Rímur

{ epic tales sung as alliterative, rhyming ballads (usually a cappella) that can be traced back to the 14th century }

Collection of cantographs in which I assign colors, shapes and other graphic elements to each half-tone on the musical scale to create visual representations of songs.

Each piece is accompanied by a legend showing the correspondence between artwork and notes/lyrics (included online for titles marked with an *asterisk; click to view).

*Hlíða milli byggist brú
*Uppi í háa hamrinum
*Lífið gerist þungt og þreytt
