"The story of Aud the Deep-Minded has been
immensely inspiring to me, this strong Viking woman who showed great courage throughout her life,
through her travels from Norway to Scotland and north to Iceland. My own musical interests seep into
this work, from the droning of the hardanger fiddle in Norwegian folk music, to the restless energy of
Scottish and Irish dance tunes, to field recordings of wind and ice made in rural Iceland. I wish to thank
Katherine Wren for bringing this project to life, and for shining a light on these important historical
figures from the Icelandic sagas - giving new voice to their stories." - Linda Buckley - supported by PRS Foundation Women Make Music

About 200 PIECES:

As part of its Bicentenary celebrations, the Royal Academy of Music embarked on an ambitious project, inviting 200 composers to write 200 new works for solo instrument or voice. The recordings and scores for these works, written for every principal study instrument taught at the Academy, are now available, creating a new library of varied contemporary works by many of the world’s leading composers.

Buckley - Fiach

Co-mixed with @Aasthma.

There are few people who have had as much of an impact on contemporary electronic music as Karin Dreijer, whether with their brother Olof in The Knife or with their solo project, Fever Ray. From massive indie-pop hits to paradigm-shifting dance records, Dreijer's work takes a psychedelic, plasticine approach to synth pop, with their trademark pitch-shifted vocals and psuedo-tropical beats. As Fever Ray, they've tapped into the global club music underground, working with producers like Nídia, Paula Temple, Deena Abdelwahed, Vessel and, on new album Radical Romantics—one of our favourite albums of the year so far at RA, hands down—even Nine Inch Nails.

Other important collaborators in Dreijer's world are Peder Mannerfelt and Pär Grindvik, the Swedish techno producers who have been working with Fever Ray since the first album back in 2009. They co-mixed this RA Podcast. The mix is a survey of Dreijer's favourite dance music, some of which informs their one-of-a-kind sound world as Fever Ray. There's plenty of music from the groundbreaking East African scene centered around Nyege Nyege Tapes, plus DJ Haram, Equinkoxx, Tayhana and more, and even two exclusive, upcoming Fever Ray remixes from Avalon Emerson and Nifra. It's a rare look into the musical tastes of a true visionary.

fiol was commissioned by the Rothko String Trio (Cliodhna Ryan - violin, Cian Ó Dúill - viola & Robin Michael - cello) in 2008 with funds provided by the Arts Council of Ireland. The soundworld of this piece was inspired by the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle (hardingfele). 'Fiol' was the predominant term used for 'fiddle' in DanishNorwegian of the 17th and 18th centuries. This instrument is mainly used for the performance of Norwegian folk music and is similar in construction to the violin, but with eight or nine strings. Four of the strings are strung and played like a violin, and the remaining strings, called 'sympathetic strings' resonate 'in sympathy' with the other four. Here I was interested in treating the trio as a single twelve-stringed 'meta-instrument' rather than as three separate voices, almost like a hardingfele or Baroque viola d'amore with sympathetic resonating strings. This is a live recording of the premiere at the Hugh Lane Gallery Dublin, 2008.
