Are you gibberish?

Along with my interest in dance, I share the same fondness with music.=)

Sigur ros is one of my favorite band. I discovered it through my modern teacher, who choreographed the music "Saeglopur" for our 2007 summer dance workshop recital. The very first time he played the music, I instantly loved it. For my recital thesis, I choreographed an abstract piece for the finale dance,"Hopippolla"(hop in puddles)the title derived from the music.

Sigur ros is an Icelandic band. They use vonlenska, which is the term described used in their lyrics. The band describes it also as "a form of gibberish vocals that fits to the music.”

Well, you won't understand a single word unless you speak gibberish! You'll just have to listen then you'll understand it without explaination.

Agaetis byrjun, one of the most popular song.



Hoppippolla.



Happy listening!
