One of Iceland’s most beautiful discoveries these last years is without a doubt twenty-something Olafur Arnalds. Apart from being the multi-instrumentalist in My Summer As A Salvation Soldier and being 1Z2 in the minimal techno project Kiasmos, Arnalds writes his own epic music, orchestrated with strings, electronics and piano. His tantalizing debut ‘Eulogy for Evolution’ (’07) was acclaimed by the international press and his EP ‘Variations Of Static’ (’08) is a truly magnificent follow-up. In ’09 Arnalds wrote the score for choreographer Wayne McGregor’s piece ‘Dyad 1909’ and in 2010 there will be a follow-up to this. Sigur Rós, self-proclaimed fans, took Arnalds on tour with them. Arnalds is a must-see and hear for fans of Ludovico Einaudi, Max Richter and Jóhann Jóhannsson.

For all of you with a well-developed musical taste it’s not at all unlikely that somewhere in your digital or analogue record collection you’ll run into a track on which Peter Broderick performed. This 23-year old American multi-instrumentalist worked his way into the musical world through some good old-fashioned session musicianship. You can hear him play on records by M. Ward, She And Him or Dolorean. And there’s also a good chance you’ve seen him on stage alongside Horse Feathers, Laura Gibson or Efterklang. But why we have chosen to have him over is because of his own body of work varying from pure instrumental piano pieces (like on his mini album ‘Docile’) over clever orchestrated string music (like on the orchestral conceptual album ‘Float’) to intimate singer songwriter music (like on his folk record ‘Home’). In other words: highly recommended!
