Ólafur Arnalds tells us what his album "..And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness"" represents in his musical journey. Erased Tapes

This week in Erased Tapes Rewinder: Ólafur Arnalds tells us what his album ‘…And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness’ represents in his musical journey.

"It’s strange to think that it’s been 10 years since the release of ‘…And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness’. It was an album of firsts: some of my first experiments with electronics and it was the first time I felt I was able to flesh out the full scope of the vision I had for my music.
The album concept is heavily inspired by Béla Tarr’s beautiful film, Werckmeister Harmonies. In fact most of the track names are Icelandic translations of the dialogue from the opening scene. It speaks about the cyclical nature of light, after the darkness comes light and so on - which feels eerily relevant during these dark times in the world.
Musically I think it was one of the first times I let a little light in with the melancholic music I started out making. And over the years I think that light has just grown stronger.
I look back on that record and all the tours we did around its release with great fondness." — Ólafur Arnalds

For Now I am Winter turns 7 years old today.

This album was kind of like the teenage years of my creative path. Revolting against the things that kept it safe and comfortable. Against what I had become accustomed to and turn it upside down.

Special thanks to Arnór Dan and Nico Muhly who helped open those floodgates.

*Saudade* - without a doubt one of the most beautiful words on existence. It symbolizes a mixture of a few emotions: longing, melancholy, incompleteness, and love. Saudade can apply to a place, person or another time. (How we will feel after the tour...maybe.)

The music from re:member has continued developing as I play it every night on tour. And particularly 'undir' has become one of my favorite moments of the show so it felt right to capture that.

Premiere: Watch the official music video for 0952 via The Independent, from the 10 year anniversary edition of Eulogy for Evolution.

When I met director Eilífur Örn for a pitch meeting he unknowingly started describing the exact concept of Eulogy for Evolution. So we decided to shoot the video in the very same room I wrote the song in.
