Erting (2020):
The piece is based on recordings from natural and urban soundscapes from Reykjavík, Southern California and Paris. The original recordings are from various pretty different phenomena, but the common theme is sound based on impulses, either regular as in close to pulse waves or irregular, closer to rattling. Then it goes off on an abstract journey of its own. 
Most of the sounds are at least mildly irritating, hence the title; the Icelandic word for irritation.

Rikhardur H. Fridriksson (b. 1960) studied composition in Reykjavík, New York, Siena and The Hague. His teachers included Atli Heimir Sveinsson, Thorkell Sigurbjörnsson, Elias Tanenbaum, Franco Donatoni and Clarence Barlow.

His works have been performed and broadcast in many countries. He has received a working grants from the Icelandic government, the DV cultural prize, and a mention at the Bourges sound art competition.

He lives in Reykjavik, composing and teaching electronic music at Iceland University of the Arts.

His music falls into two general categories; he either makes pure electro-acoustic music, working mostly with natural sounds and their movement in space, or he does live improvisations, playing electric guitar, processed through live electronics. In that field he either appears alone or with the group Icelandic Sound Company.

In his spare time he can be caught playing punk rock at various locations.
