Hildur Guðnadóttir - What's In My Bag?

[@longlivetheclash]

I have heard Hildur pronounce her full name 50 times now and I am amazed at the pronunciation.

[@Bubby-vc5fv]

Her film scores will be the gateway for so many to discover the world of modern composition and that's awesome. Great composer!

[@SaintMartins]

[@RyanM268]

Composers are underrated. People often only care about singers & musicians. Classical composers are so talented too. I’ll always be impressed by an original score composed for a film! It takes a lot of talents, work, and imagination to compose an original piece.

[@therealriverryan]

Beautiful soul she has. Love her work. Love her passion for music.

[@Steppenwolf.85]

What a beautiful soul! So good to hear someone who just loves music with such detailed passion

[@danielhorton9929]

Wow her selections are amazing. Never heard of any of them but the depth is incredible

[@isaacmartinez6904]

I really enjoy her work on Joker and Chernobyl. I hope she gets more good works in cinema with her pure and unique musical style.

[@maryfreegirl2029]

She listed a lot of weird and nerdy ambient and drone instrumental music that i think i might really enjoy so thanks!

[@ArturDZGN]

I love Hildur's work. So unique and exquisite. The more you listen to it, the more it crawls under your skin.. Sicario, The Joker, Chernobyl and even in video-game, like Battlefield 2042. Amazing talent.

[@BroKEnCaPSLoCk1]

Sicario was Johan Johansson who she kind of held the banner of after his passing. She did the sequel

[@ArturDZGN]

@@BroKEnCaPSLoCk1 Sicario: Day of the Soldado.

[@reddkard]

What a beautiful soul …..thank you Hildur

[@Logotic]

One of our greatest living composers, and an absolutely delightful and humble young woman 🤘🇮🇸

[@blanckq]

Without Sinking is a such a big personal fave of mine, happy to see her on here!

[@iforgoteverythingtoo]

she's such a bright light, I love how she talks about her picks

[@Usiris23]

Didn’t watch at all but listened on my headphones at work, her voice is wonderful to listen to, so well spoken and kind.

[@Ramblebar]

Amazing Artist and one of the truly great modern day avant garde composers great episode!!!

[@brownyuio]

What an amazing entry!!

[@ancientteenager7880]

thank you for this- she’s a special artist and her full-eyed love for music is overwhelmingly apparent and appreciated.

[@DangerforBrunch]

her selections are the realest. pauline and alvin are two of the greatest composers of deep listening music ever

[@joaoguerreiro52]

As an hobbyist composer, obviously have great respect for her work and relate to her passion for music, her album without sinking is great and so are her scores. Could listen to her for hours.

[@exploringwithasmr]

The Sinking of the Titanic has always been one of my all time favorites. Great pick. Her album Without Sinking is amazing.

[@TurboYeti72]

Hildur introduced me to a whole new genre of music. Fascinating stuff. And her enthusiasm is as infectious as it is inspiring. I'm guessing she has very few bad days. . .

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

Deep listening? it's great, opens up music to the everyday sounds… and sort of defies genres in that sense. It's, as it says, more about the listening than the…playing, for lack of a better word, and can train you to listen, pick out sounds! these are some classics, and more sort of classical-based, but there are some great music labels on field recordings, ambient, experimental, etc. to check out on bandcamp ~ she mentioned Oren Ambarchi's black truffle, for example.(but the type of releases are pretty wide) The last pick was the first release on Brian Eno's short-lived Obscure label, and he's of course another "classic" in this, but on another side of it. There's creating an environment, and taking in the environment for what it is, in a way… The label that first comes to me now is Longfrom editions, which release four longform pieces (15+ min) by four different artists/groups every… third month, perhaps, which I really recommend.

[@TurboYeti72]

@@RayasNegroOvejas Wow! Thanks so much for the info. I have a deep dive to take part in LOL

[@BroKEnCaPSLoCk1]

Can this be 2 hours long? I love how she talks about music

[@tonyrenouf7898]

...damn...that's the first one of these fabulous pieces where I'm going to have to explore everything and buy lots...thank you Hildur for your knowledge and thank you Amoeba for this series...if only you'd go back to having an international shipping service so I could spend my monies on your stock instead going elsewhere....

[@HariMaiamusic]

Omg!! Love her! 😍❤️

[@bornon18]

Eyvind Kang, hugely underrated composer. Man has created some of the most beautiful music ever written.

[@gardenboydon]

This is fascinating. I know nothing of "deep listening". I'm glad that I watched this episode

[@DeathMetalJohnny]

'Deep listening ' I love that term! 🥰

[@thomastaipliadis8533]

Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet (this version AND the one with Tom Waits) is one of the best pieces of music of the 20th century.

[@miketomlin6040]

The comical numpty Waits ruined that track, the audacity of his tackling it.

[@rostasi]

It's simultaneously wonderful and a bit surreal to listen to young composers talk about their discovery of these classic contemporary composers. Yeah, and it's "Morton" Feldman. 😄

[@diegomercadovillarroel4505]

Best episode.

[@kdcndw1]

Yeah. She is a genius and her score for Women Talking was great as well. Even though not indicated by her in this segment, she is a fan of David Sylvian and she was going to collaborate with him on music around 2010..but no luck. She talks about Sylvian on a recent BBC radio program from January 2023.

[@annettelouise6781]

This is such a good way to hear about other really cool musicians.

[@TallGreyMan]

What a delightfully informative episode. Loved it!

[@michalispapamanolis3543]

I've always admired Icelandic musicians giving great experimental stuff out of the ordinary

[@tudormiller887]

So gorgeous. I'm loving her "minimalist music' selection.

[@eddyv500]

This is Next Level music listening. Like wow! I’m barely getting into Brian Eno.

[@P.Atreides]

mal wieder schön zu sehen das ihr das ganze musikspektrum abdeckt mit euren gästen

[@denisefreitas6727]

She's lovely. It's a delight hearing her.

[@cloud9savagehenry]

Really cool. Another superb human.

[@jajlertil]

Check out her album ”without sinking” it’s lowkey brilliant

[@pierinmess5415]

Yes! Finally one of my favorites.

[@seanpopple5984]

I've fallen in love with this lady in 13 minutes and 8 seconds.

[@PrimoSchnevi]

Every Episode of this is nice

[@funharm]

Always good to see the LUMINOUS Hildur Guðnadóttir!

[@Nofuhkinziti]

Hildur Guðnadóttir Music is incredible! . I loved this video, lots a new music to listen to!

[@jared4034]

Beautiful.

[@manysides2340]

Bought that Gavin briars vinyl as soon as I listened to it

[@suNn.K.O]

Love múm. Love her contributions to the more recent Sunn O))) records. Love this lady.

[@mnchls]

High time we had someone who highlighted proper minimalism and drone! In particular: Gavin Bryars' "Jesus' Blood" is indeed a perfect, perfect, perfect piece.

[@tomasandrew9354]

Great episode!

[@RolandDeschain1]

Phenomenal talent.

[@derf95]

She seams nice. Interesting music .

[@stephenvitiello3112]

Fantastic. Thank you

[@stack_of_records]

wonderful

[@pho3nix-]

She is the best !

[@petertaylorarts]

This list is the best and so great to see a shout out to Black Truffle, my favourite record label. If you dig this check out Eliane Radigue and Annea Lockwood. So happy that Hildur is bringing interesting music into cinema. Bravo. PS that Reverse Tree LP is sublime.

[@miketomlin6040]

Fine choices. I must check out her music at some point.

[@Warp75]

Ahhh someone I actually like.

[@toddfield4744]

anyone who likes her film scores, please check out her earlier works. Her passion is inspiring.

[@you-have-a-hand-in-your]

Great taste!

[@champdeluxe3720]

Love this video

[@omniversal7]

By far the best Bag yet

[@omram566]

Jeez. imagine a dinner party at her house. The soundtrack would lead you to think a murder is going to happen

[@lostnthenoise]

I loved the music from Chernobyl and this shows her influences, but I secretly wished she pulled a Spice Girls album. 😎😎

[@elwinMMA]

She's so cute!

[@soundofminder]

I knew i didn't know how to pronounce her name, but I didn't know that I was nowhere near pronouncing her name right.

[@jakobthiesen]

Top Composer. Great Content here..

[@mattylujan]

This is one heavy WIMB. Sweet, sweet shares from Hildur.

[@perspicaciouscritic]

Thank you so much, Amoeba interviewer, for *not* interjecting this absorbing commentary from Hildur Guðnadóttir with your off-camera voice, which would have broken the tone and flow of the discussion.

[@itinerantghost]

The one and only!

[@MrDaigoRiki]

She was a member of mum, time flies, she aged but a fantastic composer. If she likes those stuff she should live in nyc.

[@thornmovieherlihy3923]

Have you aged?

[@thegreatergood8081]

Your obsession with age is bizarre and you're going to look very a very unhappy life

[@jeffschwerdtfeger6728]

Amazing!!!! Wonderful ear candy. Amoeba do more of these. Get rid of the pop groups going over mundane and boring sounds. This was truly enjoyable.

[@Warp75]

Totally agree I’m fed up watching these nowadays with shit bands that have a shit taste in music.

[@garykuhlmann8149]

Finally someone gives us something vastly different from what everyone else is listening to! I'm going to hunt these down. Hildur is amazing herself, of course--I love her work.

[@tonysmith5878]

THAT "PAULINE" RECORD LOOKS INTERESTING.

[@kevinogracia1615]

Groovy.

[@hellotheremotox6288]

Hey @amoeba! I watch these on my tv and it's not super pleasant: there are a TON of ads and the placement is sorta lame. I am cool with you guys making money, but putting the ads between the picks (instead of in between the music clips) would really help. Thank you!

[@Aliens2Exist]

wouldnt it be funny if she added a wildcard album like efil4zaggin or something

[@OngoingBox]

ooh, rad!!

[@diegooliveirabenjamin]

Class

[@bestfullyy]

Jesus Blood is one of the best pieces of music ever put to paper or record. Unbelievable.

[@hellodude1021]

This introduced me to Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet, and it absolutely destroyed me. First song in a long time to make me cry

[@alc4117]

I’m never ever gonna attempt her last name

[@martysmith5260]

Hmmm - Just by looking at her, I would have guessed she was more into Oingo Boingo or NOFX. Boy, was I wrong!

[@sf100psi2]

Is this a Documentary Now take off?

[@treylane]

I thought the sinking of the titanic came out in the 90s. mind: blown

[@adammiller2759]

It is Morton Feldman not Martin Feldman.

[@MotorikBit]

She played in Goodspeed You! Black Emperor

[@myworms]

None of this is music that compels me in any way…outsider music…but she’s very lovely and enthusiastic.

[@NGC_2264]

those albums are very soundtrack-y

[@OkaySoShit]

@@NGC_2264 very bad film and soundtrack

[@dcashley303]

Apart from the fourth pick I knew all over these... Do I get a prize?? Was waiting for a Phill Niblock or Julius East man pick that never came though haha! Love the articulation of thoughts, it's super important to hold on to sound as sound.

[@thornmovieherlihy3923]

🏆

[@dproctor1979]

It would’ve been funny if she’d have mixed in a Bob Seger cd

[@msannthrope_2049]

😂

[@LuDux]

Let the record show that I was listening to her before she was famous Well of course I don't listen to Joker or Chernobyl

[@YesItsAnanias]

i lahahauve her smahahahaile....

[@ИгорьПопов-у5й]

Martin!!! Feldman 😅

[@ghost__chips]

Mostly clicked because I wanted to figure out how to pronounce her name. Still don't know how.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

Hilda Guanodottier

[@rostasi]

roughly: first name very close to the way it looks: HIL-dur surname is a bit more tricky: KrUNE-na-t(h)ok-dish

[@Argonath5K]

Based

[@jackneidinger9544]

I invite listeners to my 3-volume Spotify playlist Noise, Electronic, Experimental, Sound Art. Thousands of hours of these kinds of musics.

[@kayo1190]

Battlefield 2042 ❤

[@mvmv-pn8zt]

Hilarious

[@yanceyx73]

There’s no way people listen to this stuff

[@NGC_2264]

she probably listens to it because of her work as a soundtrack composer (which is better than doing generic orchestral stuff)

[@garycasperson4106]

I knew about and listened to Pauline Oliveros long before I heard of Hildur Guðnadóttir.

[@rostasi]

I have for well over 50 years.
