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.

:::Lyrics:::

I didn't understand it at the time. I fail to achieve any degree of understanding in the ensuing years, which are three in number. I presume Herb means that inherently you cannot be commercial and artistic. You cannot be commercial and quality. You cannot be commercial concurrent with have a preoccupation with the level of storytelling that you want to achieve. And this I have to reject. I don't think calling something commercial tags it with a kind of an odious suggestion that it stinks, that it's something raunchy to be ashamed of. I don't think if you say commercial means to be publicly acceptable, what's wrong with that?
As long as you are not ashamed of anything you write if you're a writer, as long as you're not ashamed of anything you perform if you're an actor, and I'm not ashamed of anything.
This is the area I know. But I think innate in what Herb says is the suggestion made by many people that you can't have public acceptance and still be artistic. And, as I said, I have to reject that.

Just two bodies
Just two bodies

I've been so ready to dim my mind

Come over or not, I've 
Been so ready to dim my mind
Your body a drug, for mine
Two bodies moving in
Time and space to try and heal me
I know what I want, so come over and

CHORUS:

Hold me, I won't ask for anything more
I'm hurting, use now when I'm vulnerable
It helps me fake some love for a little while
I know what I want, so take advantage of me 

You're closed, you're a book. No lines
Can't read you if I try
And if that's the way you want it
That's fine I'll just close my eyes and
Try to ignore you, a free ride for you to

Just two bodies
Just two bodies

(CHORUS x3)

The opening cinematic for Fallout 4 was stunning and the piece of music was even more beautiful. I couldn't find the original piece on the soundtrack or anywhere else, So I thought I'd make my own version of it. Happy listening Vault Dwellers ;)

Illumination

A remix of Coldplay's song inspired by the gentle sounds of music from the borderline of house and tropical style, which are ideally combined with the vocals of Chris Martin and Big Sean. The perfect set of musical experiences, enclosed in one whole.

INFO
„The Big Now“ is the new release on Robot Koch`s „Trees and Cyborgs“ Label.
It`s a collaboration between the two LA based artists Little Ashes and Robot Koch, two critically
acclaimed artists/producers who both left their European home countries a few years ago to meet
in LA, where the song was created.
The Big Now is a somewhat dark, yet visceral song that is not afraid to be a popsong at the core of
it`s leftfield production.
The EP features both the original track, and a more minimal piano version, beautifully played by
Koch`s frequent collaborator Julien Marchal, as well as a Remix of the original track, which is
actually another collaboration in itself: Koch teamed up with Ryan Davis for the remix. Davis released
his latest EP „From Within“ on Anjunadeep, and his recent remix for Nils Frahm and Olafur
Arnalds was featured in the playlist of Aphex Twin.

Exclusive Odd Beholder 'Lighting (Fejká Remix)'

Black Forest breed Fejka just remixed Swiss pop duo Odd Beholder turning the original song into an melancholically yet beautifully sounding piece of electronic music. Shortly before the release of his en’Lighting’ remix release on Sinnbus Torture the Artist spoke to Brian, how close friends call Fejka, about his preference for melancholic soundscapes and female vocals, the elements that inspired him to remix Odd Beholder and – since the new Star Wars movie just hit cinemas around the globe – his perception of the dark side of music and people.

Fejka's remix for Odd Beholder's track 'Lighting' was released December 13th, 2017 on Sinnbus.

"For what we’ve noticed, they like to create some sort of anxiety to the listener, building consistent and long pieces enriched with small appointments reaching several moments of “sadness” and excitement. Absolutely brilliant."
