After dropping several tracks and performing at select festivals throughout the years, Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen dedicated the year 2014 to explore the area in-between Ólafur’s more acoustic, piano-based solo work and Janus’s synth-heavy electro pop, with their collaborative electronic project Kiasmos.

By focusing solely on their self-titled debut album, Ólafur and Janus have been able to combine and further develop their unique sound aesthetics to complete an album driven by their mutual love for electronic music. Made in Ólafur’s newly build studio in Reykjavík, Iceland, a majority of the album was recorded using acoustic instruments next to a variety of synthesisers, drum machines and tape delays. It features a live drummer, string quartet and Ólafur performing on the grand piano, producing an ambient, textured sound, which makes it a perfect home listen and equally danceable record. If you listen closely, you can spot them record the thumb piano, finger snapping and even the sound of the metal grinder of a lighter slowly to replace the usual electronic hi-hat sounds, giving the album a far more intimate and unique atmosphere.

“We decided to start almost completely over with this record, so most of the material is written this year with the idea of making a record that can stand as one piece rather than a collection of songs. I am very excited to get a proper record out exploring a different territory than I am used to. I touch a lot on electronic genres in my own music but never have the opportunity to go full out electronic like we do here.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“The Kiasmos project has been around since 2007, but because of all our other projects we never really got the time to sit down and write all the tracks we always wanted to. So when we early this year finally found the time to sit down and make a full length album there was so much we wanted to try out. The result surprised us a bit, it's deeper and more emotional than we imagined it to be, but that's the beauty of being able to make an album.” – Janus Rasmussen

Kiasmos – s/t will be released on Double-Vinyl, CD and Download via Erased Tapes on October 27th, 2014.

Thank You

This song is a long story. 

So the main bulk of the 1st half is written about 10 years ago, but back then I had no idea how I could turn it into a song. Well, finally, a decade later, I was able to, thanks to my friend David Ho who provided some of his beautiful and soothing vocals and dreamy lyrics to this song. So thank you David!

Lyrics:
Watching you sing
Watching you laugh
Watching you read nothing but Kafka and Camus

Watching you paint
Watching you kiss
Watching you frown and laugh in the rain
Oh how you shine

The night is vast and it blows my mind 
I dive into your green eyes and never cared
If I’m coming back

Nothing to be, nothing to prove
This is the time of our lives
And it’s wreathed in gold

Fade
Oh, slowly fade
Like the makeup on your face
The ink on the page
All you ever do is fade away

Stay
Oh will you stay?
I know that everything will change
And nothing remains
Till we chase the night away

Tell me your dreams
Tell me your fears
Tell me when the rain falls on your face
Do you think of me?

I left my blue heart by your door
Vibrating in the air are all the words
You said to me

Fade 
Oh, slowly fade
Like the makeup on your face
The ink on the page
All you ever do is fade away

Stay
Oh will you stay?
I know that everything will change
And nothing remains
Till we chase the night away

Wreathed In Gold (feat. David Ho)

I'm really excited to bring you this remix album - I was lucky to get many of my favourite producers in the world involved in the project, and they have delivered an amazing range of music, it's a bit silly actually, how good this release is!

I was originally planning to separate it out into several releases, but when I brought all the remixes together I realised it could make an LP of it's own. I tried to order the tracks to provide some flow in this respect, from the beautiful ambience and downtempo sounds of Christian Löffler and Tom Hodge, to Rival Consoles brooding synth epic, into Vessels Aside broken melodic club track, Kimyan Law's beautifully detailed jungle break masterpiece, Patrice Baumel's massive techno remix, Ash Koosha's twisted electronica vision of Kathrin de Boerr, JoeFarr's apocalyptic darkroom disaster, John Tejada's melodic analogue beauties to wind down a little, and Hidden Orchestra's symmetrically structured huge ebb and flow remix of Symmetry to close. So much great work in there, I hope you have time to listen through and enjoy it as much as I do! And massive thanks to Christian, Tom, Ryan, Vessels, Nico, Pat, Ash, Joe, John and Hidden Orchestra for your work on this.
