In 2008, GKO+Melax + Dean Ferrel recorded this piece which had been fixed in GKO's mind since the death of his sister Vivan in 1995.  So here is Vivaldi for Vivan.

Laude Purre, Psalm 112, by Antonio Vivaldi

The Planck mass defines a fundamental scale where quantum gravitational effects become significant. By re-expressing the Planck mass equation, we derive a relation involving fundamental constants that connects gravitational and electromagnetic quantities. This relation suggests that gravitons, as quanta of spacetime with spin-2, can be understood as elementary quantum vortices formed by two photons with spin-1 moving within the light cones of Lorentzian spacetime. Incorporating the concept of spacetime torsion, we analyze this connection within the framework of quantum field theory and quantum geometry, providing insights into the quantum structure of spacetime. Furthermore, we explore how processes such as cavitation, fission of spacetime, or polarization can lead to the formation of particle-antiparticle pairs, such as proton-positron pairs, in addition to gamma rays. We formulate the concept of an electromagnetic molecule of a quantum of spacetime, denoted as gamma2G, and discuss its implications for the unification of gravity and light.

Patre is based on the Icelandic national anthem. Written by GKO in 1984, it adheres to every stricture of copyright and the statutes applying to the Icelandic National Anthem. It is GKO’s ode to his country and countrymen. The piece was originally recorded in the Elgar Sessions with Björk in 1987. The text is read by Megas with words taken from GKO’s comments on magic numbers and Platonic polyhedra - along with additional words from a poem by one of Björks boyfriends (Þór Eldon)

Patre, Track #4 from the album "Dense Time" (2006)

Mjötviður til Fóta was a CD album released in 2001 by GKO and HOH, to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the proper version of the band ÞEYR (1981-1983), and is a compilation from the albums "Mjötviður Mær" and "Iður til Fóta", both released in 1981. The tracks for this album were selected with universality in mind, so the more "local" tracks that addressed Icelandic audience were not included. This album was printed in 1500 units, and sold out in 2010 and has not been reissued - while we will possibly do a vinyl version in 2021 to celebrate the 40 year anniversary of the said proper band ÞEYR.
