Björt Rùnars

Cellist & composer

A new album of MIRT released this summer:

In her music she generally plays with the sound of her cello processing its natural sound with pedals and effects, making webs of music looping and sometimes adding pre-recorded rythms and other material. 

Sometimes with the cello solo and sometimes accompanied with her voice, keyboards and other instruments.
