Gaman að kynnast þér // Pleased to meet you! 

An encounter between two performers of the Icelandic ensemble Nordic Affect playing baroque instruments, two members of the Vietnamese group The Six Tones playing traditional Vietnamese instruments, and two musicians from the Intelligent Instruments Lab at University of Iceland. Each musician brings their individual instrumental skills and the performance practice of their instrument, and their cultural resonances, to a production based on the attentive listening characteristic of free improvisation, and the explorative approaches characteristic of experimentation with electronic media. The production was produced by Nordic Affect,  in collaboration with the ERC-funded Intelligent Instruments Lab. The concert was produced with funding from The Icelandic Ministry of Culture’s Music Fund and Reykjavík City.
