Lauren King hails from mystical New Zealand. This playlist is a complete collection of all her current tracks on SoundCloud - 32 pieces in all (minus the Album Teaser) - just short of 2 hours of total playing time. Almost every piece is contemplative and peaceful, with an occasional more raucous piece to mix it up a bit. Lots of piano, violins and rich orchestra. As always, I love to put on one of my playlists and get back to work.

Song Of The Caged Bird

The solo piano track "I Giorni" has been featured on a BBC advert for arts and culture programmes. 
The title track, "I Giorni" has had a lot of interest due to Greg James' airing in June 2011 of the piece on BBC Radio 1.[2] The song entered the UK Singles Chart at #32 on 12 June 2011.

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.

The Overview Effect

Introspection

Listen to an exclusive “Solo Piano Edit” of 'Them' by Nils Frahm, taken from his approaching Late Night Tales album. The original version appears on his score of the film 'Victoria'. 

"This is the main theme from my first feature film score and it soundtracks the part where they finally kiss in the club… I soloed this piano part in the track and listening to it on its own, I almost preferred it to the original version, so I was pleased that I had the chance to use this alternative version on my mix." - Nils Frahm

or via iTunes: http://snip.ftpromo.net/lifestoryloveandglory

Erased Tapes artists and friends Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm have separately carved out a musical career that defies genres both with their unique live shows and a loyal fan base that’s always eager to hear what their prolific output will bring. 

Their latest collaborative 2-track release ‘Life Story Love and Glory’ is a live improv affair on two pianos, recorded in 2012 at Nils’s Durton Studio in Berlin. Fans may wonder why they have waited until 2015 to release these tracks, but having revealed a new website www.arnaldsfrahm.com you may think this may not be the end to their musical story this year. 

“We would meet in Reykjavik or Berlin with the intention to share some days off work, hiking, swimming or eating pizza. That is great for a couple days, but after a while we would always end up back in the studio, fiddling with synths or pianos.” – Nils Frahm 
“You can hear in the beginning of ‘Life Story’ how I have already started playing the piano whilst Nils is still moving microphones around and preparing everything. It was all kept in!“ – Ólafur Arnalds 

‘Life Story Love and Glory’ will be released as a 7” on Erased Tapes – exclusively through record stores only on August 21, 2015 ahead of its digital release later on – as an ode to this classic and beloved format.

Ólafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm – Life Story

Coming soon...

Somewhere between now and the future, a hunt begins in the blue neon space before darkness. The near dark.

Gideon Wolf’s new album lives in the headlights on that empty road, sweeping the distant violence at high speed. A soundtrack to the escape from a Ballardian dystopia.

‘Near Dark’ sees the duelling elements of Tristan Shorr’s musical output merge into one; prophetic ambience driving headlong into rhythm and distortion.  

Think Ben Frost and Max Richter colliding in a futuristic urban landscape – “a vertical Kubrick event horizon that is equal parts Nils Frahm and Oren Ambarchi” (Cyclic Defrost).

Mastered with precision by James Plotkin, the album will be limited to 200 copies, for release in September 2015, with packaging in the customary Fluid Audio style.

Very excited to share the first single "May We Dream Forevermore" off of my upcoming 2017 album "Absolute Self I∞I" that is in the preliminary stages.

Really poured my heart into this new piece. The past few weeks have been very inspiring for me so I decided to take the last couple days to really focus in on what it meant. Here's what I came up with :)

Lyrics:

There was a time, when I was lost, and I found you
Looking back, we built a life, on what we thought was true
In your eyes, I saw myself fading away
And now we know, we just can't stay

So far away, distant memories
For now today, we go our own ways

You, need to find your own way
Gone, are the dreams we once knew
Now, we can't waste anymore time
You, need to find your own way

Moving on, to start anew
The heart holds, the stories and the truth
You never know, what you might find
If you never loved, than you never tried

When I first heard Re, it put a huge smile on my face. I was fascinated by the delicate honesty in the recording. Sometimes one great idea can trigger many streams of thought - this was such a derivative, and I've worked to preserve the fragility of the original, while letting the electric guitar have a nice conversation with Nils's piano. Hope you enjoy it, and have as much fun as I had working on it - Sridhar

Lyrics:

We, we are empty
We are empty

It's the same design
should've been 'cause of a reason
He spent his time
to search and find a solution

How could it be?
How could it be?

He stood aside
never got into the meaning
He gave his life
but never tried in believing

How could it be?
How could it be?
We, we are empty
We are empty
