Ólafur Arnalds Instagram – Sometimes things take exactly the time they need to take…
Back in 2017, we started conversations with @cerclemusic about doing a show together. They even came over to Iceland in 2018 to look at some locations.
Despite my impatience and the many plans that did not work out, I am glad this took 5 years to pull together, because it finally led us to this perfect moment beneath the incredible mountain of Hafursey, where hard work, creative flow and – to be honest – pure luck came together in some kind of a beautiful dream.
Thank you to my incredible band for braving the cold and giving this everything, to my sound technicians Terry and Jonny for somehow making us sound good in the wind, to @covert.productions, @braceproductions & @luxorice for their hard work and immense respect for the environment, to my management team Árni, Sven and Hildur, and my label @mercurykx, who spent months working on making this a reality and of course Cercle for their trust in me and the process.
This was an experience like no other.
