Gjóta by Ótal
This album is like an audio diary; a fraction of scribbles I have been putting down during the last year. Some was written for Ella's exhibition in New York, some was written for my garden using found sounds recorded in the garden. All of it is about challenging inner and outer space.
Composed, mixed and produced by Óskar Þór Arngrímsson.
Cover Art: Ella Medicus.
Instruments: Buchla 200, Oberheim OB-6, and Make Noise modular system, singing bowls, glockenspiel, typewriter.
