Hildur Guðnadóttir

Hildur Ingveldardóttir Guðnadóttir (born September 4, 1982) is a classically-trained Icelandic Cellist who has played and recorded with the bands Pan Sonic, Throbbing Gristle and Múm, as well as her solo project Lost in Hildurness. She has also toured with Animal Collective.

In 2007 she released a solo album, "Mount A", on which she attempted to "involve other people as little as I could." [Stubbs, D. "Against the Grain" in "The Wire" 283 (September 2007), p.12] It was recorded in New York and Hólar in the north of Iceland.

As well as the cello, Hildur also sings and arranges choral music, once arranging a choir for performances by Throbbing Gristle in Austria and London. As a composer she has written a score for the play "Sumardagur" ("Summer Day") performed at Iceland's National Theatre. [As stated in [http://www.12tonar.is/hildur.php] ]
