Expendable Friend: Vocals & Lyrics & Melody
Kristian: music

Lyrics: 
To the end of the world I will follow you
If you'll have me along while we're passing through
Like a circus, restless, wandering
I have surrendered everything

Could it ever have been more wonderful
I was dead to the world, like an animal sheltering for the spring,
When I might wake again
And then you found me and stirred me back to life
Now I see with my eyes wide open I've everything that I need
Everything here with me

I don't care where we are as long as you're with me
Where there used to be doubt now there's certainty
You put the joy in everything
I couldn't be without again

Could it ever have been more wonderful
I was dead to the world, like an animal sheltering for the spring,
When I might wake again
And then you found me and stirred me back to life
Now I see with my eyes wide open I've everything that I need
Everything here with me

J.Shore: "Architect's Dream got started from an old draft which I kept on my computer. Building the track was a very architectural process for us - having just the melody and adding layers and layers on it. For the album version we added the piano theme after the breakdown, which also includes one of the most cliche jazz phrases. Cliche or not - it works here brilliantly."

(Check the jazz phrase: listen to the clip of Architect's Dream here: https://soundcloud.com/orion-jshore/orion-j-shore-architects-dream and compare it to the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krDxhnaKD7Q )

Orion: "Rich (Solarstone) was compiling his Electronic Architecture 2 compilation and asked if we would have any ambient/chill-out tune ready. Architect's Dream was just a very nasty sounding draft at that time but Rich heard the potential and asked us to finish it. It became the closing track of Electronic Architecture 2 and got really nice reviews. The album version is slightly altered with a new piano theme, mixing and the intro vocal."

After All

While working on completing my second album, I needed a break - and so did Miko. While he was asleep, I created a new track to which he happily added the ethereal sounds of his magic violin. 

Actually I think this is going to be a track on and for my 3rd Album which will probably be released in 2016 or 2017. :D

Keep Shelly in Athens - Our Own Dream

Bark Psychosis - Absent Friend (Machine Lovers remix)

Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds set to release his first Hollywood film score.

Ólafur Arnalds’ original motion picture soundtrack for Sam Levinson’s feature film debut ‘Another Happy Day’, starring Ellen Barkin and Demi Moore, will see a worldwide release via UK modern classical label Erased Tapes Records on February 27, 2012.

PRE-ORDER it on CD/Vinyl/Digital now from: http://erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP038

IN HIS OWN WORDS: 

‘In mid-December 2010 I was on a holiday in China when I received an email from Sam Levinson about the film. We got on the phone at like 4 in the morning Beijing time and ended up talking all through the night, instantly connecting. He told me that they had been listening to my music while making the film, so the film was already very influenced by my music. However, it was not until Ellen Barkin – the beautiful force that she is – had pestered the producers for a week, calling them every day about how I am the right one for this film, that they finally gave in. The only catch was that it had to be done two weeks later, in the first week of January. So I ended up scoring nonstop all throughout Christmas, making my mother mad in the process.’ - Ólafur Arnalds

CONTEXT:

Born in the suburban Icelandic town of Mosfellsbær, a few kilometres outside of Reykjavík, the 24-year old composer has always enjoyed pushing boundaries with both his studio work and his live-shows. Through relentless touring and determination this young artist has steadily gained recognition worldwide and continues his mission to lure an indie-generation of pop and rock fans into an emotive world of beguiling electronic chamber music and delicate classical arrangements.

'The indie kid who knows the score’ – Guardian’s Observer

'An artist who can exert power with the lightest of touches’ – BBC Music


TRACK LISTING:  

1. The Land Of Nod  2. Through The Screen  3. Before The Calm  4. Lynn's Theme  5. Alice Enters  6. The Wait  7. A Family Stroll  8. Poland  9. Out To Sea  10. Autumn Day  11. Everything Must Change

'A starry-eyed house experience that fits seamlessly into a soulful, deep-felt dancefloor dynamic. Swells of low end surge into a crisp, percussive breakdown that never seems to shift too abruptly, leaving Arnalds' & Frahm's original melody work to come humming through the compressed kick in a blissful wave of moonlit elegance' – XLR8R

'A hazy slow-builder that sits nicely equidistant between Arnalds’ solo work and his excellent Kiasmos project' – The Line Of Best Fit

Erased Tapes label mates Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm record and mix their first collaborative record between Reyjkjavík and Berlin as a surprise release for label founder Robert Raths.

The ambient/electronic work ‘Stare’ is a true family effort from Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm with Anne Müller joining in on cello and all graphics by close label-friend and now in-house designer Torsten Posselt of Feld Studios.

HUMORES IV:
Melaina Cholè is about decay. It is the moment the solid matter of the body becomes liquid again and stops existing.

Video:
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0aT1sMYfSo&hd=1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'HUMORES I - IV' is a multidisciplinary project by Yvonne Brouwers and composer Arafúra. The starting point for the project is the Humours theory that was developed by ancient Greek doctors Hippocrates of Kos and Claudius Galenus. This theory states that the human form exists out of four main bodily fluids that all have their individual characteristics. These four fluids are each represented by a 'chapter' of life.

These chapters have been the base for four different artworks, as well as four different tracks that each represent a phase of life. The metamorphoses that takes place within these phases is that of human matter. Humores is a project about the substance of the human body, the way it changes, the wonders of coming into existence and eventually returning into nothingness. It's about our flesh, our bones and the blood that runs within us. It's the one thing we all have in common, the way our body evolves and eventually decomposes.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The digital album is available for download (including full pdf artwork).
The limited edition DigiPak album is released through Garden of Eyes with a limited run of 200 copies.
