Reykjavík Composer on Jazz, Sagas, Eiríksstaðir & the Creative Life of an Artist
Hafdís Bjarnadóttir is a Reykjavík-based composer and guitarist known for breaking boundaries between genres - drawing on everything from jazz and folk to avant-garde, poetry, and contemporary classical.
In this conversation, we trace her path from learning jazz guitar to composing award-winning works, reflect on her time reenacting history in costume at the Eiríksstaðir Museum, and dig into the theory, culture, and economics of being an artist in Iceland today.
We also explore how collaboration shapes creativity and where the Icelandic music scene is heading.
