Damien @ Iceland Airwaves
 

Damien plays a surprise act today at 17:30 at kaffibarinn. I'm there already :-)

Ha! I was wondering if he would play at airwaves just last week... :)
Wish I could be there... Enjoy!

Thats the Setlist

The Professor
The Box
Volcano
I Remember
The Greatest Bastard
and i dont remember the last song right now..

He played with the band he recorded the new album with (Joel as well) - which was really nice having a richer sound again :)
There were dozens of recordings made, gonna pop up on youtube in no time.

Heading out for more gigs now.

is the last song a new one?
and can you tell us more on the band? who plays in it apart from joel and which instruments?? and did he say anything about the album recording or release?

ps. look what i've found! Chrysler isn't it you behind joel?

yap, me. *scared*
(the guy from icelandairwaves taped and filmed most of the show :) )

The "band" is icelandic folks. It's gonna say on the album cover..don't really know.
I only knew the drummer an joel.

There was a cellist and a guy playing the trumpet (didnt see him much).
However the vibe was very good, let's look forward to the new album - i assume in 1-2Q2014 - lets speculate ;)

On and no he didn't say anything about the new albums status. He just said that he's been in the studio with the guys. Assuming to my interpreation of the tone the studio time is over. ^^

Oh and no "new" songs at that time.

I'm so excited right now I have an erection. I am really pumped to hear that Joel recorded with him. I hope that means we will get a more experimental album, 2007 live looped pedestrian-esque sound.

The cellist wasn't Vyv? Was the drummer Brendan Buckley?

This guy posted another picture

you can see the cellist. definitely not Vyv :)

wow great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read the other day about Iceland Airwaves but thought it was local Icelandic bands only!!!!! if I had knew!!!!!

cannot wait to hear The Box & Bastard with the full band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cannot find anything on YT yet...

thanks for sharing!!!

didn't he record in the studio like 5 years ago with a trumpet guy from Iceland???? maybe it's the same guy... but cannot recall the name

is the guy playing the trumpet helgi johnsson? http://www.helgijonsson.com/

and who is the drummer?

The Drummer is Shahzad Ismaily. Dunno the other musicians. Oh its a trombone, not a trumpet.

My cell phone is not suitable for recording louder music, so the videos i made (The Box and Greatest Bastard) are awful to listen to in some parts and the Auto-Focus is - **** - as well. :(
Will upload to youtube anyway...
The Greatest Bastard stays an acoustic song, no other instruments played along.

But but The Box was with the band??

Glo, cannot be the Johnsson guy cos Ive just read hes playing here in my town tonight snd yesterday he played Copenhagen

so is that your video? if so, do you also have The Bastard????

Yes, i will upload it when i am back home tomorrow.

cannot imagine a 15 minute long version of Delicate :read2: :smiley2:

Thank you, Chrysler! Wow, you were so close I thought at first you were part of the band.

(My phone does the same thing with audio when the music gets loud)

Yeah ive also been wondering if its two songs when slicing the recording into tracks..
Its an improvised jam that completely went nuts, thats why its 15 mins.

MP3 Version is online. PM me for link.
WAV Version will be posted ondimeadozen as usual.

I love when he goes off on improvisational tangents like that..

The woman in the picture doesn't look like Hildur, though. Maybe he's wrong?

yesterday I googled "Iceland cellist" and that Hildur was the only name I got... checked some pics and I kinda thought it was her, but wasn't 100% positive, she changes a lot from pic to pic...

Hehe... I did the same thing, but I thought it wasn't her.
She looks very different to me, but it's hard to tell, because she has part of a cello in front of her face :)

Thank you very much for all the info, guys. I'm loving the detective work you're doing here :D

Looking forward to your recording as well, Chrysler. Thanks in advance :smiley20:

That's not Hildur, it's Gyða Valtýsdóttir who's recently rejoined múm. She's awesome. That's really cool that she's playing with Damien.

Yeah, that's the girl, thanks Daavo.
