Ólafur Arnalds

Algorithmic pianos and soaring strings create a shimmering, high-definition landscape of Icelandic minimalism. Intimate, focused, and technologically soulful.

August 24, 2018 · Mercury KX

A bright, intellectual curiosity that feels like a fresh start on a cold morning.

Moments Worth Listening For

The moment the Stratus pianos begin their self-generating dance on the title track, creating a shimmering web of notes.

The transition into the driving, electronic-tinged beat of 'ekki hugsa' that provides a rare pulse of kinetic energy.

The stark, intimate silence between the piano notes in 'saman' where you can hear the mechanical movement of the instrument.
