New track 'Hvergi' is up Mar 22
New track "Hvergi" is up. Track is from new LP yet to be released.
Billboard
"This superb debut from Icelander Gisli Thor Gudmundsson is a small masterpiece of abstract, deep sea Techno..." "The whole album is faboulously produced - there's an immense sonic depth and range on display in these pieces, a hyperreal opulence that makes for an experience almost too delicous to indulge in without feeling guilty."
- THE WIRE
"Strengir Hrynja represents a peak for Traject but also for the relatively new Zurich label Spezial Material. Certainly it's indebted to Autechre and Gescom for its general style but Gudmundsson boldly pushes the album into an even more challenging realm of cold, abstract IDM. Listening to it, one marvels at its construction, while being simultaneously awed by its alien sonic universe."
- Stylus Magazine B+
"Með þessari frumraun sinni hefur Gísli Þór Guðmundsson skotist í fremstu röð íslenskra raftónlistarmanna. Hljóðaheimur hans er fjölskrúðugur og hugmyndaflugið óstöðvandi. Þessi plata hans er ekkert léttmeti en á henni talsvert af músík sem ætti að falla flestum raftónlistarvinum í geð."
- Morgunblaðið 5/5
"It's polished granite, drizzles on thin ice, deep caves of Scotish highlands, mist over Hudsons. Dark and divine electronics from Icelander Gisli Thor Gudmundsson, aka traject. he draws a back holes, and you decisively give yourself in in the deepest of night. Within, all colours in silhuettes, you saw orchids growing out of snow, but you feel warm, embraced. It's not industrial clashes that leaves you vulnerable, but tickles that clings to your skin and embraces you, surround you with distance and space that talks, resonate, and flows. Buy it."
