Ólafur Arnalds We Contain Multitudes (from home)Watch at the source

We Contain Multitudes was written at a friend's cabin, late at night, on a tiny electric keyboard. At the time I had spent so much time away from what I had considered home, almost setting up a separate life on the other side of the planet. My mind was going through a process of learning to live in two vastly different cultures, of recognising that within one body there are multitudes of different and often contradictory facets of personality.

Here I perform it live from my home in Reykjavík.

My new album, some kind of peace, is coming out on November 6th.
