Without Sinking

Hildur Guðnadóttir

A masterwork of multi-tracked cello that feels like slow-motion movement through arctic fog. Dense, harmonically rich, and profoundly peaceful.

March 17, 2009 · Deutsche Grammophon

A profound, patient stillness that feels both physically heavy and spiritually light.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the low-end frequencies on 'Elevation' vibrate the floor before the melody even arrives.
The shift into 'Into Warmer Air' where the cello layers begin to harmonize with a newfound, fragile brightness.
The closing seven minutes of 'Unveiled' where the sustain of the notes feels like it could stretch into eternity.
