R-O-R refers to the chemical compound ether, when two elements come together to create entirely different matter. This ethereal compound also gives its name to the collaboration between Icelandic musicians Gyða Valtýsdóttir and Úlfur Hansson, whose new album AUGA brings together the two musicians in a unique new work of cosmic alchemy.
On AUGA the two musicians combine like electrons to create an expansive sound-world that feels like entering the landscape of a dream. The elements here are both earthly and alchemical: evocations of rain, geology, wind entangle with the oneiric and celestial. Úlfur’s self-made synthesiser soars and segues with sparkling harmonic threads of Gyða’s cello, creating a tapestry in which matter entwines with a luminous sense of the spectral.
