Artist's Comments

On one of our last days in the UK this last summer, we took a trip up from London to Invereray in Scotland for the Hydro Connect Festival. The music was great, and we stood in the rain and mud for 12 hours for my favourite band, an Icelandic group of 8 individuals going by the name Sigur Rós.
The shot here is of Jón Þór Birgisson, the lead singer for the group, doing his thing (yes, playing an electric guitar with a cello bow).
The concert really blew me away, and when Sigur Rós came up on stage things truly got dramatic. I hope i captured some of the essence of the gig with this photo, and i'll be sure to post a couple more shots i found interesting from other bands as well in the future.

Every photo has value, at least to the shooter and those of like mind

Wow, Sigur Ros. I'm sure it must have been amazing to be there.

This shot is amazing. I love how you've captured how truly and seriously dedicated they are to their art; how immersed they are in performance & expression. I have not yet had the honor and experience of seeing them live but I am somewhat familiar with their music and have seen the documentary DVD; the entire show must have been mind-blowingly emotive :D I really like the sound of the bowed electric, it lends an ethereal quality to an already genius and surreal sound.
