ABOUT: 

Celebrated for his innovative programming and award-winning recordings, Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson is offering a window into his musical life story with his new album, From Afar. The highly personal double album reflects Ólafsson’s musical DNA, from childhood memories growing up in Iceland to his international career and contemporary inspirations. 

Recorded on both upright and grand pianos, the album captures two distinct sound worlds with works by Bach, Mozart, Schumann, Brahms and Bartók, alongside Icelandic and Hungarian folk songs, a world premiere by Thomas Adès, transcriptions by Ólafsson himself, and interconnecting pieces composed by his hero, 96 year-old Hungarian composer and pianist György Kurtág. Exploring such evocative themes as home, childhood and family, the album features Hungarian and Icelandic folk songs, nature-inspired works, interwoven homages and three previously unreleased transcriptions by Ólafsson.

In the blink of a night : from the national theater to RÚV

Synopsis: 
It's a beautiful evening in the summer cottage. The grill is heating up when Björk introduces her new boyfriend to her older sister Ragnhildur and her husband. The sisters were raised in a broken home, but their lives have taken different paths. Ragnhildur has recently been voted into parliament and is married to the former soccer player Magnús, now a successful entrepreneur. Björk is on the cusp of making it as a star with her punk band and has recently met Óskar, who looks like a nice guy. Surely this must turn out to be a fantastic evening...

A young Icelandic playwright steps forth with a ruthless reflection on current affairs, a riveting piece straight from Scandinavian reality. A tragicomic play about investors, footballers, politicians, artists and social workers: on the surface, the different generations argue about the meaning of life and what it is to be successful, happy or a valued member of society – but underneath, secrets are uncovered, lives splintered, and beliefs shattered.

A star is born: The magical Laufey on location

Laufey Lín Jónsdóttir born April 23, 1999), known by the mononym Laufey, is an Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter. She achieved notability in the early 2020s, and describes her musical style, a mixture of jazz pop and bedroom pop, as "modern jazz".

Having performed as a cello soloist with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra at age 15, Laufey was a finalist in Ísland Got Talent (2014) and semi-finalist on The Voice Iceland (2015). In 2021, she released her debut EP Typical of Me and graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, United States. Her debut album, Everything I Know About Love, was released in 2022 and charted in Iceland and the US. It was followed by her second studio album, Bewitched, which was released in 2023 to critical acclaim; the single "From the Start" found moderate success in Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Laufey has cited Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Chet Baker and Taylor Swift as sources of influence.

NOWNESS premieres Dustin O'Hallorans new music video

The music video for Dustin O'Halloran's "Spiritus Naturae Aeternus," featuring the evocative dance and choreography of Fukiko Takase, serves as a poignant allegory for the cycle of life. The long, uninterrupted scenes uphold the dance's integrity and allow the choreography to connect with the haunting melodies, the requiem-like cadence, and the profound themes of O'Halloran's composition. The contrast between Iceland's natural beauty and the desolate urban settings provides a transformative journey from organic to artificial environments. Within a bleak world, Takase's dance becomes an expression of the enduring process of growth, renewal, and eventual decay - Markus Englmair
