The following is an excerpt from an email sent from Art to Will on 10 November 2013.
Still hammering out stuff for the Concert for Iceland. Sarah almost getting ready to give birth, but I thought I'd send you along a rough copy. My goal is to get these several songs mocked up pretty well and have the entire concert recorded by myself (possibly with help from local musicians). Most of it, like this one, is extremely rough, but the songs are gelling around some definite themes and motifs, both musically and lyrically.

This one will have lyrics, lamenting the current tragedy and calling for compassion (a la "Concert for Bangladesh") but then starting to betray the main interest in Iceland, namely, the volcanic portal to the underworld.
