Projects
Kristján is currently working on releasing the CD Secret Psalms that consists of works for double bass and electronics. This is a very exciting project but expensive so although two of the five works that will be included on the CD has been recorded, the project will only be released by a professional and a strong label if third party financing can be optained. Kristján has other projects in mind such as recording Icelandic folk music in the style of renaissance music that brings piece and ease to the soul of the listener. Also making concerts in hospitals, prisons and for the elderly to inspire people that life is good and that there is a higher purpose and meaning to our existence.
