Ríkharður H. Friðriksson’s (b. 1960) music falls into two general categories: he either makes pure electro-acoustic music, working with natural sounds and their movement in space, or he does live improvisations, playing electric guitar, processed with live electronics, either alone or with the Icelandic Sound Company. He teaches composition and electronic music at the Iceland Academy of the Arts, the Kópavogur Music School and the Reykjavík College of Music. In his spare time, he plays punk rock.
