Völuspa (The Song of the Sibyl) is based on the ancient poem Völuspá in the Icelandic Eddukvædi,
and was composed in the years 1996-2000. The composition tells the story of the creation of the 
world from the time when the Old Nordic Gods lived in peace and freedom in Asgar›ur, their 
holy home, to doomsday when the world is destroyed. However the end is full of hope. The word rises    
 again more blissful and better than before.

In the composition, as in the poem Völuspa, the Sybil addresses  Odinn, the chief of the Gods, the
 other Gods and the human citizens, warning them about what is to become. The Sybil appears as 
different personalities, she changes her nature; sometimes speaking as a young girl and other times
as a divine song Goddess. 
       
The work is constructed from simple melodies, mysterious tunes and concrete sounds from the nature and 
the old folklore song called Ar var alda.
       The composition is funded by The National Radio Composer Funds.

Dark Days II was composed 1998 and premiered as a part of 
 the Reykjavik Culture Night program the same year.
In the work, an attempt is made to fuse various compositional
 methods and musical styles, from jazz, contemporary music, rock,
 and pop music. The aim is not to produce a suite of some sort; 
rather to fuse into one various aspects of these different styles.

Dance is dedicated to a Dance Company in Aarhus in Denmark 
and was premiered there 1996. It is an original mixture of many 
short segments, which give the dancer opportunity to express 
and bring into being various characters.

Gullveig for contrabass-recorder and tape was composed 1998 and is dedicated to
 Camilla Söderberg contrabass-recorder player. Gullveig is one of the characters in 
Völuspa, but the Gods killed her three times in a row causing endless bloodshed and wars.  
She is thought to symbolise the evil power of gold.
