"Í gegnum Ísinn" from Ólafurs original score for the film Vonarstræti / Life In a Fishbowl 

Stari Í Gegnum Ísinn

This is a re-recording of the track "Time changed everything" that can be found on the demo album "Time changed everything".

A few weeks ago I released the same track but without the thunder/rain noises in the background. Since many of you seemed to like it, here's the re-recorded version of this song with all the noises in the background.

I hope you like it! =)

Tambour - The Nude & The Quiet (Vinyl Edition)

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

Ólafur Arnalds - Poland

I took a short vacation break in Berlin and my good friend Peter Broderick was so nice to let me stay in his apartment. We stayed in on Friday night because of the rain, pressed record and started improvising... Here is a short excerpt.

Oli+Peter. July 6th improvisation

Ljósið was the 7nd and last track in a week long project, called Found Songs, where i wrote, recorded and released one song per day, for free. I thought it was nice to end the week with something uplifting. Esteban Diacono's video to the song has been very popular.
