Thank you so much for doing these breakdowns Olafur! As a young composer that has looked up to you for the past few years, the knowledge that I am gaining from these videos is invaluable!
I did miss the live streamings!!! Great your back. Thanks for the sheet music. Will have a go at it for sure😉Not a fan of kiasmos myself. im too melodic and classic i guess 😉 but its good news you are back with new projects. Hope things look Up soon to be able to tour. Must be pretty hard for you guys too these uncertain and dark times. Your music is helping us all through this. Stay safe and seize the day. Tons of good vibes from the Basque Country
That sample library with Sandra , and implementing that in cycles, that's brilliant, I really wish if you both could release this as a sample library or something, it just sounds magnificent
Wow.... nice to know how your team produce an excellent music..... Thank you so much..... for coloring our morning in daily activities.... God bless you #OlafurArnalds.... btw..... nice to hear your laugh..... (1:24)
This was awesome to watch. Any chance you might do a session breakdown of "New Grass"? The piano sounds amazing in that and I would love to see how you went about creating it if possible. It almost sounds like it began in Stratus.
Thank you so much for all these videos. I can be watching them for days.. is it possible a video where you get deep in your piano recording approach? preamp, compressors? thanks
Amazing! Thanks so much Olafur for this brilliant insight into your creative mind and process! I have one question, I hope someone may be able to help me .... It's about the "piano layer". I am really curious about how the various piano channels (different microphones) are "panned". I wonder if Olafur reads this, or anyone else can help? I'm am Ableton user, not Pro Tools .... I'm not sure if the panning was actually shown on the screen? If yes - would love for someone to let me know! Many thanks
He talks about it a lot at around 32:00. Basically there's two stereo mics on the piano with the right mic capturing the higher notes and the left mic capturing the lower notes. Then there's two mics, a center and a bottom that are both in mono, no panning, and finally two room mics which are in stereo but there's not a ton of panning as far as I can tell.
@@frequencydata - Huge thanks for replying. I don't actually have access to a good piano and recording studio at the moment, just using VSTs for my sounds, including piano (Noire from Native Instruments - I love it). I wonder how Olafur's set-up would best be emulated using VSTs in a DAW, rather than a real piano and mics? For example: Would I play a song, then duplicate the tracks and treat each track as an individual piano/mic set-up that Olafur has? And then how would I pan each track to best emulate Olafur's setup? Hope this makes sense?! :-)
@@DavidFedele I use Addictive Keys and they let you select what "mics" you want and then mix them as you see fit. If you don't have that option I'd probably do something like what you're mentioning, send the track to 4 different busses: The first bus - Cut out some highs and pan left to simulate the mic capturing the left side of the piano, The second bus - Cut out some lows and pan to the right to simulate the right half of the piano, The third bus - cut out a lot of highs and give a low end boost to simulate the under the piano mic, and the fourth bus - Simulate the room mic(s) by maybe cutting some low end and using a good room reverb (to simulate whatever kind of space you want.
Thanks for this Olafur! I was wondering what mic setup you have for these tutorials. I'm looking to invest in some new audio equipment for recording vocals from my room. I know there are many other factors that go into this but I'm just curious what you recommend for audio recordings for an indie artist.
For those watching this after the stream, the actual stream starts at 14:00 minutes. Sorry for the awkward start.... :)
Thank you so much for this.
Awesome live, GG !
Thanks for this Olafur , wonderful . Glad to hear your working again to produce another Kiasmos album. I will look forward to that ..regards Alan
LOL. Was just wondering about that. It's all good. Wonderful opportunity to see your process. Thank you!
whatever you do is good, because it comes from you
I was a fan of Olafur’s music, but the first two minutes of the stream made me a fan of Olafur the human. Haha.
You can only love this man :)
This does put a huge smile on my face, every second of it

Thank you for doing this and for your amazing music. 😊
Discovering other dimensions of music. The beginning is like a subtle fragrance diffusing between the trees on a summer morning
Please, keep talking about this piano production for ages !
최애 아티스트ㅠㅠ 넘 좋아요~~~

Thank you, Olafur, I love your work, also with Kiasmos.

Hope you do more of these streams in the future! Thank you for this one tho 🙏♥️
This is amazing! The whole world should listen to this...maybe we would act better after this.
That sample library with Sandra , and implementing that in cycles, that's brilliant, I really wish if you both could release this as a sample library or something, it just sounds magnificent

You should actually put the sounds of the crickets on the album, it really adds to the atmosphere of the song!
Come on up, come up from the darkness... And everyone welcomes you into the light
new kiamos music ! yeyyyyyyyyy :)
Namaskar
Thank you
Amazing video thanks! Could you write Sandra link here? (Whose voice was sampled)
💗🎶
Oh no...!! I missed it!
