BAFTA winning artist, composer, musician and producer Ólafur Arnalds has unveiled his new track ‘re:member’ with a video from Black Dog director Thora Hilmars.
The single features Ólafur’s ground-breaking new software, Stratus, which transforms the piano into a self-playing, semi-generative instrument. The custom-built software controlling the pianos is the result of two years of work by Ólafur and audio developer Halldór Eldjárn. The algorithms generated from Stratus also helped create the innovative artwork for ‘re:member’.
The music video, provides insight into the new music. Olafur says, “The video touches on elements of masculinity and how men communicate their feelings. But also the hope and joy we can find in each other when we manage to connect with each other or something that we share.”
Ólafur will be unveiling the Stratus Pianos later this year as part of a huge worldwide tour – performing over 40 shows, including London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall on 14th May.
