Creative Cribs - The Studio Of Ólafur Arnalds

US His outboard gear, methodology and philosophy.      17/04/22

Ólafur Arnalds is a  Icelandic multi-instrumentalist and producer who's Grammy released five studio albums, and twice nominated for a Grammy. In the video, Christian Henson of Spitfire audio (re)visits the inspirational studio which was inherited from Sigur Rós and features a spectacular wall of trees they installed. They cover his wonderful Korg collection, the Pianos, his desk, the extensive outboard, his tape machines and much more. What a wonderfully calming and inspiring space - look out for his use of the Genki Instruments Wave Ring! 

Here is a performance he did from the studio for Tiny Desk Concerts:
