Found Songs
Vinyl repress on clear vinyl In April 2009 Iceland's neoclassical export Olafur Arnalds created the 7song series 'Found Songs' recording a song a day for 7 days and instantly making each track available via Twitter With artwork contributions from fans via Flickr this modern release awakens memories of a tradition that seemed lost in the digital age we live in Born in 1987 Olafur hails from the suburban Icelandic town Mosfellsbor just a few kilometres outside of Reykjavik He has immersed himself completely in a world of delicate symphonic compositions generating near weightless orchestral pieces Arnalds explores the crossover from classical to pop by mixing chamber strings and piano with discreet electronics which makes him a perfect fit for cinematic pop label Erased Tapes
