Heads up!!
I'm just off the phone from an interesting discussion with the bass guitar technician for Iceland's premiere ambient airport music band - Súgar Rúshed.
It all went swimmingly, despite him not speaking a word of English and me not knowing more Icelandic than Bjork, Reykjavik, Krðne, Snow and Salted herring.
I asked if they would compose the Otterfest '08 theme and he seemed pretty pleased and positive about it!
Here's a transcript of the convo:
Me : Hi! this is Jim from the Otterfest '08 organisers, we'd like you guys to write a piece of music for us to use as a theme...
Him : Hver the helvíti ert þú? Vildi þú þóknast stöðva velja símanúmer this tala?
Me : Nice weather we're having, no?
Him : Þinn linnulaus sími kalla viðurværi vekja minn geit , hver er óður í til ala þrír kids. The dýralæknir er áhyggjufullur þessi Liðugur gets nógur hvíla áður the fæðing, og ef þú þrjóskast við með þessir óþægindi kalla , Myndað af I vill eða I vill upplýsa Bjork.
Me : So that's a 'Yes' then?
Him : Nú fara burt!
Me : Great! Look forward to it!!
Phone : 'Click...'
Think that about wraps it up for our catchy corporate choon (as they pronounce it up here...)
Fingers crossed that it proves as popular as their last EP, eh?
Onwards and upwards!
