Phoebe ~The spaceship of Miracle~

Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen finally release their unique Nordic electronic sounds in album size.

'Full of melancholy-frosted electronics and emotive swells of classical piano, the new single from Nordic duo Ólafur Arnalds﻿ and Janus Rasmussen is a delicate, icy slowburn' – NME

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.

-----
All around me
赤い太陽とシアンの影   (There's the fiery sun and shadow of cyan)
You got to see
黄色いブランコと煉瓦   (A yellow trapeze and the brick)
鮮やかな明度           (What a vibrant lux)

戸惑いグラグラ         (Uneasy and waggly)
夢はあおざめ           (The blue rushes into the dream)
闇　ひとつないカンバス (A canvas whistle clean no gloom)
Well behind there
Still in a stark white

Paint it, don't leave it dry
And from one day you'll be gone, I know
But don't know what it feels, lonely or only?
白黒のつかないニジ     (Rainbows neither B nor W)

Grab it, don't ask me the way
'Cause you should know what is wrong now
I know you are not so far away
明暗　ぼかし 反射する  (Contrasts, blurs, reflects)
A thousand of chroma


Color me light and dark
I'm gonna turn your voice
Up to twelve
But we are just little bit shy

I'm on the edge
I need a little courage
To draw your eyes

I'll paint you clear
Cautious and safe
Leaving no void
I know you have it in your mind

Hear me
We can dance
Let the light drive our feelings

Color me light and dark
I'm gonna turn your voice
Up to twelve
But we are just little bit shy

I'm on the edge
I need a little courage
To draw your eyes

I'll paint you clear
Cautious and safe
Leaving no void
I know you have it in your mind

Leave the birds and the sky
For a rainy day
You'll give them new chroma


Life is a colorful dream
We are running through the sun and moon
Life is a colorful dream
Our heart is broken without limelight

Life is a colorful dream
We are running through the sun and moon
Life is a colorful dream
Our world is broken without grim dark

Chroma (千のクロマ) [Tone Sphere]

The essence of cinematic ambient groove, music that will disconnect you from every-day life and bring you closer to your quiet place. This album was over a year in the making. The music was created with the outdoors, extreme sports and the great unknown in mind.

-------------------------------------------------
Once you've done spelling the yell
I'll be falling further into the murk
The clock is ticking in the dark

The rabbits are not guiding us
Fools fold their hands
The birds are singing lullabies
Hanging the sword of Damocles

Oh, can you hear me now
They are lurking under the sleeve
I was too scared to see my things
Crawling in a reflector to my crave

Please sing your song loudly
So that I can hear you
Break it down or stare at the imagery
If you're still waiting the rabbit for you

Her voice tastes like a checkerboard
The Humpty won't sing like your storyboard
A riddle made of a thousand chords
Goes round and round in the hall of mirrors

My words, just the umbra of your place
The castle fallen by their meddle
A riddle made of a thousand chords
Goes round and round in the hall of mirrors

Games of gamut, their zen and the art
The rain stings just like a dart
Wanted was I just to fix your heart

I say bigger, you'll become bigger
I say smaller, you'll get smaller
Yet sick broken pianos go play around
I got stuck in a dream like clouds

Fear won't guide us
In the hall of mirrors

Fear won't guide us
In the hall of mirrors

Fear won't guide us
In the hall of mirrors

Fear won't guide us
In the hall of mirrors
