Description

In this segment for Kringvarp Føroya (Faroese Broadcasting Corporation), Knút Háberg Eysturstein was interviewed as a musicologist and PhD candidate in music at the University of the Faroe Islands. The appearance addressed artist Silvurdrongur’s decision to withdraw his music from Spotify, following reports that the company’s founder, Daniel Ek, has made significant investments in the military tech company Helsing.
