Olafur Arnalds

I followed Mr Jones and Mr Ball onto this website for a reason. It wasn’t for the fame or the women, although I was promised plenty of both by Jacque Jones. The video above is one of the main reasons I joined. Several weeks back I showed the music video for Ólafur ArnaldsLjósið to some people and they swiftly dismissed it due to the neo-classical music . I decided then that it would be a good idea to get touch with a more receptive bunch of people. Hopefully that’s you.

The beauty of this computer animated video, made by Esteban Diácono,  is its deceiving simplicity. The concept of this video is pretty basic but to convey the emotion and complexity of the music with such grace takes serious skill. This was originally a fan made video but it became the official music video. I don’t blame the record company for the decision, you rarely see a music video so perfectly in sync with its subject. Simply awesome.
