Sigur Rós - Surtshellir/Stone Marimba) [Remastered Heima extra]

July 31st, 2006. "Today the band leave early for Husafell, home of our friend Palli who built the famed “stone marimba” used by the band on the Odin’s Raven Magic orchestral piece. We are going to improvise a piece on the marimba for the film and want to visit Palli where he collects the stones with which he makes the instrument. Palli’s a talented fellow who walks the lonely valley near his home in the countryside picking up the flat pieces of brittle, shattered rock, balancing them on his finger tips and striking them with a mallet to hear the note they create." - John Best

How happy they were and may never be again. A great moment in time.

It's a lithophone! I haven't seen one of those in a while.

귀엽고 포근한 영상이네요
어릴 때 학교에서 혼자 남아서 마림바 연습하곤 했는데, 돌로 만든 마림바라니!! 신기하고 좋은 경험이예요
