OLAFUR ARNALDS (London Union Chapel, 25/10/08)

A selection of mostly instrumental compositions from Icelandic film composer Olafur Arnalds, accompanied by a string quartet and laptop beats (when he remembered to trigger them). A touch soporific at times, when everything came together the effect was often quite beautiful, especially in the exquisite surroundings of Islington’s Union Chapel- the dove projections during the last song were a lovely touch. LOOK AT ME MA, I’M CULTURED!
