Runar Magnusson – disturbing in more ways than one

Runar Magnusson / Vindva Mei / Hljóðaklettar / Whitelabel / Alien UFO

I am a composer and a sound designer.

I finished in 2009 a masters degree in Electronic Music Composition at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus, where I amongst other things worked with surround sound and made a soundtrack for The Dreamachine.
“I work a lot with field recordings, sounds from nature and the environment around me. I use these recordings both in the original form and manipulated.
I create atmospheres inspired by nature, horror movies, noise and meditation.”

I have made music and sound design for numerous theater and performance pieces over the last 10 years.
I have 4 solo releases and 3 releases with Vindva Mei.

Other than doing music solo i also have 3 duo projects.
First one and the oldest called Vindva Mei with Petur Eyvindsson. We have been working together since the 80´s in various guises.
As Vindva Mei since 1994.
The second is called Alien UFO together with Helgi Thorsson (Stilluppsteypa & Evil Madness)
The third one is at the moment called Runar Magnusson & The Crying Cowboy (The Cowboy being my brother Kristinn Magnusson on vocals)
I am a co founder and curator of the labels Whitelabel (with Petur Eyvindsson a.k.a. DJ Musician) and Hljodaklettar (with Sabrina Joy).
