discovered. Works include underwater recordings, musical graphic scores, watercolors, and video performances.\u00a0Works have all been made in the last two months while on residency at Skaftfell. They are inspired by Dvergasteinn, Bu\u00f0ar\u00e1foss, Steinasafn Petru, and the recent passing of the artist’s grandmother.
\nThe house will be quite dark; only a few people are allowed in at one time for safety, and for keeping the sound works audible to experience. There will be someone to help you navigate the space.\u00a0After you tour FOSSH\u00daS please join us next door in the Skaftfell Bistro for a reception.<\/p>\n

Nathan Hall<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>uses music as an artistic medium to explore a variety of fields including science, nature, the fine arts, history, and sexuality. Many of Nathan\u2019s works are based on his travels, mapping out a geography of his experiences while taking the listener on their own personal journey. He is a former Fulbright Fellow to Iceland, and has a Doctorate in Musical Arts from the University of Colorado, Boulder. He currently lives in Denver, Colorado.<\/span>
During Nathan\u2019s residency at Skaftfell, he has\u00a0documented sights, sounds, and activities in Sey\u00f0isfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and East Iceland, and has used\u00a0those moments as inspiration for a new set of small works in sound, music, and video. He is working on interpreting elements of nature and landscape into musical graphic scores, which can be admired as visual art but also performed as music.<\/span><\/p>\n
