Ólafur Arnalds - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@carlhammill5774]

Just finished working 12 hr shift in ICU with Corona patients. This help reset me. Thank you.

[@libery2555]

It's true, i am same baby nice maracuyá!

[@brandonshaffner8970]

Thank you so much for what you do. I love you.

[@tomaszfraczek414]

thank you for what you are doing.

[@pedrofunes1278]

Thank you for your work and for your words. I study music and sometimes I feel like music is worthless in todays societies, but then I read this kind of words and I remember how important it can be.

[@Loganlips1]

Deepest admiration & Thank You..

[@fitnessbrotherade2959]

Since my spoiled dog died, I have been sad, and I found Arnalds by chance and he gave me a certain tranquility and serenity with his music

[@martinlovesart]

Surprised many are hating on the baby crying - if it was over powering then yes would be annoying … and as a musician can see how it would have been a bit off putting with such a quiet piece… but… really thought it added to it! This is on my download list and actually now tune into the baby which brings out lots of emotions, one of which .. when you have a baby and he/she is constantly crying you would give anything for them to stop.. But when you no longer have that baby you would give anything to hear that cry again.

[@dingbatjack1234]

“I’ve got an idea.... let’s bring the baby!” Lol the look on his face 🙈

[@rictualfury965]

I can't tell how much I was cringing for those people

[@robertparkin]

The baby was fine until Ólafur started. The parents did try to move but KEX was rammed so moving away was somewhat difficult, I felt sorry for them. Tip: If you have a small child don't sit at the very front.

[@hobmarg]

@@loebie This. I have a 5 month old, parents need to accept you don't get to do all the things you used to anymore, some environment it is not fair to others (or your kid). Have the other parent watch the kid or a babysitter or just don't go. Frustrating when parents seem to refuse to give up anything from their old life or believe they can integrate their baby into everything they used to do.

[@NathanIsLegend]

I saw Sigur Ros not long ago and TONS of people had their babies. It was actually awesome. Definitely wasn't as intimate as this show though. Maybe it's an Iceland thing ;)

[@Glanthor88]

@hobmarg Also, loud music is bad for a little kid.

[@AndyDay]

"Can we get whatever that noise is turned off? I think it's air conditioning or something." It's a baby. Definitely a baby. I've heard one before.

[@h.hunsel6314]

:DD

[@soyruli6620]

me la ganaste perro jajajaja

[@andrewdaigneau7322]

haha... I thought the baby was a genius add on in the mix to pull you towards the emotion of new life.

[@Cedar77]

He didn't mean the baby though. There's some white noise in the background.

[@heythatsnotmywalrus2819]

@@andrewdaigneau7322 I thought the same thing. Haha

[@arthur_merechin]

In the music of Olafur Arnalds, the always unattainable supernatural Beauty is so palpable...

[@galdmatic8045]

i cried like that baby the first time i heard an olafur performance

[@0xUsurper]

Always get the chills. Still till this day in 2022, I listen and will always love Ólafur.

[@retrobluemusic]

his music's so beautiful, it stops baby's from crying.

[@wolverinefan99]

The microphones they used for this are so wild that even the little creaks in people's chairs felt like they were coming from my own office and not from my headphones! Crazy!

[@liteoner]

Apparently Olafur used to worked as an audio engineer for some time, and he does his own micing/recording/mixing. His live recordings sound on par with the studio versions.

[@dannyortega2278]

Wow, I was going wild looking around, I thought I was going mental, men those mics!

[@BennyOcean]

I'm wearing excellent headphones and I kept looking over my head thinking something was happening in the room with me. Yes the audio recording quality is very good.

[@rebeccabalzanibarrow]

'Put your hands inside my heart and pull out all the dreams, the hope, the longing, the pain; then make it into notes, play them out...let them sing a vulnerable song of endurance, of despair, of desire - and here it is, the sound my heart relates to, the sound my heart sings when it's alone.'

[@MarikaMeos]

Well described

[@davidmoreno8358]

Rebecca, is this your writing? If not who? Really lovely...

[@amandar7629]

Did you write this? So beautiful!

[@rebeccabalzanibarrow]

@@amandar7629 - yes! I wrote this just after listening...it just came pouring out!

[@rebeccabalzanibarrow]

@@davidmoreno8358 - yes...I wrote it - it wasn't planned, just a spontaneous response to the immeasurably beautiful thing I'd just experienced.

[@luisenriquealcantaramedina3184]

Nyepy + Doria is just amazing, A real masterpiece

I will never forget your very gentle look at the baby's cry.👶

[@palmquac]

"Saman" just gets me every time.

[@XaniaProjects]

I love how babies used as an instrument. genius.

[@danbox26]

The transition to Doria... Pure magic!!!

[@diklam3]

2020 is a year to give the earth a break from humanity...

[@rafeek6730]

the transition from nyepi to doria is wonderful

[@RT-df8uv]

An incredible musician and a true source of inspiration for myself and my children. Thank you, KEXP for making this possible some 10 years ago and thank you Olafur for what you have been doing. I've got all your vinyls in my collection and enjoy your masterpieces.

[@VaciouzVevo]

as indonesian, im proud of you for make a song that inspired from our culture

[@norberttietjen6506]

Alfian Ahmad , where in Indonesia exactly ? Do you know that MINIMAL MUSIC composers like Philip Glas , Terry Riley , Steve Reich , the great John Cage , Debussy were inspired by gamelan music ? Gamelan music inspired many classical music composers.

[@samuelhadrian3790]

Your music is my new religion

[@barbarameier1367]

This miusic its healing

[@frankpaquet295]

Love his playing, it's ethereal and just beautiful to listen to. I love how he makes the piano sound. Thank you for this; it's 5 years old and I've just now heard it! (from Sandi)

[@TheWillypeel]

I 've seen him in Toulouse France a few months ago, Sublime and relaxing, perfect...

[@davidmackay5782]

Just putting it out there, i like the baby crying, adds another layer of innocent beauty to it

[@beardedblogger8292]

I just happened to watch.. no, *experience* it while living on an abandoned farm, birds chirping in the yard and a cup of fresh hot coffee in hands. Life is beautiful. Takk fyrir.

[@YK-jn2kp]

nothing stays the same once rinsed through his melody. It has the potential to melt even the deepest coldest soul like myself :)

[@mestimac]

I haven't listened to any of his music for a few months and forgot how gorgeous it is!

[@Mossmagick]

This is so peaceful and tranquil, even though the baby was crying in the background in the beginning.

[@mizzzlind]

love from Indonesia, Bali indead a special place :)

hahaha I don´t know you guys, but I love the intro with the baby crying!!

[@adamtaylor31]

I took my headphones off for a second...i live in an old New England house. Im sure a few babies lived in here before my grandparents were born. No ghosts, just someone bringing their baby to a piano concert.

[@tonytrufitt1180]

The baby crying at the start adds something to the piece that I really appreciated. Ones noise is another’s music.

[@valerieschumacher5471]

Give me a break. They can listen to the baby’s “music” where they’re not disturbing everyone else’s

[@tonytrufitt1180]

@@valerieschumacher5471 it’s just my opinion. I didn’t say it is better and I didn’t force the opinion on you.

Wonderful time to listen such beautiful music. Nyepi, what a great concept, which becomes our daily-lifes now during COVID-19. May the darkness vanishes quickly and people learn their lesson deeply.

Amazing!

[@thabolegrand34]

You are a blessed melo man soul and your music brings such great solace.Thank tout for the sharing.respect man!!!

[@readytogo52]

I love how he wants the air conditioning off because it makes noice and he's completely fine with the crying baby :D

[@71hammyman]

The baby is more natural I suppose, adds more feeling than air conditioning, either that or it would be pretty awkward if he stopped and asked the mother to shut it up with 20 minutes left.

[@SongBillong]

I suspect that he raised the issue of "noise" to give a subtle hint to the parent that the baby was annoying, without specifically asking for the baby to be removed from the premises. He has more patience than I would!

[@simondegraeve7452]

I've just raised my headphones, thinking i wouldn't hear the baby. Lovely concert/content btw, thank you.

[@genetixdnb]

Absolutely breathe taking Ólafur! I loved the show in Dublin too!

I thought the same about my children, who were sleeping in the sleeping room "Are there my kids?" I was repeatedly taking off my headphones to check these sounds, where they were coming from

[@faktasejarah8318]

14:09 the story behind "Nyepi" which was written in Bali, Indonesia. Telling a story about Balinese's holiday which was celebrated by being silent, giving Mother Earth a day break from human activities. Enjoy it! ☺❤
