Úlfur Eldjárn is a composer, electronic and experimental musician based in Reykjavík, Iceland, also a member of the legendary Apparat Organ Quartet.
His album The Aristokrasia Project is a cinematic mix of synth pop and minimal string arrangements, exploring themes of space travel, science and artificial intelligence. On Field Recordings: Music from the Ether, he experiments with old mechanical instruments, a home made drum robot and other unusual sound sources.
He recently collaborated with electro artist Null + Void and Depeche Mode singer Dave Gahan to create a haunting string version of their track Where I Wait.
Úlfur has composed soundtracks for films, TV, stage and other media. His output covers a wide range of styles including orchestral scores Innsaei: The Sea Within and the Bernard Herrman inspired score for Ash. Úlfur collaborated with Jóhann Jóhannsson on his last film score, Mandy, starring Nicholas Cage.
Úlfur has experimented with new and interactive forms of music, often in collaboration with his brother Halldór Eldjárn. The Infinite String Quartet invites listeners to create infinitely many different versions of the piece through and interactive website (infinitestringquartet.com).
