Ólafur Arnalds: 'Old Skin,' Live On Soundcheck
Hear the entire session and interview: http://soundcheck.wnyc.org/story/olafur-arnalds-in-studio/ Ólafur Arnalds began his music career as a drummer for hardcore metal bands in his native Iceland. But for the last several years, the composer and multi-instrumentalist has taken his sound in a decidedly different direction. His haunting compositions have been called everything from neo-classical to indie-pop, and film and television producers have flocked to him for musical scores. Those scores, plus his penchant for making his music available for free, have garnered Arnalds a worldwide audience. His latest album, For Now I am Winter, features vocals from the Icelandic singer Arnór Dan and orchestral arrangements by the American composer Nico Muhly. Hear Arnalds perform "Old Skin" in the Soundcheck studio. Subscribe for more music videos: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=wnycradio
