TRAJECT

Traject is the artist name of Icelander Gisli Thor Gudmundsson.
In 2004 I released a track called 'Laroche & Dolson' for UK label Ai Records on their Station LP (Compilation). That was my first official release... In 2004 I released my debut album "Strengir Hrynja" on Swiss label Spezial Material. The album was 6 tracks clocking in at about 40 min. running time and released as an LP despite its short length. Strengir Hrynja did well for itself, sweeping up great reviews in the electronic press:

"This superb debut from Icelander Gisli Thor Gudmundsson is a small masterpiece of abstract, deep sea Techno...""The whole album is faboulously produced - there's an immense sonic depth and range on display in these pieces, a hyperreal opulence that makes for an experience almost too delicous to indulge in without feeling guilty."
- THE WIRE

"Strengir Hrynja represents a peak for Traject but also for the relatively new Zurich label Spezial Material. Certainly it’s indebted to Autechre and Gescom for its general style but Gudmundsson boldly pushes the album into an even more challenging realm of cold, abstract IDM. Listening to it, one marvels at its construction, while being simultaneously awed by its alien sonic universe."
- Stylus Magazine B+

"Með þessari frumraun sinni hefur Gísli Þór Guðmundsson skotist í fremstu röð íslenskra raftónlistarmanna. Hljóðaheimur hans er fjölskrúðugur og hugmyndaflugið óstöðvandi. Þessi plata hans er ekkert léttmeti en á henni talsvert af músík sem ætti að falla flestum raftónlistarvinum í geð."

UPDATE: Next LP is finished and is awaiting release! 13 tracks.
