Ólafur Arnalds - improvisations

[@WanmauCorporation]

Hi guys, if you are interested, I've just put my new song online. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmSTi42onNWgmtU

[@ayreonfreak]

+Mauro Neyt Wauw, It's actually really good. I can't find your band facebook?

[@WanmauCorporation]

+Michelle Nocon Thanks! Pillowfilm.ours is on Facebook, but it's a quiet place. At the moment I don't feel I have to update that page.

[@ayreonfreak]

+Mauro Neyt Ik ga toch eens piepen! Ik krijg geen resultaat op fb vrees ik maar bandcamp is prima :)

[@rammax8381]

+ Mauro Neyt, Thanks Friend , Greetings from Viacha - Bolivia.

What kind of fruit tree is in the thumbnail of this video?

[@whataway8180]

I do like the background unmusical rustle, little coughs, people shifting, cell phone ring, cup falling, persons voice quietly echoing. Idky, it just makes it more real and subtle. Its beautiful to be imperfect like this. Life goes on and continues despite our organized "beautiful" song. This awesome element of this song continues when the song is over. It tunes us in into the subtle spontaneous rustle we do hear in real life all the time.

[@kfogo7459]

i agree, the subtle noises add a lot to it. i cant really describe why, but i think hearing the person who is playing the music in the recording is really beautiful, it makes the music even more human maybe. since you like these background noises i recommend you also listen to "Hania Rani, Ólafur Arnalds: Woven Song - piano reworks" and "Trance Frendz - An evening with Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm", you might like these too :)

I just discovered him 5 minutes ago. I’ve never heard such beauty.

Feeling everything all at once and yet something still not yet felt yet still somehow comprehensible beyond the (still) describable still corners of finite understanding.

[@veve3948]

Oui !!! c'est exactement ça ! 😊

[@ozzy4738]

It is very receptive. Can't avoid listening

[@anny71000]

Ein wunderschönen Farbenspiel an 🎼verpackt.Danke f diesen Genuss🎧

[@duhat.4294]

Amazing sound❤ closw my eyes, lie down on the couch and let myself go to......🎉🎉🎉

[@lisazoria2709]

I love to listen to this while going on my late evening walks around the neighborhood. It helps me relax and think, and slip into my own little world as I watch the sunset.

[@mashajohns7810]

my fav study music- the music is like my story, full of pain but also the courage to keep going. Thank you for this gift!

[@76RaraAvis]

Until a few hours ago I never knew this beautiful music existed. It goes straight to the soul.

[@alysmarcus7747]

this carried me through long nights of deep grief, and hearing it now take s me back there in the strangest way. As painful as it was i wish i could go back - because i left alot of my heart there.

[@d.c.603]

This is hauntingly, heart rendingly beautiful……depth that words will never completely encompass the parts that send one realizations of the miraculously complexities of life.

[@stantonangus3226]

I’ve heard and discovered some really great music on KZbin over the last several years. Music that inspires and concentrates your ideas into an almost tangible quality. But this track is something that I keep returning to over and over again, its a true piece of art, reflexive and organic, almost willing you to go and do something creative.

[@ruthhall5776]

Absolutely love this composition and composer. Olafur’s music is very compassionate complete in its deliverance. I am grateful for his musical insight into our surrounding world…greatly moved…thank you

[@ahvyahvyahvy]

Thanks Mauro!!! I appreciate your sharing very much! His music never fails me!!!

[@Johnymars]

all the pictures are beautiful..the music of Olafur is beautiful and thank you for sharing..

[@robbertboon1985]

I am seeing him tonight in Manchester, i simply cannot wait! While i am on his music journey i forget about all the every day struggles i face. Thank you Olafur

[@allangraham3649]

Glad I found this on a random accidental click while watching something completely unrelated. Tears in my eyes here

[@petrvaclavek8259]

Pro mě tento druh hudby povznášející , krásny , super

[@uluv2nvme2]

I listen to this when I paint....it's a whole different kind of peaceful for me. LOVE.

[@mustangsally2048]

This gives me heavy flashbacks and realization to how fast time flies

[@rkju6679]

im really glad i stumbled upon Ólafur Arnald's music, just hearing the piano that he plays is enough to soothe me. i listen to this recording a ton when i draw and sketch, so thank you for sharing some of his wonderful music so that more people can be exposed to his ways of creating art :>

[@mike85180]

amazing music, amazing photos, thanks for putting this together.

[@rodcc885]

Thank you for sharing brother. This music saved me.

[@crazypilot7577]

This is tugging at my heart, im crying over here!

[@ThingNo]

Thank you dear for sharing with us this beautiful piece, really appreciate it.

[@wendydearn9851]

This is beyond anything, you are gifted with a grace that is a heaven. Always believe in yourself as many do, what sheer beauty!

[@richards8153]

When I listen to this piece of music: I am held by a strong, warm and understanding being. I am safe to feel the pain, the devastation, the loss, and the deepest vulnerability. I pass through: I emerge whole - healed.

[@LuzRamirezGBB]

[@armandinabenavides170]

Gracias Hermosos y maravillosos sonidos BENDICIONES INFINITAS

[@liz-ti2ke]

Thank you for this. Many kinds of sadness indeed my friend

[@maijatreimane]

Love it 💕💞💗 From Baltic Nordic person who is stuck in Australian hot summer.. No it is not sad.. It reminds me of serenity and hope, and greyish blue green Baltic Sea.. Meditation and calmness..

[@reubenmaphutha4497]

I have survived very depressing moments listening to music such as this.

[@jackfuller8071]

Many many thanks. Man is healing, ....slowly.....

[@Karthwarr]

Thanks for uploading. Olafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm are amazing on improvisations.

[@thulanikhathide7778]

I really need to sit down with Arnalds... wanna know the things that go on in that young man's head. This is too beautiful. Never seizes to put me back on track!!!

[@harmrhebergen]

Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of art..

[@eskimoeason]

I do think people misunderstand Oli's music, he does not make sad music, if there is sadness in the music, like a lot of it, the point is Oli always looks at silver linings- the hope, the peace, the emotions, the humanity that makes us human.

[@lisazoria2709]

Exactly! There is a sensitivity and thoughtfulness to it that is hard to find in music these days...

[@ArminJohansson]

There is a thoughtfullness and sensitivity that I have only been able to find from music in these days

[@marcusstoica]

There is an innate sense of hope in all art that we create, no? Some people like to make things black and white. Some people like to tell us that the world is made up of shades of gray. Very few will tell you to take off your damn sunglasses and witness the wealth of color and subtlety that makes up our beautiful, beautiful world.

[@kameleon-ye9iu]

well said beside i don 't agree on just sunglasses cause it doesn't takes enough color away compaired to the grey view of a few :) and pls with less grey and black smoke cause mommy(earth) doesn't like it :)

[@res_demon]

eskimoeason so true... Human - Civil Twilight

[@Hunterdanne]

This along with rainymood enabled just makes a beautiful mix, perfect for just relaxing... or just feeling your sorrows flowing away... to new dimensions.

[@Nurdlinger]

ABsolutely amazing what a talented composer can do with a three chord structure. Discovered Olafur on Echoes, so glad I did.

[@kyleenglot9184]

This song doesn't make me sad. It makes me slow down and just take in the ambient sounds and just lose all thought. The times in the song when the deep drum thumps that sound like a heartbeat start takes me to a good place full of serenity and peace.

[@9-1-1_by_jane6]

Thank you ! Really, thank you for sharing. This music is so inspiring.

[@MaSolarVision]

I'm so grateful you shared this beautiful piece of music with the world :)

[@kfogo7459]

thank you so much for sharing this! i am very grateful that you recorded this and decided to put it out there. i am working on a novella and find this to music to be very touching, setting the mood for scenes i have been struggling with. i hope that you are well even after the 10 years that have passed since you uploaded this video. take care

[@wolfil8019]

This is utterly beautiful.

[@aleta518]

Totally breathtaking. That's how I love the sound of a piano. Such an amazing pianist.

[@sidolanters1394]

thanks for sharing, brother. this is amazing.

[@ArtisticPhoenix]

i was under the hot shower for an hour, letting olafur's music take me away.. the water fell on water and rippled away with the music.. soon, it made me become shapes.. and then this compilation played.. i felt myself become brown..look up, and become yellow.. my nerves were branching out, i was branching out.. i became a tree whose leaves were growing.. i was glowing.. 02:45 was track where my heartbeat was in line with the lifeline of the song. i feel so cleansed. thank you for sharing this.

[@adrianvargas2495]

[@jackfuller8071]

Thanks for floating it. We are all listening to awakened music now, instead of weeping all day.

[@NadjibChannelthemovieguy]

This helps me calm down and wash away all the pain of life

[@DM-py7pj]

This has become my go to for meditation and to help me get to sleep. Beautiful.

[@DarcyJovic]

The Energy moves through you, some real cool energy moves through Olafur Arnalds.

[@vivetupodercuanticomonyolberg]

Thank you! So deep. Music to the soul

[@paolamanusia906]

Thank you so much for this music. This is a present you gave to all of us.

[@byronyouththeatre2781]

thank you for your gift of such beautiful music

[@olipejo]

Perfect compilation and good job. Excelent!!! Olafur Arnalds is Top.

[@benassar6502]

I listened to this over my winter break back home, during which my cat got heart failure and was put down... the beeping in the song I imagine is like the machines he was put on before he left :( He’s in a much more beautiful place now

[@ievaraud]

This is my all time favorite music of Olafur

[@paoloonnis62]

Difficile musicare i pensieri, Ólafur Arnalds ci riesce benissimo ! Grazie...

[@Mccorell]

"There are many different kinds of sadness" -Olafur Arnalds

[@Nokka10]

Yeah i totally get you! A sadness that warms your heart at the same time and gives a joy inside thats make the sadness blissfully satisfying

[@MrWakeupalready]

a pervers feeling I would say is what this gives me a melancholia of sorts. The suffering or the bad memories are as important as the good memories, and the good experiences. If you sort of, can imagine life as being 99% of the time quite linear, and most of the time you're in a state of neither happiness nor sadness. And then that 1% of the time you experience moments of very crystalised happiness, or crystalised sadness, or loneliness or depression. And I believe all of those moments are very pertinant. It's like I said to you, that for me it's mostly those crystalised moments of melancholy which are more inspirational to me. And in a strange way they become quite beautiful in their own way. Music that is sad, melancholic, depressing, is in a kind of perverse way more uplifting. I find happy music extremely depressing, mostly - mostly quite depressing. It's particularly this happy music that has no spirituality behind it - if it's just sort of mindless party music, it'd be quite depressing. But largely speaking, I was the kind of person that responds more to melancholia, and it makes me feel good. And I think the reason for this is, I think if you respond strongly to that kind of art, it's because in a way it makes you feel like you're not alone. So when we hear a very sad song, it makes us realise that we do share this kind of common human experience, and we're all kind of bonded in sadness and melancholia and depression.” - Steven john wilson

There are many different kinds of chocolate - me

[@jasekjaan]

And one of them might be caused by polish vodka while you need to get somewhere on a van :D

[@poppy2908]

@@MrWakeupalready for me, life is not at all mostly linear without feeling very happy or sad. On contrary, I am almost always either happy or unhappy. Lately, unfortunately, I am sad 99% of time.

[@inabeckerom]

Simply love it...no words....no thought ...simply being...what a gift to all of us...thank you!

[@truthhitshard]

i have sleeping troubles these days, i wake up and i got a feeling like i was drowning, extreme feeling of restlessness, this music helps, thank you very much.

[@silentseasons-relaxingmusi7648]

Love it! Love this kind of Music. Makes the life a little bit better.

So beautifully inspiring, makes me smile at life's sadnesses like never before..

[@elforasterdelgos]

Tener la oportunidad de escuchar esta música, este nivel de sentimiento, me parece un regalo divino. Gracias a todos los que habéis hecho posible esta experiencia. Gracias.

[@luacrobat]

Gracias a vos también por sentirlo de la misma manera

Pocos, sienten la música, al igual que tu.

[@joseffinat966]

En dat is zeker de spijker op zijn kop slaan ( experiment/ shows vol ego’s voor hun eigen doeleinden zeker. Nu weet U waarom men SO SO SAD is ,niets is wat het lijkt ,gezichtsbedrog,een rad voor ogen , het enige wat haar ,maar ach wie interesseert zich ervoor Niemand toch ? Uiteindelijk moet de show GO on ( even een pleister plakken en klaar is keesie) ❤️‍🩹

[@jazbramble1434]

Extraordinarily beautiful

[@mariemboukadi3657]

Thank you, this made me cry histerically for 25 minutes

[@introspectah]

+Mariem Boukadi How healing!

[@francisuk9576]

This music really estranges me from reality. It separates me from the world and chills me out, all of a sudden. I put this music on when I want to take a moment for myself, escape reality and isolate myself for a while. As soon as I found out this new composer [discovered with the "Living Room" album], I fell in love with him. Thank you so much, indeed, Olafur. ~Francis

[@ewar2919]

Breath-taking intense music. But still so relaxing and strong at the same time...

[@redguitar69]

This is not sad music, it is how he sees things and he explains it through sound...like capturing pure air, like listening to falling snow or the rain on your face...words mean nothing sometimes.

[@ShaMana999]

Best improv i've heard in ages... amazing

[@TheStarlitfuse]

A lot of emotions get lumped into 'sad'. I think we just don't have the vocabulary for these.

[@metakiqinetics6787]

Thank you, this is amazing.....what a wonder to have had this moment in time!

[@pedrocarracelasmaillo7589]

Increíble y espeluznante..., esa es la sensación que me ha causado escuchar por primera vez a Ólafur Arnalds..., gracias que hay gente tan y tan sensible como para hacer cosas como estas!!

[@thirsklast438]

The visuals are like viewing the work of a maelstrom of hedonistic, banal interpretations of daily life. It's very poetic, and lends itself to the music incredibly well.

[@bandeiraglaucia]

I am deeply grateful. I love this work of art. Thank you very muc

[@elisavieira737]

So beautiful thanks xxx

[@m-bronte]

absolutely stunning, music and images....thank you sharing.

I definitely hear a bit of "To Build a Home" around 7:00 and onwards. Just breathtakingly lovely music!

[@jarednilsson4175]

Thank you Mauro! This is a gem!

[@vancourverite7779]

i am truly inspired by these photographs ! so amazing

[@abrahamfrescas8316]

The world is all perspective, is not that this or that is like this or that, but rather is that one's own mind is like so. Therefore, if all you see is what you see then you miss all that is to be seen. This is truly awakening music & uplifting bc that's how I feel I expression, and I recognize it because I see it within myself. What a beauty the world is...

[@saral.8262]

Amazing! I got chills running down my spine.....this music has depth I was looking for today

Thank you for releasing this beautiful piece ❤️ what a coincidence, after 3 years I find this piece on KZbin when I heard it for the first time in Gent during a modern dance workshop, brings back so many memories...

[@jaesco25]

WOW! Great music. This is going to be the music I listen to when journaling. There is so much depth and wonder to this. It makes me think and get lost in my thoughts.

[@deauvillevrienden]

Dank u om dit te delen Mauro, groeten van Rik (ook uit Gent)

[@Fionnabhair33]

So beautiful, yet: this fills my emptiness, therefore is it full of sadness; I hope all who are listening are finding connection....we all deserve to be, feel and be love....
