Since buying his first drumkit at an early age, Hallur has been in many rock bands. The highlights being Gypsy the winner of the Icelandic Band Contest, Ham, and his own band Thirteen which has released 4 CD's. When starting Thirteen, Hallur started experimenting with various instruments to get his musical ideas across, and on the last 2 cd's he has done everything himself. Writing the music, playing all instruments, recorded and mixed. This is also the way it has been in all his work for dance and theater.
"I am not particularily good at the instruments I play, but it often takes less time for me to stumble through the parts myself, than explaining them to others. There is also freedom and excitement when you don't know what you are doing. It's more "playing with instruments", and it often gives more character than with the 'service' of a professional player".
