Greetings from Iceland
Posted: Wed May 28, 2014 11:44 am
My name is Jóhannes G. Þorsteinsson, 26 year old musician, sound designer and game designing hailing from northern Iceland. I got several releases (music & games) behind me both self released and from labels. I studied sound design (for video games) in the University of Skövde, Sweden, and recently got back home to Iceland. I tend to focus a lot on designing ambiences both for musical purposes and for sound effects.
I used to work mostly with OSX but have moved pretty much completely to Linux in the past few months and I've been experimenting with setting things up (sadly with some problems, but that's a material for another post) but I am sure I will be able to make it work eventually both by adjusting and fine tuning the setup, and myself. (I think that's the key thing, to change and fine tune yourself. It's all about adapting, survival of the fittest!)
My core DAW used to be Logic Pro on the mac but got quite fascinated by Reaper in the last couple of years. Recently I've almost predominantly been working in Pure Data and similar programs. I love both the possibilities that kind of workflow gives me, and the limitations. I also just recently learned about the NON apps on Linux and I am quite fascinated by the concept but haven't tried it out yet. Crossing my fingers for it.
You can listen to my music and look at my stuff on the following websites.

Any more Icelanders here? or scandinavians?
