Poems’ the collaborative debut DG album from Icelandic composer, conductor and producer Viktor Orri Árnason and soprano and visual artist Álfheiður Erla Guðmundsdóttir, is released worldwide on 10 November – on CD, on vinyl and digitally. Its ten exquisite tracks draw on the pair’s shared cultural heritage, setting poems by Icelandic poets past and present, including lyrics by Árnason and Guðmundsdóttir themselves. Viktor adds piano accompaniment to Álfheiður’s hushed, floating vocals throughout, at times playing violin and viola as well, with some tracks featuring additional strings (members of the Reykjavík Orkestra) and/or subtle electronic elements. The duo found inspiration in the work of Ólöf Sigurðardóttir frá Hlöðum (1857-1933), Hulda (1881-1946), Guðfinna Jónsdóttir frá Hömrum (1899-1946), Sigurður Pálsson (1948-2017) and Arndís Lóa Magnúsdóttir (b.1994). Drawn to poetry that speaks of vulnerability and solitude, change and renewal, the beauty of the natural world, and the power of words to express our dreams and innermost selves, they were also inspired to write their own poems, each contributing one new text to the album. Árnason hopes ‘Poems’ will encourage listeners to be mindful: “Poems is in many ways about the joys and struggles in life and how being present can help you through.”

BLIKNA
Vaknaði við morgunsöng flögrandi vina
sem sváfu kannski lengur en ég
sváfu í myrkrinu og misstu af kvöldsöngnum
hjúfra sér vissu ekki að
hljóðlát nóttin
var lognið á undan
þessum
bleika
blíða
degi
fölnandi
umvefjandi
rósirnar mínar og ég
hlustuðum á
drunurnar þungu
þrumurnar
undir blundandi
bliknandi blöðunum,
biðum dimmra stunda
draumheima endurfunda


WITHER
Woken up by the dawn chorus
of feathered friends
that perhaps slumbered
longer than I
slept in the darkness
and missed the evening song
cuddling
did not know
that the silent night
was the calm before
this
pink
soft
day
my withering
embracing
roses and I
listened to the
thud
heavy
thunders
under the sleeping
withering pedals,
awaiting dark hours
dreamworld encounters
