Today, RÚV English Radio meets composer Gísli Gunnarsson.

Last year he relased 'Mementos', a double-LP where the concept was that each track had a different friend featuring as a guest artist. It included people like Georg Holm of Sigur Rós, Laufey Soffía of Kælan Mikla, Mat McNerney of Hexvessel, and more. In March he released ' Wings of Glass', a collaboration with French band Alcest.

Gísli is from Grindavík, and so has been evacuated from the town since November.

Darren met Gísli to hear his story and his music (https://open.spotify.com/artist/6ip3tJTPbVT3JJebd7ih9c?si=3mQLMCyjRP-R6wcizMs9Lg)
