Composing Music in Iceland

It's nice to be back home. I missed my family, my friends, and my bed. Heck, I even missed seeing the moon and the stars (I didn't see a night sky all week). 

When I was away, 2500 miles from home, I was very inspired by the creation around me. This past week was one of my most creative weeks in recent memory. I took photographs, shot videos, and I even managed to compose a brand new piece of music. 

The piece is titled "ævintýri". It's Icelandic for "adventure". 

It's a very simple piece of music. In fact, I think it's the simplest thing I have ever composed. It's only two chords and clocks in at under 3 minutes. 

It's simplicity is what makes my like it so much.

Here's the album art for the single. The photo was taken from the top of Hallgrímskirkja, a church in the middle of Reykjavík. 

You can listen to and download "ævintýri" for free at projectatlantic.bandcamp.com or click the "Music" tab at the top of the page.

Thanks for listening.
