The transformation of Olafur Arnald's musical output from subtle, tranquil neo-classical through to ambient techno-led club music feels remarkably natural. Kiasmos have been around for a fair while but it's only recently that Arnalds, alongside Janus Rasmussen of synth-pop band Bloodgroup, have chosen to concentrate their artistic endeavours on this admirably confident project. It has led to the release of their highly-acclaimed debut self-titled record - a piece of work so sonically rich in ambient textures and pulsating techno rhythms that it stands on its own as one of 2014's truly unique releases.
We were lucky enough to be involved in the duo's album launch at Village Underground - a predictably sold-out affair hosted by Erased Tapes and Superstition. Check out our photo gallery below - all photos credit Nathan Greenwood:
