An Evening with Ólafur Arnalds

I discovered Ólafur Arnalds a while back and was immediately moved by his music. From his YouTube channel I've watched in awe at his improvisation skills building emotive soundscapes almost at will.

Now there is this brilliant concept. For 7 days, Ólafur "invites the audience into the comfort of his living room, where the songs will be recorded live and the whole process filmed. The songs will instantly be released in form of free MP3 downloads and videos to stream - straight from Ólafur's Reykjavík apartment." It's a mixture of improvised songs and unreleased material.

Two of the videos are below and you can head over to AudioPornCentral to check out 3055 one of the most beautiful , moving tracks I have ever heard.
