I really appreciate his take on the seemingly impenetrable line between classical on other kinds of music. Yeah, keep blurring the line! Kill it. Thank you! Here in the USA, I think that situation is even more pronounced but what do I know, as I’ve never been :( to Iceland. Also, a flute is a machine, yes? It can make you cry too. I know because it has.
Thank you Bjarki and co-workers for being a ‘keeper of memories’. The work you are doing is so important for the understanding of the deep cultural connection between people of Icelandic descent in North America and our roots in Iceland.
