Welcome to Echo System: Words & Music, where we dive deeper into the sounds and conversations we have with artists during our adventures around the world.
In this episode, we go back to Iceland in June 2023, where Ólafur Arnalds gave us rare access to his studio for a chat and very intimate performance, before his incredible Cercle show at Hafursey in the South of the country.
You may have heard parts of this encounter in episode 2, but this was such a unique experience for us that we had to share the full thing with you! So sit back, put your headphones on and treat your ears to an extended version of Ólafur Arnalds playing his favourite instruments at talking about life in Iceland.
