The music of 3055 is expressed as follows:
What transcends time and space in Iceland is the gloomy sky, the snow-capped mountains that never melt, and the huge whale bones enjoying the loneliness on the empty ice field. The sunlight does not melt even half of the ice and snow. Only the translucent light scatters into colorful lights, making the entire field of vision full of hope.
It is when you listen to Olafur's music with this feeling that you can feel in the gloomy melody what he wants to achieve, which is close to the emotional joy. It is positive, and he has the upward spirit in his heart. desire.
3055 refers to the image that I imagined was taken in the entire album at 30 minutes and 55 seconds. When I divided the album into tracks, this image appeared in track 6, which is why track 6 was It's called 3055 for a reason.
Olafur is a musician who has been constantly experimenting, from personal musical performance to collaboration with several musicians in recent years, and now he wants to achieve greater breakthroughs in technology. He has been in constant exploration for ten years, which reminds me of Shostakovich, a neoclassical musician who pursued breakthroughs in his personal style.
The composer of "3055" is Olafur Arnalds, who is from Iceland. Olafur was born in 1986 and lives in Mosfellsber, a small town a few kilometers outside Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. He was once obsessed with composing symphonic movements, and most of the pure music he wrote was tainted with an ethereal and ethereal temperament.
Subsequently, Arnalds began to explore the fusion of classical and pop music, combining chamber strings, piano and loose electronic music. His motivation is almost clear: classical music is almost inaccessible to those who have never studied music in their lives. He wanted to use my classical roots to reach people who had never tried this type of music and to reach people's hearts.
