Hildur Gudnadottir's new album 'Leyfdu ljosinu' (Icelandic for 'Allow the light'), was recorded live at the Music Research Centre, University of York, in January 2012 by Tony Myatt, using a SoundField ST450 Ambisonic microphone and two Neumann U87 microphones. (NB - It was not played in a concert environment and there was no audience.)
To be faithful to time and space - elements vital to the movement of sound - this album was recorded entirely live, with no post-tampering of the recordings' own sense of occasion.
A multichannel version (Touch # TO:90USB) is also available - a 2GB USB stick in hand-made (by the artist) paper cover.You can read more about this here.

Hildur to tour with David Sylvian
December 2, 2011: Permalink: » Hildur to tour with David Sylvian
Hildur has been invited to join David Sylvian's 2012 "Implausible Beauty" tour. Hildur will be performing cello, vocals and electronics.
"I will be joining the lovely David Sylvian next year for his Europe tour. It is a very exciting ride and I hope to see you all out there somewhere."
Update:
It is with great sadness that we announce that David Sylvian will be unable to undertake the scheduled tour in March and April 2012. David has sustained a lower back injury that is causing him significant pain and affecting his mobility to such a degree that, at this time, he will be unable to perform. His management are hoping that with medical care his condition will improve siginificantly, and that we'll be able to reschedule the tour at a later date. We're doing all that we can to bring this unanticipated setback to a positive conclusion.
