Ólafur Arnalds (born 1986, Mosfellsbær, Iceland) is a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist whose music weaves piano and strings together with electronic loops and beats - a sound that moves fluidly between ambient, modern classical and atmospheric pop. He won a BAFTA TV Craft Award for his score to the ITV series Broadchurch and received three Grammy nominations for his 2020 album some kind of peace. Beyond solo work, he co-founded the experimental techno duo Kiasmos with Janus Rasmussen and has sold out venues from the Royal Albert Hall to the Elbphilharmonie.
Ólafur Arnalds announced the 'Falling Apart Together' world tour - 19 shows across Europe and North America starting October 2026, with Dublin dates selling out immediately.
Arnalds released Flow 5-6, the third installment in his ambient Flow series, limited to 1,000 vinyl copies sold exclusively through his online store.
Arnalds released 'A Dawning', a full-length collaborative album with his late friend Eoin French (Talos), which he completed after French's death in 2024.
Kiasmos - Arnalds' duo with Janus Rasmussen - returned to the stage with concerts at Brussels' Cirque Royal and OLT Rivierenhof, marking the duo's long-awaited live comeback.
Arnalds released the EP 'SAGES', a collaborative project with Swedish artist Loreen.
