Arnold's has immersed himself completely in the world of delicate symphonic composition in a near-weightless orchestral undertaking. Mixing strings with loops, ambience, electronics and beats, Arnold's combines classical instrumentation with an indie-rock aesthetic that draws comparison to Sigur Rós. Eulogy for Evolution is an evocative, orchestral suite that takes the listener on a journey, representing different periods of life from birth to death through slow-building and hauntingly melodic chamber music. It comes with a free download voucher for the 11-track Erased Tapes Collection I compilation to celebrate the label's 1st anniversary. Ólafur Arnold's and his live string quartet performed at unique venues in the UK, including the oldest custom-built concert hall in Europe, the Holywell Music Room in Oxford, before they continued playing mostly sold-out shows throughout the rest of Europe. Over 500 people came to see Ólafur at the State-X Newforms Festival in Den Haag alongside Aphex Twin, as well as at Iceland Airwaves with Amiina and Jóhann Jóhannsson in Brussels. He is already working on his second full-length record and a string arrangement for Erased Tapes friends, 65daysofstatic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Fok \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Vid Vorum SM. \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Haust \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Lokadu Augunum \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Himininn Er Ad Hrynja, en STJ Rnurnar Fara P R Vel\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ólafur Arnalds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32312130830407,"sku":"13775582","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1380151.jpg?v=1747340511","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/arnalds-olafur-variations-of-static","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
