ABOUT OUR PARTNER: BANG & OLUFSEN

We were lucky to be supported by the audio brand Bang & Olufsen on this show: https://on.beo.com/rlmrvL
They lent us the Beoplay H95 headphones, which Derek and Ólafur used during their interview alongside the A9 speaker behind them (with its iconic shape!).
The Beoplay EX earbuds were offered to Ólafur in the Mystery box.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: ÓLAFUR ARNALDS

Icelandic composer, multiinstrumentalist, and producer Ólafur Arnalds explores the crossover from classical to pop by mixing chamber strings and piano with discreet electronics. In addition to forming the experimental techno duo Kiasmos with Janus Rasmussen, Arnalds has produced a magistral repertoire of spinetingling neoclassical works and film scores since the late 2000s.

ABOUT THE LOCATION: HAFURSEY, ICELAND

Hafursey is a palagonite mountain located on the north side of Mýrdalssandur and near the Katla volcano in Iceland. The lonely Inselberg is surrounded by vast valleys of volcanic sand, sanders, glaciers, and waterfalls that render one of the most special, almost lunar sceneries in the world.
