Guðjón, or Gaui, is a good friend of mine. We have weekly meetings that consists of drinking coffee and making amature music videos. Last february on my birthday, Guðjón wanted to give me a party instead of a present. He, his wife Vigga, daughter Þóra and a few other friends made a buffet of food and drinks. After dinner Guðjón walked in the next room and got his guitar, sat down, and gave the party a private concert. I was in aw, and it was great! A few weeks later I asked him, over a steaming hot cup of Néscafé, if I could film him playing a few songs. He was hesitant at first but eventually came around. He is a great performer and a great guy…enjoy!

I filmed a concert at Nordatlantens Brygge in Copenhagen the other day. LayLow, Agent Fresco and Mugison where playing, 6 songs per band and after each set there was a Q and A with the artists. A nice sitting down cozy experience for everybody I think. A huge learning experience for me and a lot of time went into “figuring everything out” but here is what I got! :)

Huge thanks to Höddi and Íris for taking part and for their cameras, tripods, computers, positivity, time and effort! takktakktakk!!! 

To Bryggen and to Júlía….million thanks! 

Enjoy!!

This is Halla Norðfjörð, a sweet girl with a beutiful voice. 

How this session happened?…well, I was originally going to film ET Tumason around Christmas, but he went to iceland for the holidays…so I asked him if he knew of any other musicians that might be nice to document. He recommended her, she said “lets go!” and when I scheduled to filmed ET Tumason, she tagged along…they come in a pair…Enjoy…

p.s. A little shaky…apologies…

This guy is ET Tumason. The first time I saw him play was in a small bar in Copenhagen maybe 2 years ago. Me, Elliði and a small group of people ended up doing several encores in the restroom of the bar before getting thrown out long after closing time! He plays delta blues and I am an enormous fan, I hope you enjoy.

p.s. Massive thanks to Höddi for lending me his camera and spending a whole weekend running around my crazy ideas!

The first of many to come!

Here are the first two videos of many more to come. I’ll never claim to be a perfectionist, but as a filmmaker I do try. I have promised myself to upload everything I shoot, no matter if the shots are shaky, grainy, under/overexposed ect. I will do my best every time and what ever I get in the can is what I have to work with….one day, one take, thats it!. Being that how it is, this project is a learning process for me and in the long run will help me become a better filmmaker. I hope you enjoy the results as much as I enjoy filming and making them.

About:

Well, Here it is...My name is Daði and I have decided to start the ambitious project of documenting contemporary culture in Iceland. I will make short videos of musicians playing, authors reading, visual artists creating, actors performing and any other craft I can find or think of. I want to capture these people in their studios, in the streets, and in their living rooms. After editing I give the video and audio to the artist so that he/she may use it in wich ever way useful to them. It seems only fair...the artist gives me a performance and  I give my work in return...thats the idea at least.
