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 2009, 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.

Kiasmos - Burnt

Wunderland, taken from Arovane & Hior Chronik's album, titled In-between. Available now on double-white vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve, and digital formats. 

"This track was made with a patch i've programmed on the Waldorf Q synth'. It's an arpeggiated sound with delay efx. I love to tweak this kind of sound. The track is quite repetitive and reminds me of the minimalistic music of Reich and Adams. It was fun to tweak the delay time and shift the arpeggio pattern to accomplish a shimmering, floating kind of effect - like a huge cloud, rising and resolving in the sky" - Arovane.

Beacon - IM U

The original of this by the band "This Will Destroy You" has been a favourite of ours for a while. Recently it was featured in the great film Room, which spurred us to make our own version. Here it is, re-imagined the We Are All Astronauts way.

You can download this for free on our BandCamp page by following the 'download' link (just put 0.00 when it asks for an amount), and as always reposting and sharing is much appreciated. Enjoy!

Big love,

Merrin Karras - Void (ASIPV005)

Something that's been lurking around my hard-drive, feeling not quite right or complete since the end of 2015.
It's amazing how clearly you see what's wrong after a long lay off!
Inspired by @Sonmi451 although I had to go my own way with it rather than slavishly copy Bernard completely.

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
