About this listen

Ólafur Arnalds is the renowned Icelandic composer behind works including his 2010 album ...And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness, and

2018's Re:member, as well as the scores for award-winning shows such as Broadchurch (2015) and Defending Jacob (2020).


His latest work, A Dawning, is a collaboration with the late Irish artist Eoin French, known to many as Talos, who died before they could finish the record together.


Arnalds completed it with help from friends, family and loved ones, intending it to serve as testament to his friend and collaborator's talent and unwavering spirit.
