Ólafur Arnalds - 'Fok' live on Kastljós, RÚV TV Iceland

[MdmaMadnesS]

This is such an amazing song...I really like the way it starts so misterious and turns into a hymn that touches the deepest of my heart and is so beautiful that it nearly hurts...Olafur is amazing..!

I now hope, that no one sees this as a spam, but I just think that good music needs to be shared...

I found a guy on youtube called "Silvio pfiffner"

If you've got the time, listen to his song "Coming home" and "Time changed everything"

Breathtaking and powerful song by this young, talented guy..!

I suggest you watch /watch?v=gsmbNs_1UFo

[orlandocastill0]

"how did i forget..howw?"

[lolMsMitsukichan]

It's amazing how even this tune seems so simple in the beginning, Every part of it holds so much power.

Lol I love the differences between his song and the song that is played at the end of the show.

[ownerpowner380]

thumbs up if you love lots of bands from iceland! <3 olafur arnalds, sigur ros,... so beautfiul! go iceland! :P

[ploothable]

@ownerpowner380 @50calfrag

People always try to find a way to connect Iceland with it's elves and shit like that to the music. The truth is that it's just a projection. It's a cliché designed by the minds of fans so that they can have something to connect the weird etherial sound of Sigur Rós and others to. They just want something to look for. It has nothing to do with Iceland itself. The market overseas does not need Icelandic pop and metal. That's why only the weird things get exported.

[therealKINDLE]

The Reason this guy isn't showcasing the Music Charts World Wide is because believe it or not, Record Labels & Chart Music isn't actually about Good Music. A Long time ago the Greediest people imaginable pushed Musicians out of the Control Seat; Turning their backs on the Real Musicians. As a result, people have been bread & conditioned to like the "Digital" sound where everything is Loud, Proud, Rigid, Non-Expressive, Looped, Stereo-Wide & quite frankly lifeless. And they force it upon ears. ->

[eskimoeason]

@therealKINDLE i'm for ur stands and constanly believe in LOVE(no adjectives to describe cuz love is to feel ) is solution to the every kind of chaos happening in us.

[therealKINDLE]

POP Music is manufactured in cold environments & Sung by a new kind of "Models" for the most part. Seriously, let me know when you hear a POP Song that's over 5 Minutes long. They demanded outrageous things from Musicians such as "6 Hit-Singles on the Album", & setting imminent deadlines.

So Musicians were pushed to the furthest rims of commerciality, where they treat it as Pieces, performances & movements in an ART. Not as a Product in an industry. And that is where we shall stay. Pls Suprt us

[greenmaryeyes]

Really nice!

[cineasta71]

I am so privileged to have found this guy...

[samuelesiani]

He is a pure genius. People like him come to the life just one or two a century...

[THEROTTINGDOG]

i like how that guy just got to drop the f bomb with no prob lol

[rusko2134]

Who dislikes this??????

True Genius 

[matizhan]

his music has the ability to make me feel very content. this man is a genius

[dburnette4018]

so mad i just found this guy because of heaven shall burn if only every one where i lived listened to this

[jballs87105]

Blah blah blicka cclllpppp aaaduuuuu blah blah............F*ck.

[youngaikidoka]

the mix of electro and classical shows music is evolving. come on out of the dark ages where music fits to a 'genre' and must adhere to that genre's rules. let music become music, a never dying tradition demonstrating a person's emotions, be it hate, love, fear, elation, depression, anything. but let it be represented exactly how the artist feels it should. people complain, then again, some may agree with me. but my belief is what i have said here. music can and is evolving- evolving beautifully

[Maaz139]

this is the perfect marriage of classical with contemporary

[ThePursuits]

@Maaz139 I don't know about that. It's amazing as hell, but I wouldn't consider any part of it "classical." The whole thing is contemporary.

[kuroasai]

well, he has gained a lot of popularity but you know.. people these days prefer beyonce unfortunately

[Tyzz]

@kuroasai

Two completely different musicians. Two completely different genre's of music. One retard. You.

Music for dreaming...

[daretodream86]

So young and so talented......an inspiration!

[newlyborn09]

Um, probably just me but the title makes me laugh. But boundless love for this music.

[youngaikidoka]

@newlyborn09 it's 'fok'ing good isn't it? ;)

[newlyborn09]

@youngaikidoka lol certainly is

[therealKINDLE]

It takes a certain kind of mind to dream this up...

[FlyleafrulezZ]

i got to know him because he composed all those intro an stuff for heaven shall burn... bad enough i didn't know him before his music is amazing

[MusicianMonster]

I've put my vocals on this song, it would be very very helpfull if you guys would check it out and share your straightforward, honest opinion.

Thankyou.

[therealKINDLE]

@MusicianMonster I'm keen to hear your rendition... Where can I hear it?

[MusicianMonster]

@therealKINDLE It's on my channel :)

or you could search " Stijn Buysse Fok" and you'll see a video called

Olafur Arnalds ft Stijn Buysse - Fok.

Thankyou !

[romanpicazo]

does anyone know where can i find the piano sheet of " olafur arnalds - 3055"? i've tried everything and i've had no luck :( thank you

[Soulfree]

It's layered music :-) I like it... can definitely picture this guy playing around with fasttracker or something like it when he was younger ;-)

[JoshiXjolie]

OMG!! I want to be in a concert of him!!! Amazing Amazing!! His concert looks amazing!! such a dream!! xD wiiii :D :D :D

[Thrasherdude]

gibsonfreak909:

Sometimes the easiest and minimalistic sounds is all it needs to be a great song.

[IchLiebeMetal]

ever hear of a little thing called minimalism?

[Smilegyrl222]

Musik für die Seele. Macht mich wein. Süss... und traurig.

[sperue]

이 사람의 음악은 정말 대단하다.

뭔가 매력 있어.

[mixhmixhmixh]

de boooooooooooolas!

[douglassmcann]

[Ashia666]

[Mrs0Namikaze]

amazing

[luizachii]

divino!

[skankinbritnee]

This is TALENT!

[MrOctobery]

好驚訝，第一次聽到Ólafur Arnalds的歌曲

能把古典跟電子融合的這麼美....

[liedowninthelight]

i'm loving Ólafur.

[XXIstCenturyKid]

Oh My...

[hyeronimus1]

For all those who like the electro sound i got this for you:

I.S.A.N.

Manual

Hermann & Kleine

thanks (hyeronimus rojapiel)

[LegendaryAdrenaline]

FOK

[heykids93]

I like it better WITH that electro sound.

[MootCake]

I believe it means something that is caught in the wind, I don't think it has a direct translation from Icelandic to english. 'fjaðra-fok' is feathers caught in the wind, so fok would be just the wind part, I have a very primitive knowledge of Icelandic so I may be wrong. Hope that helps.

[RabbitHolocaust]

This is very beautiful, but the electronic sounds annoys me, and in my opinion ruins the whole thing. What a fag

[hyeronimus1]

... becasue its IDM music man... you got to understand that the idm music makes move your arms like a fu***** crazy ... or makes move your body ... listen it ... if not you re going to live in 1881 ... there is no problem about that if you want it ;-) ... thanks bye.

[RabbitHolocaust]

I know what IDM is, and I would not define this as IDM, and I used to listen to that genre too. All I'm saying is that I would prefer this music without the electronics, I think it sounds cheesy. I pretty much dislike most electronic genres. Does anyone know if he has released this song without the electronic parts?

[hyeronimus1]

It isn't IDM in a pure way ... but its an "Ambient Idm" ... I'm just saying this: He got 2 neo-classical albums ... and only 1 fu++++ song with electronic sound ... hahaaaa ... the fusion of genres its very cool in our minds ... Thanks rabbit its a placer to talk about music (im from argentina, south america)

[eraw83]

amazing...

[damnhomie1000]

What a genius.

[peterbundy84]

he is awesome

[gfhrgtbgfgb]

this guy is a genius... i'm crying

[88dangerousdave88]

how old is this guy? he looks so young but he writes such mature and beautiful pieces

[kerzhakov89]

He's 21, if I'm not mistaken...

And yes, he produces probably the best modern classical music at this moment (if there's such term)... Pity really that he decided to make a minimal techno album but hey, maybe it will turn out even good...

[88dangerousdave88]

21 and producing tracks like this?! fantastic! he does interludes in a few Heaven Shall Burn albums which are amazing too.

[hyeronimus1]

its neoclassical idm (intelligent dance music) ... enjoy it... dance! move your head... understand it! :D

[gfhrgtbgfgb]

Oh My God! O.O it's very VERY beautiful! o.o

[tmaneez]

beautiful

[laforet]

love Oli!

[lachitarraamericana]

Óla <3 !!!

[firimituri]

awesome!

[thejoebobaggins]

Amazing!

First time I've heard him and I love it already!

[ognistik]

i don't get how this guy has not gained a lot of popularity already... his music is amazing

[Koniaku]

@ognistik because most of the people like shit like lady gaga .

[MrSandman486]

@Koniaku True. most kids love those artists because of various reasons, but sooner or later their music taste will upgrade.

[ThePursuits]

@ognistik Several reasons: a) minimalist composers tend to go under the radar, b) Sigur Ros, and c) Bjork.

[50calfrag]

@ognistik He is huge in Iceland...part of the problem is in the USA we have completely lost real music. We have gone from Sinatra to Chris Brown and team Breezy. Iceland has so many wonderful artists.

[lyla246]

i love this song its the only type of music i'll listen to without singing and ima say this so dont be hating on me but its the kinda song you could image suicide too a lil

still awesome tho

[klarinetta]

This song goes nowhere and make you think of everything else than the performance of it. Very BORING!!!!!!!

[lyla246]

ouch

dont like it?

dont watch it

dumbass

[Fiddler222]

I love this song to death. But AAAAHH, those violins are driving me crazy.

[ChrisXMetal]

Amazing musician, always loved his work with heaven shall burn.

[ernad222]

yes his music fits perfectly into their albums :)

[deadredeyes]

Wow, this is wonderful!

[BunyipBlueEyes]

It means a "snow drift".

love Bunyip. :)

[Cannons4Ever]

I got that feeling the first time I heard the song. Like, it's hard to explain... but the way this song just starts coming together at the end amazes me... so beautiful <3

[CerebralhHh]

In South Africa, in the Afrikaans language it means fuck...

[321kl]

Drift

[tejrone]

Does anyone know what "Fok" means?

[besix]

What does it means 'Fok'?

[halcyondaysofstatic]
