Heil!
Three things have contributed to my increased capability
to feature sound files on my website.
1. I've got a much better recording device - the horrible
noise of the early recordings is gone.
2. My web space at the University has been increased.
3. I've invested in a home ADSL connection and can now
manipulate largish files in a much easier way.
This means that I can pretty much produce recordings with
decent sound quality on order.

I've recorded readings for all the Færeyinga saga
parts that are already on the web.

I enlisted my brother to read Þrándr and Sigurðr in part six;
I hope that makes it sound slightly more alive.

I'm still using MP3 (save for one experiment with WAV).
I think that's more generally available than OGG and
the others. Comments and complaints are welcome.

If any of you are interested in having me read something
else please let me know. If you want the "reconstructed"
pronunciation that's somewhat more difficult, though.
I think I'll only attempt that for short pieces of poetry
or very short prose.
Kveðja,
Haukur
