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.

Christian Löffler

Christian’s sound comes from a small city next to the Baltic sea.
“Lost” between landscapes, his music expresses a unique vibe drifted from a dialogue through an inspiering nature.
Walking alongside “unknown” paths, passing through misterious boundaries of a unique soul.

Lake People’s interpretation is a strong melting pot of different energies.
Breaking through a journey that brings flashbacks of a stroboscopic basement, flashing lights and a tipsy dance floor mood.

Nuno Dos Santos is a magnetic translation of a dialogue between soulful ambients and dark atmosphere.
Hidden voices whisper melancholic anthems of a never ending night.

‘Mare’ is Christian Löffler’s second studio album and follows in a similar vein to his self-released debut, 2011’s ‘A Forest’. However a key difference is that while his first album was heavily sample-based, ‘Mare’ is much more organic, in which nearly every sound and every instrument is self-recorded.  Many of the album’s ideas are based on field-recordings taken from the surroundings. 

Mare is out 7th October via Ki Records
