### The Rose and The Rope by Laxá

COVER ART BY FRASER CORMACK - Angry sky over Mosstodloch

In Ísafjörður, Iceland, Laxá's evocative piece "The Rose and The Rope" unfolds without words, instead conveying emotions through its music. With a blend of 80s reggae-influenced bass and post-rock guitars and strings, the composition creates a rich, immersive experience.

Bjarne Guðjohnsen's bass pulses with the deep, resonant groove reminiscent of 80s reggae, setting the stage for the journey. Matthias Helguson's drums join with a steady pace, their beats echoing through the fjord's stillness. Jussi Siglarson's guitar melodies soar and dive, embodying the post-rock essence with layers of emotion. Mike Taylor's keyboards add ethereal textures, blending with the ensemble's soundscape.

The Heima Kvartett—Lisbeth Heima (violin), Sif Árnadóttir (violin), Natasha Guðmundsdóttir (viola), and Ída Sigurðardóttir (cello)—enrich the piece with their strings. Lisbeth and Sif's violins intertwine like fragile rose vines, while Natasha's viola adds haunting undertones and Ída's cello provides depth and strength.

Together, the music represents the delicate balance between beauty and resilience, akin to the rose and rope symbolizing life's contrasts. The composition evolves, capturing Iceland's rugged beauty and emotional depth.

### The Origin of the Title

The title "The Rose and The Rope" has a poignant backstory. During a tour, Jussi Siglarson and Bjarne Guðjohnsen stayed in a remote village. Their host, an elderly woman, had a unique artifact hanging on her wall—a dried rose tied with a rugged rope. Intrigued, Jussi asked about its significance.

The woman recounted a tale from her youth. During a harsh winter, the village was cut off by snowstorms, and supplies were scarce. The young woman tended a rose bush through the winter, finding solace in its survival. Her future husband, determined to support the village, crafted a rope to brave the snow and gather provisions.

In spring, as the village emerged from the cold, the rose bloomed, symbolizing resilience. On their wedding day, the man gave the rose tied with the rope to the woman, representing their balance of beauty and strength.

Moved by this story, Laxá adopted "The Rose and The Rope" as the title, reflecting the harmonious blend of emotions and themes in their music. It symbolizes unity, strength, and beauty amidst adversity, encapsulating the essence of their composition.

Lyrics:

Alone in my room, the outside's a blur
An eighties glow from my monitor
Old films play on VHS tape
But the snow outside slowly takes shape

But I don't care, it's all the same
In my world, there's a different game

Digital snow falling from the screen
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

You may howl, the streets are bare
But here I sit without a care
Thought the disc's hung, loading slow
As winter's tale outside starts to grow

These falling stars, they speak to me
My screensaver's all I need to see

Digital snow falling from the screen 
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

Alone but happy in my silent space
The digital flicks keep up their pace
They understand the way I feel 
In this empty world, they're all that's real

Digital snow falling from the screen
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

Digital snow falling from the screen
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

Let it BE Xmas

While playing with AI music generation to create non-English vocals a few interesting voices evolved. These got worked into the tracks "eediloom" and "imersaan".
