so, christoph and i went to see Múm (www.randomsummer.com) live on the 23rd of july. it was a concert experience that will be extremely tough to rival for me. they have such a pure sound..

this shot was taken from under the speaker stand where they had one of their keyboards and a laptop setup. i am grateful to have been able to capture this shot of the band as they thanked the crowd after their last song. (edit: thanks to *junglechink for pointing out my misspelling of "crowd". and, for sake of furthering vocabulary, a croud is the earliest known form of what we call a violin ;])

from the left you can first barely make out Ólöf Donalds, then you see Gunnar Örn Tynes leaning to the mic, followed by Övar Smárason who is looking at Kristin Valtýsdóttir and finally the percussionist Samuli Kosminen to the far right. I met Övar and Samuli after the show, and they kindly signed my Summer Make Good book/cd release. they are good people.
