Ólafur Arnalds

Known for his film and series music in the cool and soaring, or even very, very cool and totally soaring, genre, Ólafur Arnalds is also a multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, drums, banjo) solo or as part of numerous collaborations.

But since we're in Iceland and there are no boundaries between genres, he also played with the metal bands Fighting Shit between 2003 and 2007 and Celestine , but also Heaven Shall Burn , a super angry German rock band, which campaigns against racism, social injustice, drugs and for animal rights.

At the other end of the musical spectrum, in 2015 he worked with pianist Alice Sara Ott to offer their free interpretation of Chopin's scores, recorded under the title The Chopin project .

In short, Ólafur Arnalds has a wide range of talents.
