This 17 minute Iceland soundtrack was inspired by the images and footage from Iceland taken by Milosh over at Amazing Places on Our Planet’s YouTube channel. I’ve never been there but the landscape is so beautiful and stark that I know I have to visit one day. This would allow me to create a whole new set of Iceland soundtracks based on my actual experience instead of just being exposed to the images.
Thanks to Milosh for his patience and for creating such a professional channel and for asking me to help with the music.

Amazing! How can a small island have so much hugeness? Man is so tiny in these vast spaces. The music is a perfect enhancement of the film. Beautiful.
There’s something so beautiful about the sparse nature of the landscape. Rugged and cold too I’m sure. Glad you enjoyed the video Peter thanks for your comment! ??
Wonderful music and video!
Thank you, Arianna. Here’s the link to the previous song in the series as well: https://www.herrin.com.au/iceland-soundtrack-heimkoma-music-video/ ?
Incredible and beautifull song, Herrin.
Thanks for your music.
Sergi, Barcelona.
Thank you, Sergi, for your sweet comments. It really is gratifying to be able to reach out to people like yourself, anywhere in the world!
Beautiful music Herrin, I listen to a Spa music channel while in my Infrared Sauna or meditating. I love your music, it’s perfect for these 2 activities, but also just to listen to. I find it very calming. Thanks.
That’s great feeedback Laurie thank you. With the instrumentals I really strive to find that balance of atmospheric/relaxing and still holding its own when just listened to in a quiet room. Soundtracks for your life in a way.
Dear Mr. Herrin, I am very interested in your background music for Iceland movies. Already I have downloaded “Soundtrack – ‘Stormfront’ Iceland”.
Last August we visited Iceland for ten days. There we have made a lot of pictures for collection in a private movie. Please inform me how I can download more beautiful soundtracks of you from Iceland (approx. 60 minutes). Thank you very much. With the best greetings from Wolfgang Pfeifer.
I saw the iceland video and fell in love with the “Stormfront” soundtrack? Where can I find it? How do I get it? Very inspiring track.
Thanks for your feedback. That song will be released early this year on an album of soundtracks of a similar sound and texture.
That is great to hear! Thanks on the update. Much love and happiness in your new project. 🙂
This track is simply awesome! It adds so much atmosphere to the already excellent video that I just can’t stop watching and listening. Thank you for creating this masterpiece!
Is there a rough estimate about when your new album willl be available to buy? And will Heimkoma be another track on that album? Do you have an album title already, so I can watch out for it?
Appreciate the kind words, Coco. Plan on releasing at the end of May at this stage. Few flute parts to go… Yes they both are part of the new album – there’s a new piano piece that I like and some darker tunes as well which is fun. ~ Stay on the email list and you will get a notice when it’s ready anyway. https://www.herrin.com.au/freedownloads/
Great music Herrin and very sympathetic to, and evocative of, the visuals…Iceland is a wonderful and beautiful country –but the video could benefit from some editing…more variation, close-ups and drama. But the music is delightful.
HI Stephen, thank you for the feedback. Yes, the video style is very much one of slow pans and long relaxing views. And yet the music is dramatic lending itself to a movie scene, perhaps from Game Of Thrones or one of those other nordic style TV shows that are so popular these days.
