Sigur Rós have added an hour of brand new unreleased music to Liminal, their "endless ambient streaming mixtape." Now in its third hour, the ever-expanding playlist has thus far comprised blissed-out versions of existing songs; contributions and remixes from friends and family; and a smattering of unreleased tracks and rarities. For the latest installment, however, the band are unveiling music and sounds to be found in Tónandi, their spatial computing experience designed in collaboration with Magic Leap. This latest hour of Liminal is the first to feature only Sigur Rós material, much of it drawn from songs still in development.
Jónsi and Georg Holm from the band - along with Alex Somers, producer Paul Corley and Sigur Rós touring member, Kjartan Holm - helped launch Tónandi at a private event in Los Angeles last night that featured a live Liminal soundbath. Audio from the event will be broadcast on NTS Radio this evening; video footage of the event, which was broadcast globally as a live-stream, is currently available here: https://youtu.be/hSUYSc3WJCc.
The first couple of hours of the Liminal mixtape closely mirrored the live soundbaths performed in Europe and America over the past several months by Jónsi, Alex Somers & Paul Corley. This new 'themed' installment is the first time the project has taken on a specific Sigur Rós project, extending the mixtape's reach to be a proving ground for new material.

ABOUT LIMINAL
Liminal is more than an ambient Sigur Rós mixtape curated by Jónsi, Alex Somers, Paul Corley and Kjartan Holm. It identifies the connections and blurs the boundaries between work done and work to come; between new music and ideas barely yet born; between songs written 20 years ago and collaborations to be made tomorrow. Liminal lives as an 'endless' mixtape, always growing but never done...
