ABOUT THIS ITEM
Ólafur conceived "Found Songs" as a way to collate several lost and found musical sketches and ideas in a 'very challenging, but fun' series. The experiment offers its listeners an intimate insight into Ólafur Arnalds' creative world. 'The songs will be different from what's on my albums; they will be short, mostly just made up from piano. Something to keep me going'. So far more than 70.000 people downloaded the "Found Songs" series via foundsongs.erasedtapes.com. Each track inspired a wealth of artwork from his fans – submitted via Flickr. Hosting this project on their official website, Erased Tapes Records watched the collaboration between Arnalds and his online audience flourish and found it fitting to combine the music and artwork into one complete work.
