Ólafur Arnalds - Found Songs

Found Songs is an ingenious idea by the talented Ólafur Arnalds.
The idea behind Found Songs is that the man himself, Ólafur Arnalds created and produced a song a day for a week with each track becoming an exclusive download straight from label 'Erased Tapes' website.
The material on Found Songs mainly comprises of minimalist classical piano and strings.
It's great to see such a hark back to classical music but with a completely modern spin on how the music has been made available.
Although some of the tracks can be a little hard work you have to think to be written and produced in such a short timeframe to this quality is very rare and there are some real gems such as the last song 'Ljósið' which is stunning.
