In the Light of Air is a tetralogy of works that together form a structure of a single piece. The four movements bear the titles Luminance, Serenity, Existence, and Remembrance and are connected by short transitions to form a seamless flow throughout the work.

REVIEW:

The meditative, texturally rich landscapes of 'In the Light of Air' for viola, cello, harp, piano, percussion, and electronics by this young Icelandic composer are haunting, beautiful, and unsettling by turns. The sonic possibilities of the cello are explored in the intense 'Transitions', powerfully rendered by Michael Nicolas.
