About me

I am an Icelandic sound artist and musician based in Copenhagen, and a graduate of the Danish National School of Performing Arts. Music has been part of my life since childhood, and theatre soon became a natural next step – a place where sound and storytelling merge to create new worlds.

My practice moves across artistic disciplines, with a particular focus on collaborations where sound can evolve in close dialogue with other forms of expression. I am especially drawn to improvisation with performers – when movement and sound shape one another, a unique energy arises that cannot be scripted in advance.

My work spans from theatre productions to independent pieces, often with a strong attention to detail and aesthetics. I see every work as something living, always open to further development and reinterpretation in new contexts.

I am always curious about new collaborations and open to creating projects with others – exploring what sound can be as emotion, atmosphere, and narrative.
