从10月3日开始，你将可以在“Living Room Songs”网站上，每天免费下载到Ólafur Arnalds当天在自己雷克雅未克公寓客厅中创作的一首歌曲，也可以及时观看演奏视频。Living Room Songs计划总共包含7首歌曲，除了网络免费下载以外，在今年也会发行实体的CD/LP和高质量数字音乐等多种格式。
事实上，Ólafur Arnalds早在09年4月就做过类似的事情。那时他推出了“Found Songs”计划，在一周的时间内，每天推出一首歌歌曲的即时创作，并在twitter上发布免费下载，还邀请网友给每首歌进行插画创作。最终全世界有超过10万网友下载了他的歌曲，也为后来的实体专辑《Found Songs》打下了很好的基础。
这次的“Living Room Songs”计划，则在“Found Songs”的基础上，加入了客厅创作的概念，并且引入了影像的记录。减少了和歌迷之前的隔阂感，少了一些神秘，多了几分互动。

冰岛新的年轻天才，很有涵养的Olafur Arnalds 能把古典元素融合在氛围和微电子节拍里，有Sigur Ros的味道，也有Mum的感觉。
Olafur Arnalds原来在家乡Mosfellsbaer离雷克雅维克偏壤的一个小镇上，他同时身兼多支Hardcore乐队的鼓手职务，先是替友人的乐团My Summer as a Salvation Soldier担任多项乐器伴奏，还获邀为美国Indie-Rock乐团Cursive担任德国巡回演出的伴奏乐手。Olafur Arnalds的个人音乐作品以钢琴和弦乐为主， 与其说是post-rock， 不如干脆说是modern classical。

One year and a half of composition, recording and mix. Melodic, quiet chamber music mixed with sparse electronic sounds: "Nocturne Impalpable" was Chauveau’s manifesto, with the help of friend and sound engineer Joan Cambon (Arca).

With a list of influences that includes endless childhood summers, Super8, East Anglia and municipal parks at dusk, it's evident that July Skies are steeped in a vision of Albion that finds romance in the chip-paper corners of a past Britain. The musical project of Antony Harding (previously of Avrocar), July Skies has previously released a couple of albums that were criminally ignored - so don't go sleeping again. A collection of material that comprises a US Radio Session, nine unreleased tracks, a couple of Epic 45 reworks and a gem from 'The Height Of Summer' 7", 'Where The Days Go' is nostalgic in all the right ways - mixing 4AD influences a-plenty into a melancholic vision of Britain that echoes Piano Magic, The Durutti Column and Robin Gutherie. Opening through the drifting soundscapes of 'Coastal Stations', Harding weaves an intoxicating blend of water-colour guitars, chiming flourishes and muted vocals into a towering slice of music that will take your breath away. Maintaining this wide-screen perspective throughout, 'Swallows and Swifts' is up next - tickling a tender acoustic guitar melody into life amongst a landscape of echo-chamber vocals and muted instrumentation, before 'The Days We Played' gives you something more tangible to focus on through a honey blushed vocal that ebbs and flows throughout. With everything on 'Where The Days Go' sticking to a relatively restricted palate, Harding makes sure this doesn't matter one jot - as the likes of 'The Softest Kisses', 'It's Late In The Day For Love' and 'Childhood Illustrator' all use their time wisely and find new avenues to explore in the shoegaze firmament. Further bolstered by the inclusion of some suitably epic rewords from Epic 45, July Skies will have you warm and wistful on contact.
