Magnetic Magazine Presents: Ambient Meditations Vol 9 - Hugar

For Volume 9 we are joined by Icelandic duo Hugar consisting of
multi-instrumentalists, Bergur Þórisson and Pétur Jónsson. Their
music might be described as minimalistic, with only the essential
emotive layers to fill in the "white space." You might say there
is a certain Icelandic quality to their sound, wide open and
dreamy with artifacts of such greats as Ólafur Arnalds and Jóhann
Jóhannson, with whom they have also collaborated. Their new
album, The Vasulka Effect: Music For The Motion Picture, is out
on Sony Music Masterworks later this year on October 2nd. This
project is a unique concept, both an inspiring and unique album
that is an extension of the original soundtrack they did for the
documentary on visual artists Vasulka. For the mix, we are taken
on an extensive journey of both familiar and unfamiliar, with a
variety of feelings and textures - it is also the most extended
mix we have ever had on the show. So put on the headphones and
get to know the sounds of Hugar.
