Leftovers Soudtrack - November By Max Richter

The Gravel Road - The Village (2004) OST

Lyrics- Finding ways through the darkness. It’s never easy, you should know this. You try to hide, but can’t escape it. Sometimes you wish you could erase it. So now you sit. Hiding yourself in your room. You try to hold yourself together, but know that you will never escape.

Escape

ABOUT LIVING ROOM SONGS:

Icelandic contemporary composer Ólafur Arnalds created and released a new song, one per day for one for one whole week during the month of October 2011. The songs were recorded and filmed live in the living room of his Reykjavik apartment and released instantly for free as streamed videos and mp3 downloads.

Thousands of fans followed this exciting project online at: livingroomsongs.olafurarnalds.com

Living Room Songs will now also be released on CD, Vinyl, Ltd. Special Edition CD &amp; DVD and as High Quality Downloads on December 5th via Erased Tapes.


Following in the spirit of Ólafur Arnalds’ critically acclaimed Found Songs (2009) now comes Living Room Songs. This time Ólafur takes the idea further and invites the audience into the comfort of his living room, where the songs were recorded live and the whole process filmed. The songs were instantly released in form of a free mp3 download and video stream- straight from Ólafur's Reykjavik apartment.

IN HIS OWN WORDS: ‘One night I was just playing my piano here in this apartment and I was writing a new song and I didn't have my phone on me which I usually use to record ideas. So I actually took out my MacBook and I didn't want to open like a proper recording program, so I just opened Photo Booth and recorded a video of myself playing the song so that I would remember the song. And I really liked the atmosphere of that video and that's when I thought I should do a series of songs in my living room...’             – Ólafur Arnalds


Born in the suburban Icelandic town of Mosfellsbær, a few kilometers 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 since his 2007 debut Eulogy for Evolution. Ólafur Arnalds’ second full-length album ...and they have escaped the weight of darkness, 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. Ólafur is currently touring with Ryuichi Sakamoto on his Trio Tour throughout Europe.

My (new and updated) Dirty Edit of the amazing Planet Earth II theme by Hans Zimmer for David Attenborough's Planet Earth II on BBC. This will 100% certainly never be released anywhere :)

Hans Zimmer - Planet Earth II Theme(Crazy Fluke Dirty Edit)

I always said that there was something in the water, up there, in the Nordic island country of Iceland. Something charming, sweet, and slightly melancholic that drives musicians to create some of the most beautiful music in the world. My list of favourite Icelandic composers includes, of course, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Ólafur Arnalds, Daníel Bjarnason, Atli Örvarsson, Anna S. Þorvaldsdóttir, Valgeir Sigurðsson, okay and maybe even the post-rock band, Sigur Rós, and now I am absolutely thrilled to add Atli Örvarsson to that ever-growing list. Admittedly, although Örvarsson is gearing up to release his debut album on INNI Music on Jul 3rd, this is not his true unveiling to the world of music. In fact, Örvarsson has already scored over 40 films, working in LA alongside Mike Post and Hans Zimmer, which earned him many accolades, including the HARPA Nording Film Composer Award – his score credits include Babylon A.D., Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Vantage Point, Angels & Demons and even Pirates of the Caribbean series. His next production is music for the new Apple TV+ series Defending Jacob. But! Before we get swept up into the credits, let’s take this moment and enjoy this gorgeous track.


“Dropar” is centred around a mournful piano melody which is resounded by the brooding, wistful strings. Ranging from soft opening notes to the dynamic build-up which soars above the vast and open landscape, this song of barely half a dozen notes becomes an anthem of the weeping soul in search of home. The triumph of the piece lies in its execution, featuring an unequivocal performance by the Sinfonia Nord orchestra and Múm cellist and Nordic Music Prize-winning musician Gyða Valtýsdóttir. You play this music once, and it will loop upon itself inside your mind in hopes of hearing the entire album.
