19th noviembre 2024
Wise Music Group is delighted to announce that Berlin-based Bosworth Music GmbH has signed a further publishing agreement with the globally acclaimed Icelandic composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Ólafur Arnalds for his entire back catalogue as well as new works. Arnalds began his relationship with Wise Music Group in 2020.
Arnalds is one of Iceland’s foremost musicians and composers. His work, both as a recording artist and film composer, have been met with high critical acclaim worldwide and earned him a BAFTA award for Best Original Music and nominations for both Grammy and Emmy Awards.
Ólafur Arnalds comments: “I am so thrilled to continue my already long relationship with Wise Music. Our collaborations already span multiple worlds and I look forward to expanding our universe even more.”
Michael Ohst, Managing Director of Bosworth GmbH says: “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Ólafur Arnalds, working closely on his new creative projects as well as his existing works. His unique talents for both music and visual art are sure to engage and resonate with audiences worldwide.”
Over the course of his career as a recording artist he has released five full-length albums along with dozens of EPs, collaborations, and various projects — including two films, “Island Songs” (2017) and “When We Are Born” (2021). Other projects include the Sunrise Session releases and his Ultimate Calm BBC Sounds podcast series and soundtracks.
His live shows have sold out many of the most prestigious live venues in the world, including London’s Royal Albert Hall, the Sydney Opera House, the Elbphilharmonie in Berlin, and San Francisco’s The Warfield. His album “some kind of peace” (2020), earned him two GRAMMY nominations, charted in the UK’s Top 40 and was named album of the year by NPR’s Bob Boilen.
Since 2009 Arnalds has been a part of the experimental techno project Kiasmos together with Janus Rasmussen. They have recently released the album “II”.
