Wildroot & Amber: Sound, Memory, and the Magic of Touch
April 24, 2025
She emitted a low, melodious sound, a kind of mellifluous howl.
In the freezer of an old fish factory in a tiny Icelandic town, I wrote and recorded the album, Spákonufell, named after the mountain that greeted me each morning. This place, along with the incredible collaborations and transformative experiences I had there, shaped the sound and spirit of the album — and gave me the space to truly be myself. Fully.
A sensory sound project that transforms memory into music using everyday objects as instruments. Blending violin, voice, and electronics with the Playtronica controller, it turns relics like photographs, leaves, and letters into touch-activated soundscapes. Part ritual, part performance, it’s an intimate exploration of memory, what we preserve, and how we listen across time.
From Icelandic peaks to sonic apothecaries, Spákonufell and Wildroot & Amber conjure memory, myth, and sound.
At the heart of my setup is my violin, my voice, and the Microcosm, an effects pedal that transforms sounds into rich, evolving textures.
