- For 2 years I kept this for myself. Now I let go this beautifully, emotional music.
I've recorded this in Ghent, Belgium, on his 'An evening with ÓA'-tour, where he improvised to get new ideas for a new record.
The pictures were submitted by fans on his Tumblr, inspired by his latest album.
I have arranged the photos as the way it feels to get homogeneous with the music.

It's time to dream away...
Thank you. - เพลง
Hi guys, if you are interested, I've just put my new song online.

+Mauro Neyt Wauw, It's actually really good. I can't find your band facebook?
+Michelle Nocon Thanks!
Pillowfilm.ours is on Facebook, but it's a quiet place. At the moment I don't feel I have to update that page.
+Mauro Neyt Ik ga toch eens piepen! Ik krijg geen resultaat op fb vrees ik maar bandcamp is prima :)
+ Mauro Neyt, Thanks Friend , Greetings from Viacha - Bolivia.

“Melancholy is the happiness of being sad.”
"La mélancolie, c'est le bonheur d'être triste."
― Victor Hugo

Feeling everything all at once and yet something still not yet felt yet still somehow comprehensible beyond the (still) describable still corners of finite understanding.
Oui !!! c'est exactement ça ! 😊
I do like the background unmusical rustle, little coughs, people shifting, cell phone ring, cup falling, persons voice quietly echoing. Idky, it just makes it more real and subtle. Its beautiful to be imperfect like this. Life goes on and continues despite our organized "beautiful" song. This awesome element of this song continues when the song is over. It tunes us in into the subtle spontaneous rustle we do hear in real life all the time.
i agree, the subtle noises add a lot to it. i cant really describe why, but i think hearing the person who is playing the music in the recording is really beautiful, it makes the music even more human maybe. since you like these background noises i recommend you also listen to "Hania Rani, Ólafur Arnalds: Woven Song - piano reworks" and "Trance Frendz - An evening with Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm", you might like these too :)
"There are many different kinds of sadness" -Olafur Arnalds
Yeah i totally get you! A sadness that warms your heart at the same time and gives a joy inside thats make the sadness blissfully satisfying
a pervers feeling I would say is what this gives me a melancholia of sorts.
The suffering or the bad memories are as important as the good memories, and the good experiences. If you sort of, can imagine life as being 99% of the time quite linear, and most of the time you're in a state of neither happiness nor sadness. And then that 1% of the time you experience moments of very crystalised happiness, or crystalised sadness, or loneliness or depression. And I believe all of those moments are very pertinant. It's like I said to you, that for me it's mostly those crystalised moments of melancholy which are more inspirational to me. And in a strange way they become quite beautiful in their own way. Music that is sad, melancholic, depressing, is in a kind of perverse way more uplifting. I find happy music extremely depressing, mostly - mostly quite depressing. It's particularly this happy music that has no spirituality behind it - if it's just sort of mindless party music, it'd be quite depressing. But largely speaking, I was the kind of person that responds more to melancholia, and it makes me feel good. And I think the reason for this is, I think if you respond strongly to that kind of art, it's because in a way it makes you feel like you're not alone. So when we hear a very sad song, it makes us realise that we do share this kind of common human experience, and we're all kind of bonded in sadness and melancholia and depression.” - Steven john wilson

And one of them might be caused by polish vodka while you need to get somewhere on a van :D
@@MrWakeupalready for me, life is not at all mostly linear without feeling very happy or sad. On contrary, I am almost always either happy or unhappy. Lately, unfortunately, I am sad 99% of time.
I do think people misunderstand Oli's music, he does not make sad music, if there is sadness in the music, like a lot of it, the point is Oli always looks at silver linings- the hope, the peace, the emotions, the humanity that makes us human.
Exactly! There is a sensitivity and thoughtfulness to it that is hard to find in music these days...
There is a thoughtfullness and sensitivity that I have only been able to find from music in these days
There is an innate sense of hope in all art that we create, no? Some people like to make things black and white. Some people like to tell us that the world is made up of shades of gray. Very few will tell you to take off your damn sunglasses and witness the wealth of color and subtlety that makes up our beautiful, beautiful world.
well said beside i don 't agree on just sunglasses cause it doesn't takes enough color away compaired to the grey view of a few :) and pls with less grey and black smoke cause mommy(earth) doesn't like it :)
eskimoeason so true...

It is very receptive. Can't avoid listening
I'm going to quit my job and listen to this on repeat instead.
What a beautiful idea x
Me too
J. L. Sanguinetti Or.. you can take "This" into your job.
thank god i dont have a job to quit so i just sit in my floor and listen to this on repeat....
me too
I just discovered him 5 minutes ago. I’ve never heard such beauty.
Until a few hours ago I never knew this beautiful music existed. It goes straight to the soul.
my fav study music- the music is like my story, full of pain but also the courage to keep going. Thank you for this gift!
This is hauntingly, heart rendingly beautiful……depth that words will never completely encompass the parts that send one realizations of the miraculously complexities of life.
I love to listen to this while going on my late evening walks around the neighborhood. It helps me relax and think, and slip into my own little world as I watch the sunset.
When I listen to this piece of music: I am held by a strong, warm and understanding being. I am safe to feel the pain, the devastation, the loss, and the deepest vulnerability.
I pass through: I emerge whole - healed.
Gracias
Hermosos y maravillosos sonidos
BENDICIONES INFINITAS
I listened to this over my winter break back home, during which my cat got heart failure and was put down... the beeping in the song I imagine is like the machines he was put on before he left :(
He’s in a much more beautiful place now
I'm so grateful you shared this beautiful piece of music with the world :)
..this soundtrack, so one is, say, dying, an emergency room, drifiting in and out of the consciousness, hoping not to hear the human (insectile) buzz any longer...while the life-support machinery keeps beeping....finally, one leaves, or, rather, joins the bigger purpose. sigh of relief. lol.
..or wakes up from a coma / near death experience, and this is what they hear from _'beyond'_
@@cherryscarlett ...that too, yeah, there's mysteries out there we need to explore : )
I really need to sit down with Arnalds... wanna know the things that go on in that young man's head.
This is too beautiful.
Never seizes to put me back on track!!!
This is tugging at my heart, im crying over here!
Thank you, this is amazing.....what a wonder to have had this moment in time!
this is so beautiful. I can feel so many emotions and can't help but drift away and feel inspired, while listening to your music. thank you.
Simply love it...no words....no thought ...simply being...what a gift to all of us...thank you!
Thank you so much for this music. This is a present you gave to all of us.
Totally breathtaking. That's how I love the sound of a piano. Such an amazing pianist.
Love his music, so resonating, the photos in this are beautiful - particularly the ones at the beginning, exactly the feel that I strive for with my own photography. Thank you for sharing this.
I am seeing him tonight in Manchester, i simply cannot wait! While i am on his music journey i forget about all the every day struggles i face. Thank you Olafur
Thanks for floating it. We are all listening to awakened music now, instead of weeping all day.
I’ve heard and discovered some really great music on TH-cam over the last several years. Music that inspires and concentrates your ideas into an almost tangible quality. But this track is something that I keep returning to over and over again, its a true piece of art, reflexive and organic, almost willing you to go and do something creative.
Thanks for uploading. Olafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm are amazing on improvisations.
i was under the hot shower for an hour, letting olafur's music take me away.. the water fell on water and rippled away with the music.. soon, it made me become shapes.. and then this compilation played.. i felt myself become brown..look up, and become yellow.. my nerves were branching out, i was branching out.. i became a tree whose leaves were growing.. i was glowing..
02:45 was track where my heartbeat was in line with the lifeline of the song.
i feel so cleansed. thank you for sharing this.
save the planet
Best improv i've heard in ages... amazing
im really glad i stumbled upon Ólafur Arnald's music, just hearing the piano that he plays is enough to soothe me. i listen to this recording a ton when i draw and sketch, so thank you for sharing some of his wonderful music so that more people can be exposed to his ways of creating art :>
absolutely stunning, music and images....thank you sharing.
Thank you for releasing this beautiful piece ❤️ what a coincidence, after 3 years I find this piece on TH-cam when I heard it for the first time in Gent during a modern dance workshop, brings back so many memories...
Thanks Mauro!!! I appreciate your sharing very much! His music never fails me!!!
WOW! Great music. This is going to be the music I listen to when journaling. There is so much depth and wonder to this. It makes me think and get lost in my thoughts.
This gives me heavy flashbacks and realization to how fast time flies
amazing music, amazing photos, thanks for putting this together.
This along with rainymood enabled just makes a beautiful mix, perfect for just relaxing... or just feeling your sorrows flowing away... to new dimensions.
His music has so much passion and emotion. I love listening to this music when I'm writing my essays.
The pictures fit quite well, thank you for downloading this video :)
Glad I found this on a random accidental click while watching something completely unrelated. Tears in my eyes here
Perfect compilation and good job. Excelent!!! Olafur Arnalds is Top.
Many many thanks. Man is healing, ....slowly.....
Thank you dear for sharing with us this beautiful piece, really appreciate it.

His music is just brilliant! I love to bask in the essence of it's relaxation after a long and stressful day!

So beautifully inspiring, makes me smile at life's sadnesses like never before..

Ha liefde niet eens zo’n lange woord maar bezit vele facetten ( zelfs Lie ) de lie ) liefde kun je niet met eenvoudige woorden omschrijven dat moet je voelen en velen voelen het niet verwarren met ordinaire sex maar echte liefde is weergaloos,mistig, SAD, dromerig, onoverwinnelijk, denkt dat de hele wereld rozengeur en maneschijn bij heldere hemel is , het benauwd of bang voor verlies ,je wilt het opbergen maar waar ? Of gewoon een rare greazy inbeelding kortom de mens wil liefde maar tegelijk is het afschrikwekkend bang om haar of zijn vingers eraan te verbranden zoals ik 👋 ❤️🔥
This music really estranges me from reality. It separates me from the world and chills me out, all of a sudden. I put this music on when I want to take a moment for myself, escape reality and isolate myself for a while.
As soon as I found out this new composer [discovered with the "Living Room" album], I fell in love with him.
Thank you so much, indeed, Olafur.

Beautiful music... great to work listening to this.
Thanks for uploading man.
Extraordinarily beautiful
Beautiful, thank you for sharing!
Sublime composicion ... Cuanta belleza!!!
Gracias...
Amazing! I got chills running down my spine.....this music has depth I was looking for today
Beautiful!
Thanks✨
This song doesn't make me sad. It makes me slow down and just take in the ambient sounds and just lose all thought. The times in the song when the deep drum thumps that sound like a heartbeat start takes me to a good place full of serenity and peace.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of art..
Breath-taking intense music. But still so relaxing and strong at the same time...
This is absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you for the upload. I also took a listen to your bandcamp link, and I liked it, verily.
Love it! Love this kind of Music. Makes the life a little bit better.
The Energy moves through you, some real cool energy moves through Olafur Arnalds.
the void that fills my mind's eye
The best word I could use to describe this would be Enchanting...
Pro mě tento druh hudby povznášející , krásny , super
Thank you for sharing brother. This music saved me.
Thank you for sharing it. It's amazing. :)
Thank you so much for sharing this. Beautiuful.
I actually have loved hearing Olafur improvise the two times that I have heard him do it. The other being the Trance Frendz film -- however he spelled it.
Muy bueno, gran descubrimiento, es como escuchar a Arvo Part relejado
thanks for sharing, brother. this is amazing.
