KIASMOS DJ offers memories of wild and free minimal techno nights and 90s synthies as well as childhood bonfires on the countryside. It carries light beats as well as unexpected compositions, organic structures and sound experiments, involving various instruments or even clicking fingers and mechanical clattering. It´s cosy but sexy, vibrant but soothing at the same time. And if you insist, it even bears the always compelling Scandinavian bonus – that (true) cliché of music that sounds just like one of those fairy tale countrysides and its lovely/nerdy/brilliant inhabitants. KIASMOS was started in 2009 by Icelandic BAFTA-winning composer ÓLAFUR ARNALDS, known for his unique blend of minimal piano and string compositions with electronic sounds, and JANUS RASMUSSEN from the Faroe Islands, known as the mastermind of the electro-pop outfit Bloodgroup. Based in Reykjavík, Arnalds used to work as a sound engineer, often for Rasmussen’s other projects, where the two musicians discovered their common love for minimal, experimental music. They eventually became best friends, often hanging out in their studio, exploring electronic sounds. People were thrilled by their style, their live presence and the pleasure to watch them at work“ in their very own and special way.
