Erna Ómarsdóttir and Jóhann Jóhannsson: IBM 1401 – a user’s manual
‘Originally, we intended to question relationships between man and machines. We wanted to evoke the nostalgia of old technologies and human evolution. The music, played on stage from a computer, is based on an extract of an Icelandic hymn programmed on IBM 1401, the first computer to arrive in Iceland in 1964’. - Erna Ómarsdóttir
A collaboration between two internationally acclaimed Icelandic aritists: musician Johann Johannsson and one of the most captivating performers to be seen on the European stage today, Erna Ómarsdóttir.
