This album was originally released by 12 Tónar in 2006 under the moniker Lost In Hildurness, and it is the first solo recording from Hildur Gudnadóttir (who is a member of the Nix Noltes band and has performed regularly with múm and Pan Sonic). In her dreamy soundworld she plays the cello, gamba, zither, khuur and the gamelan, so this CD sounds like nothing else. This is exciting, tranquil, and melancholic stuff and at times it makes you think of a lost place and times gone by -- and the music has the power to take you there. Recording sessions took place both in New York and in a house in Hólar, Iceland, specifically chosen for its good cello acoustics. It is strictly a solo album as Hildur attempted to "involve other people as little as I could." Like the cover art, it is personal and intimate. It has been called "the perfect soundtrack to get lost in a forest at night," but this version, mastered by Denis Blackham, sounds fresher and better than ever. Photography and design by Jon Wozencroft.
