about

Sirius describes the journey of a beam of light or a photon. According to Einstein, distances grow shorter with speed. At the speed of light, one would then think, all distances will contract into nothing and one could travel to the end of the world in an instant. GKO takes us on such a journey from Earth to Sirius B and beyond in search of the almighty. The signature is six-eights and the drone is in A.

The text is that of the well-known poem Stefjahreimur by Einar Benediktsson, one of Iceland’s best loved poets of the early 1900s, read by the operatic singer Guðmundur Jónsson (1920-2007), who is also known to every Icelander, and was 85 years old on this last of his performance in 2005, while he left for his very private photon journey in November 2007.
