Svefn-g-englar

A couple of days ago I mentioned “arguably the most gorgeous ten minutes of music ever composed” — that’s a pretty bold statement, I know.

Well, if you’re curious about what that ten minutes sounds like, download the song and find out for yourself. It’s best if you listen with the lights off, and with patience; it won’t have much of an impact unless you concentrate and give it a chance. If you do give it a (metaphorical) spin, let me know what you think.

After listening to the song, you might also want to check out the video, itself quite stunning. It features members of the Perlan Theater Group, an Icelandic troupe of actors with Down Syndrome, dressed as angels and dancing in slow motion. If you’re willing to leave your cynicism at the door, it’s beautiful.

The last few days have been a blur. People have left (sadly), and more people have come in. IHouse is hopping, as school starts in three days and most people have nothing to do. Of course, I do, but I’m diligently avoiding it as usual.

Gonna hang out with Wing and Jen tomorrow. Yesssss!!!
