wonderful country and people:

On the F26 in the middle of nowhere my sister and I got a flat tire. I stopped a car with some nice people from Reykjavik in it. He changed the tire and they made us feel very calm in this not so nice situation. My love for Iceland has grown since then.

Inspired by Icelandic Cairns:

I fell in love with Iceland before landing in Keflavik when out of the dark sky, the midnight sun was shining over Iceland. ...

A creative time:

My time in Iceland inspired me to complete a series of literary, musical and theatre works I had believed impossible. One of these was the multimedia epic poem "A Durable Fire" and its companion novel "Once And These."

Iceland - Love it:

We visited Iceland for the 6th time to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. It was only supposed to be for a weekend but as luck would have it the volcanic ash extended our stay for a further 2 days and we were able to stay at our favourite hotel the Ranga, include a puffi...

Islendingar fyrir Alltaf:

July 1993, Keflavik, landing in a crazy island, midnight. One year later, Seydisfjordur, time to leave Iceland. What I felt up there during one year is just unwrittable....

Iceland - A Land of Beguiling Natural Beauty:

This was my first trip to Iceland, a place I had always wanted to visit but was never able to fit into a busy travel schedule. Having to make a trip to Denmark from the U.S. for a conference in 2008, I found Icelandair had the best fares and further, offered layovers of up 30 ...

Homesick for a place I never lived.:

I'm a musician and artist. And I've never been one for the 'usual' things. I'm not particularly fond of those warm sunny beachy places, I'm not much for the great outdoors, and I find myself drawn to left field creative cultures that thrive despite their isolation from resou...

...back in Holland 2002:

I m longing for sights which are not here...in the meantime I m knitting Iceland's sceneries

I composed symphonic works:

Thanks to my time in Reykjavik I completed a challenging series of literary and musical works, including the Symphonic Film "How I Enjoyed Reykjavik" as part of "32 Songs 32 Days" in a trilogy consisting of an epic poem, a novel and this opera without singers.

I composed the art film and score for "32 Songs 32 Days" thanks to Iceland:

My time in Iceland was creatively productive for several original literary and musical works, including the film "32 Songs 32 Days."

a creative stay:

\
My stays in Iceland were creative. I created a new libretto to an 1898 Victor Herbert score composed for Broadway's great Alice Nielsen Company. And I enjoyed the weather, the comedians.

Swim swim little fishy:

In 2001 I came to Iceland on a last minute whim to review Iceland Airwaves festival. I hadn't really contemplated the land much in all honesty but after that first trip I came back again and again and again over years until I could no longer count on just two hands....

The most diverse beauty!:

When I think of Iceland, I think of beauty. Awe-inspiring volcanoes capped with slow, peaceful glaciers give way to crystal rivers brimming with icebergs on a backdrop of black sand plains. Moonscapes carved out of lava flows drop off to majestic fjords reaching out to the o...
