have you tried Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything? Excellent book about the history of a lot of different sciences and branches of knowledge.

good man

Hi, Oli! I've seen you with the RNCM Orchestra in Manchester, with the Britten Sinfonia in London, and just your string quartet (in London too). My questions are:

1) Do you prefer playing with a full orchestra, or just with your string quartet? What's the pros and cons of each?

2) You explained that Ljósið was originally written for a bath tub commercial. How do you feel about fans prescribing a deeper meaning towards it? Do you believe that once a piece of art is finished, the meaning is no longer in the hands of the artist?

3) Am I correct with my impression that early in your career, you didn't really appreciate the label 'glacial' or using the Icelandic landscape to describe your music in reviews?

4) I don't know if you remember, but I was the one who alerted you about the Malaysian anti-piracy ad that used your music. What became of it?

it's been a very interesting AMA. Thanks for your time!
