How does the tiny country of Iceland produce so many incredible artists? I don't know how but I'm happy every time new music comes from that mysterious place.
Two of my favorite albums this year are from Icelandic composers, Jóhann Jóhannsson - Orphée and Ólafur Arnalds - Islands. The moment I heard these two recordings I knew I'd have to make a new modern classical mix. All of the music here is fairly new and most of it has an accessible classical take with an ambient touch.
The full track list is posted in the first comment.
As always, go to lowlightmixes.blogspot.com for downloads.
beautiful
So glad you liked it!
Was heartbroken to hear Johannsson had passed, what a legacy to leave behind him.
I think Olafur's Oldurot was probably my favourite piece from 2016, them Icelanders have something special. I remember this mix being on repeat when you uploaded it, so many great artists, Nick Cave & Warren Ellis (I think Hell and High Water was my favourite OST of 2017- perhaps even my favourite film of the year also), Kenneth Gibson, Frahm. A genuine pleasure to hear it all again this afternoon. x
Thanks for listening and commenting my friend! Cheers!
Absolutely incredible. I’d never heard of Kenneth James Gibson before hearing him on this. I’m an instant fan and am going to try to track some physical copies of his work down now.
So glad you liked the mix and discovered something new! Cheers!

I'm glad you liked it Christine. Thanks for listening!
Beautiful, as usual! You feed so well the lovely melancholy inside my heart.
"Lovely Melancholy" sounds like a great title for a mix. I've written that down in my little notebook of mix ideas. Thanks! And thanks for listening. Cheers!
Amazing music always coming out of the island, unreal...thanks!
You are so right! Such amazing music coming from an island with a relatively small population. Incredible! Thanks for listening!
Love this track
Thanks!
