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 1986. 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)
