we nearly didn't do Sunrise Session this year. as parents will know, it can be hard to plan things when a little baby arrives. but we made the decision to open our family bubble to solstice celebrations and a new, intimate kind of Sunrise Session. thank you for coming with us along the way.

collaboration means a lot to me. it’s how i’ve made some of my favourite music. and how i’ve evolved as an artist (and human!) Like Gravity is our new short film about the collaboration that happens at the heart of Opia Community watch now: youtu.be/pZCpwnk51Nw?...

A new short film about the art of collaboration. Like Gravity is out now. In the autumn of 2025, Maximilian König and Jonas Meyer came into the OPIA world to start a conversation about creative collaboration. Like Gravity is the result. Watch now: youtu.be/pZCpwnk51Nw

2025 was also the year of the first release from my new project, SAGES, with the wonderful Loreen. Finally sharing something that has meant so much to both of us, and had been somewhat secretly working on for a long time.

Another highlight of 2025 was touring with my band Kiasmos from Europe over to Japan and Australia, which is always a great time. We played amazing venues, met awesome people, saw incredible nature, ate the best food, all in all a fantastic time! A big thank you to everyone who came out!

olafurarnalds.bsky.social @olafurarnalds.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

As the end of the year is fast approaching, I wanted to look back at some highlights. Starting with A Dawning, the record by Talos and myself, which was released in July.

I’m happy to say a few choice pieces of new merch made it to the store just in time for the holidays. Glencairn style whisky glasses engraved with the two birds. This is inspired by a gift my agent once gave all the crew at the end of one of our tours! Limited to 50 pieces this time.

olafurarnalds.bsky.social @olafurarnalds.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

A year ago we were shooting this crazy piece of art… SAGES. Been thinking about how much I loved making this film with my dear friend Loreen, our incredible director Þóra Hilmars and crew.

Connected my grand to the Nonlinear Labs C15 via my MIDI sensor bar that we had made for the re:member tour. Little expression pedal by the piano controlling the intensity of the synth layer and you've got hours of fun wholesome ambient family time 😳

I played some records at Derrick Gee’s house!  Been a fan of Derrick Gee for a while and can honestly say he has introduced me to a lot of great music. So I was thrilled to receive an invitation to be a guest on his Solid Air show while I was in Australia on tour with Kiasmos.

“Don’t let that light outrun us yet, it feels like this war is our dawning” The title track on A Dawning and some of my favourite lyrics Eoin ever wrote. The writing process was silent, unspoken, never planned.. Weaving layers of meaning that took me a while to get to the core of.

olafurarnalds.bsky.social @olafurarnalds.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

Ahead of the release of A Dawning we planned a series of pre-listening events. Some with me attending, others only attended by many of you dear people. These precious moments of sharing time together, in way or another, have been so very inspiring. Thanks everyone, from the bottom of my heart.

“When you feel butterflies in your stomach, that’s when you should speak. Because it means you have something important to say.” I had a lovely time speaking with The Blank Mag about 'A Dawning' and the process of making it. You can read all about it below.
