A live audio-visual performance / band, together with sound artist Þorsteinn Eyfjörð Þórarinsson.

Þorsteinn and I started MOTET with the idea of producing audio-visual work in the same way a band produces music, with both elements being influenced by each other, produced and then performed simultaneously.

As a live act, we perform together as live as possible, with everything running real-time and being controlled by actual fingers on controllers as much as humanly possible (although sometimes I run out of fingers).

We also create installation work as a duo. Our first work was entitled Grex Lucis, an audiovisual light and sound installation which debuted at TONIK festival, Faroe Islands.

We make pieces that are at times aggressive and dystopic, but at the same time with a note of hope, and sometimes beautiful, with a note of despair. We're inspired by literature, nature, late-night YouTube rabbitholes, and the artists that have shaped our audio-visual sensibilities over the years.

Our first EP, titled "0.5" was released via our good friends at INNI Music.
