In 2005 and 2007 Eiðar hosted the “Eiðar Sonic Arts Project”, collaborative workshops that brought together international and Icelandic composers musicians and improvisers to work together for a week and produce concerts of new music.

The participants were:

Fred Frith
Frank Denyer
James Fulkerson
Hilmar Þórðarson
Áki Áskeirsson
Þráinn Hjálmarsson
Guðmundur Steinn Gunnarsson
Charles Ross.

Although the emphasis of the “Eiðar Composer Farm” is more centred around education through collaboration, still these pictures give some ideas about the performance spaces here and the sort of things that can be expected to happen.

Guðmundur Oddur Magnússon took some wonderful pictures of the 2007 concert.
