Ólafur Arnalds: Falling Apart Together
Falling Apart Together
An attempt at dismantling the distance between us
A live experience by Ólafur Arnalds
Award-winning artist, composer and producer Ólafur Arnalds returns with his most daring and adventurous project to date.
Falling Apart Together is an attempt at dismantling the distance between us. A concert hybrid that reveals the layers we construct in order to feel safe, the moments in which those layers tremble and the shared humanity that emerges when we allow ourselves to be exposed.
Together with his team of devoted craftsmen and musicians, Ólafur presents a spellbinding blend of past and new material in a show that challenges the boundaries of what a concert can be.
After his globally acclaimed tours following re:member and some kind of peace – which sold out such iconic halls as Royal Albert Hall, Elbphilharmonie, Sydney Opera House, and Walt Disney Concert Hall – performing to hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide – Ólafur returns with his most intimate and boundary-pushing work to date.
Falling Apart Together explores what becomes possible when we let ourselves unravel just enough to collectively open up.
Icelandic composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Ólafur Arnalds earned a reputation in the late 2000s for blending luminous neo-classical works with subtle elements of post-rock, pop, and electronic music, recording a series of highly regarded releases for the Erased Tapes label, including 2007’s Eulogy for Evolution and ...And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness.
In addition to forming the experimental techno duo Kiasmos with Faroese-Icelandic minimalist Janus Rasmussen, he also branched out into film and television soundtracks, earning acclaim for his scores to the films Another Happy Day and Gimme Shelter, as well as the BBC series Broadchurch. Meanwhile, Arnalds continued to explore the classical world on collaborative projects like 2014’s The Chopin Project with cellist Alice Sara Ott, and an ongoing set of releases with German composer Nils Frahm. He returned to solo work in 2018 with the experimental release re:member.
