Restocked. First release on the Radio Bongo label from Iceland, run by Gus Gus. "I am a pianist, composer, improviser, performing artist and a multitasking musician in life, currently living and working in Reykjavík. I was born in 1978 in Seyoisfjörour, Iceland and have been playing the piano and keyboards since the age of 9. My main focus and interest is in improvisation, composition and performance of music -- how improvisation and composition can meet effortlessly as a creation of musical ideas and sounds. I am also mindful of the general passion and drive behind the creation of things, in what way they are presented and passed on to people, in music, arts and life in general. Since childhood I've collaborated with a whole spectrum of artists, from obscure troubadours in the countryside to stadium bands, covering all fields of music, both in Iceland and abroad. I have also composed and arranged a great deal of music for theater, film, art installations, performances and videos of all kinds. I released my first album Rask in 2002, and now I am currently composing and working on a series of records with solo piano music for Radio Bongo with Improvised Pianoworks I as the first Radio Bongo release." --David Thor Jonsson
