KIASMOS

Welcome to space that is filled with sounds.

The duo Kiasmos is a meeting point of the Iceland based producer Ólafur Arnalds and the electronic musician Janus Rasmussen from the Faroe Islands and together they create a breathtaking mix of ambient, post-classical music and electronic beats. Arnalds has recorded critically acclaimed albums and has received the prestigious BAFTA award for his work for television. Janus Rasmussen was a member of the electro-pop outfit Bloodgroup which Arnalds assisted when recording. They bonded over shared love for minimalist, experimental music and their first project together were two compositions on a split with Rival Consoles in 2009. Their eponymous 2014 debut was created in Arnalds’ newly built studio in Reykjavik and was released under the Erased Tapes label. Three years later, the album Blurred followed.
