Secondson

**Secondson** is an experimental musician and composer known for blending classical instrumentation with electronic textures, often weaving cinematic soundscapes that feel both ancient and futuristic. Working frequently with the rare halldorophone (a unique Icelandic electroacoustic cello-like instrument), their releases like *Suite for halldorophone & Synthi A* and *Tónlist frá: hér að neðan* highlight a fascination with organic-meets-synthetic timbres. Their collaborations, such as *Secondson & Lewis Parker* and *& His Orchestra*, reveal a playful versatility, shifting between introspective minimalism and bold, layered arrangements. Tracks like *The Land Remembers* and *Cathode* showcase their knack for moody, atmospheric storytelling, while recent work like *Turn it Up to the Red* leans into gritty, amplified energy. Though shrouded in some mystery, Secondson’s output consistently feels like a dialogue between tradition and innovation, grounded in tactile instrumentation but unafraid to warp it into new shapes.
