According to his bio, his output focuses primarily on film where he explores the sonic boundaries between scoring and sound. Haraldur has scored numerous features and short films that have premiered at leading festivals around the world like Berlinale, Palm springs and Locarno film festival.
Today we have the pleasure to premiere a new track called “Eitt” which is he first single from INNI’s Luminant Series. Pre-order is avaialble here. The track shows the delicate flow of his music and the solemn attitude. It features Yair Glotman (Double Bass).
The artist explains: “The darkness of recent world events inspired the creation of the song. I felt that rather than embracing the gloom of isolation and loneliness, I tried to search for a feeling of blind optimism towards a new beginning. In these unprecedented times the song serves as a revelation of such a beginning, an opening theme to a new chapter where hopefully a better path to follow forward can be found.”
