Ólafur Arnalds announces Royal Albert Hall show with a "generative algorithm device"
Ólafur Arnalds will play his biggest UK show to date next May at London's Royal Albert Hall.
The BAFTA Award winning artist, composer, musician and producer promises a show that will present "past, current and brand new material in a new light" and will feature a uniquely wired ensemble of a string quartet, percussion and a "playground" of pianos and synthesisers. The centrepiece of the show on 14 May 2018 will be a generative algorithm device that Arnalds has designed to control two self-playing pianos - acting as one.
“I am truly excited and honoured to perform at the legendary Royal Albert Music Hall," says Arnalds. "This one-of-a-kind venue’s acoustic, design and wonderful history are truly special, and I couldn’t think of a better place to present a new chapter in my musical life than here!’
