About Me


Once upon a time there was this guy. He played a lot with his calculator. One day he found out he could spell his name out with the calculator. Therefore he naturally decided to become an electronic musician by the name the calculator had provided for him. Since then three albums have been spewed out of his brain and onto plastic discs full of musical holes. The fourth album has been on its way for a while, now... It's not here, yet, but it will be here soon... Maybe... Until then enjoy the tracks shown above.
You can now buy my third album from me through PayPal, since smekkleysa.net don't have it anymore.

Þið eruð ekki að taka mig nógu bókstaflega

18 tracks, or 77 minutes for only $10!


My website, which is in the making, contains two albums to listen to, and (if I got it right) to download as well. Take a look at it:
...and you can also enjoy the tracks posted on my Iceland Airwaves profile
I also have a track on this here Weird and Wired sampler.
...and yet another track on this Aerotone compilation called Soundtrack for your wedding.
...then I just made this video:

...and this one too:

Hey, I also just made a full blown 7oi player

which contains almost all my music for your listening pleasure.

Airwaves went ok.

I played airwaves last friday and it all went ok, I guess. I had problems with my music box, though, and I had to leave out that part of the set. I recorded the set just now, though, and it is like it...
