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
Born in the suburban Icelandic town of Mosfellsbar, 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. After recently having supported Ryuichi Sakamoto throughout Germany, Ólafur will return with a European ?Trio Tour? in spring 2012.

Info o artyście ze strony OFF FESTIVALU:

Wyprzedana sala londyńskiej The Barbican Hall, koncerty na największych europejskich festiwalach i trasa po Europie z Sigur Rós to sporo jak na tak młodego artystę. Wszystko to dzięki jego talentowi do tworzenia muzyki, którą najkrócej można nazwać ekstremalnie piękną. Tworzy świat delikatnych kompozycji symfonicznych, łącząc w niezwykły sposób brzmienie smyczków i pianina. Z sukcesem łączy klasykę i pop. Sam mówi o tym w ten sposób: "Scena klasyczna wydaje się zamknięta dla ludzi, którzy nie studiowali muzyki przez całe swoje życie. Chciałbym wnieść mój klasyczny wpływ w życie ludzi, którzy zazwyczaj nie słuchają tego rodzaju muzyki - otworzyć ich umysły. Zwłaszcza ludzi młodych, którzy zdają się stanowić najliczniejszą grupę wśród mojej publiczności". Przy akompaniamencie kwartetu smyczkowego Arnalds zabiera publiczność w podróż marzeń. Wprawia ich niemal w stan medytacji. Tworzy oazę spokoju. Ta magiczna atmosfera wciąga nawet tych, którzy nigdy wcześniej nie spodziewaliby się takich doznań podczas koncertu kwartetu smyczkowego i fortepianu. Polscy fani mieli okazję przeżyć to w 2008 roku, gdy Arnalds wystąpił jako support przed koncertem Sigur Rós w Warszawie. Prezentował wtedy materiał z EPki "Variations of Static" (2008). Rok wcześniej wydał swój debiutancki album "Eulogy for Evolution", który zyskał duże uznanie wśród krytyków. Po klasycznym debiucie, na "Variations of Static" pojawiły się już elektroniczne trzaski i odgłosy maszyn. Oba wydawnictwa ukazały się nakładem londyńskiej wytwórni Erased Tapes. Obecnie są dostępne w ramach 'Erased Tapes Collection I', darmowej kompilacji mającej uczcić pierwszą rocznicę istnienia wytwórni.
