Olafur Arnalds

Another Happy Day OST

Ólafur Arnalds’ minimalist approach to contemporary classical music and his inclination to mix indie rock with classicism are a good starts for making a soundtrack. Arnalds put together score for dance performance Dyad 1909 which consisted of few new compositions living along with his older material from stunning debut album Eulogy For Evolution and its EP successor, Variations Of Static. After last year’s …and they have escaped the weight of darkness he returned to the world of scoring, this time for a film. Another Happy Day explores upper-class family dysfunction as is said to “marshal [it with] much sensitivity, rawness, and truth.” Lynn’s Theme is an emotive and melancholic piece featuring Arnalds’ typical mourning piano taking a duet with woesome violin. Despite its shortness, Lynn’s Theme contains calm, emotion, thrill and its silent release. As the first savory is promising piece of emotion, I really look forward to hear more of Ólafur Arnalds’ soundtrack.
