Computer Space Dreams
Halldór Eldjarn
Get ready to be mesmerized. ‘Poco Apollo’ is
an installation in which a generative music
program written by Halldór Eldjarn gathers
data from a recently released batch of
14,000 snapshots taken by NASA astronauts
during the Apollo missions, and attempts to
compose a piece based on the mood of each
one. And unlike lunar travel, entry is free. JR

Winter Lights Festival
Reykjavík, various locations | Admission: Free
If you’re eager to say goodbye to winter
darkness, circle these dates in your calen-
dar. With the first weekend of February
comes the 16th Winter Lights Festival,
which pulls the city of Reykjavík in a swirl
of lights, nocturnal museum visits and
illuminated swimming pools. Divided in
three parts, it will feature an evening of
outdoor illuminations, the famous Mu-
seum Night, and a pool night, when ten of
the biggest swimming pools in Reykjavík
will be open for a late dip. The activities
and events are scattered all over the city,
and are free of charge. SS

Bus Hostel, Nordic House, Student Cellar
Copenhagen based Ann-Sofie Rokbøl is
coming to Iceland to record her new ex-
perimental CD during a live concert. Her
music can be described as Nordic R’n’B
with some experimental influences in her
melodic voice and electronic productions.
She tries to give pop music a twist all of
her own. JP
