  • Larry W says:

    With a population of only 340,000, Iceland produces more creative people per capita than any country in the world–popular and classical musicians, artists, authors, sculptors and more. It comes from a “why not?” attitude that doesn’t set limits to possibilities.

  • Robert von Bahr says:

    It is Jóhann in Icelandic.

  • The composer himself says:

    Is in love with Iceland!
