Kiasmos

Say it: kee-AZ-moss
Heard on 1 episode of EKHO Sonic Chill

Kiasmos. Faroese-Icelandic duo: Ólafur Arnalds, the Icelandic composer known for strings-and-piano minimalism, and Janus Rasmussen of the Faroese bands Bloodgroup and Byrta. They met when Arnalds was working as a sound engineer for Rasmussen's band Bloodgroup. Melodic minimal techno with classical bones. 'Thrown' first appeared in 2012 on a split 12-inch with Rival Consoles on Erased Tapes, then on the 2014 self-titled debut album. It started as a part-time side project between two friends from neighbouring islands and turned into a genuinely world-scale live act. Their second album, II, followed on Erased Tapes in 2024.
