Biography
Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds gained recognition in the late 2000s for his unique fusion of neo-classical, post-rock, pop, and electronic music, releasing acclaimed albums on the Erased Tapes label. He also ventured into film and TV soundtracks, collaborating with artists like Nils Frahm and Alice Sara Ott. Arnalds' diverse career includes forming the experimental duo Kiasmos and releasing solo albums like re:member and some kind of peace, as well as composing for projects like Broadchurch and the TV miniseries Surface.
Arnalds' transition from metal drummer to neo-classical composer was sparked by a collaboration with German band Heaven Shall Burn, leading to his debut album Eulogy for Evolution. He continued to expand his musical horizons, scoring films like Another Happy Day and developing his experimental techno project Kiasmos. With a mix of solo releases, collaborative projects, and soundtrack compositions, Arnalds' innovative and versatile approach has solidified his status as a boundary-pushing artist in the modern music landscape.
