Ólafur Arnalds COMPOSER

Ólafur Arnalds has steadily built a reputation as a unique artist and composer, purveying a neo- classical style with an array of influences which range from electronica to minimalism. He draws on a variety of sources and inspiration whilst maintaining his own individual sound, mixing strings and piano with loops and edgy beats to create an immersive, bold and tantalizing crossover between ambient, electronic and pop.

Originally from Mosfellsbær, a small-town suburb of Reykjavik, Ólafur released his debut album ‘Eulogy for Evolution’ in 2007 and has since released a further three albums, the latest being ‘Re:member’ which received critical acclaim. Alongside his work as a recording artist, Ólafur has composed music for a variety of film and television projects.

Most recently, Ólafur composed the title theme for Apple TV’s Defending Jacob, for which he has received an Emmy nomination for ‘Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music’ and he scored Electric Dreams for , a sci-fi anthology series of ten epic, ambitious standalone episodes inspired by Philip K. Dick’s renowned short stories.

Ólafur was commissioned to compose the score for the highly acclaimed and wildly popular ITV/Kudos series, (Series 1-3) starring and for which he won the BAFTA Craft Award for ‘Best Original Television Music’ in 2014 and was nominated again in 2016.
