Stefjahreimur came into being in 1993 when GKO had just completed difficult repairs in Studio Hljóðhamar. To test the equipment he decided to invite Agnar Wilhelm Agnarsson to join him in a session. They based the work on the poem by Einar Benediktsson. Agnar translated ex tempore and vocalized. In the beginning, we can hear how the music starts out live in the studio and then, after some exploration, the work is brought forth complete exhibiting an extreme creativity.
