Aalsteinn Gumundsson, a laptop ambient producer and computer science junkie from Iceland, has been involved with electronic music since the early '90s. Apart from his alias as Yagya, Gumundsson -- who has also operated as Plastik and half of the duo Sanosol -- creates his music on computer with figures like Brian Eno, Philip Glass, Maurizio, and Wolfgang Voigt providing inspiration. Like a lot of his peers and influences, Gumundsson aims to compose material that sounds as organic and as free-flowing as possible. In early 2002, the producer released the aptly titled Rhythm of Snow on the Force Inc. label.\r
