Hjörtur Ingvi Jóhannsson - 2021 - Aries

I’m really excited to share my new video, ‘Aries’, the second song from the 24 Pictures cycle! I wrote ‘Aries’ early last year, back when Covid was just on the horizon. For me, hearing it now, it will always bring back the uncertainty and disorientation of these days. But also the belief that blatant fear can’t cure anything and you have to find hope and positivity in any situation you’re faced with. It’s based on a rhytmical motif in the key of A minor which stays the same, as the harmonies beneath it journey from darkness to hope. Enjoy! Aries can be found on: Many thanks to Guðmundur Einar for directing the video, Sigurður Unnar Birgisson for cinematography and editing, Styrmir Hauksson for sound engineering and mixing and Cheryl Kara for artist consulting
