Ólafur Arnalds - Árbakkinn (Piano Part) | Heikos Piano Cover

I played the piano part from Árbakkinn freely, it's not 100% identical to the sheet music. The sound for this recording is directly from the Yamaha USB output and it's very quiet, like most of my recordings. If you hear nothing, turn up the volume 😉
Árbakkinn is the first song from Ólafur's "Island Songs" film. It's a collaboration with the poet Einar Georg Einarsson who reads his poem while Ólafur is improvising on the piano. Oh, and there are some strings in the original 🥹
You can find the original music video here: • Ólafur Arnalds - Árbak...
I also highly recommend the complete Island Songs film:
• Ólafur Arnalds - Islan...
English translation of the poem (from the films subtitle):
The river in the lava:
In a blue dream
it lives alone
plays joyfully
on strings and rapids.
Teasingly splashes
a grey stone.
In depths and shallows,
it slows down
with polite grace
the river sings
always born again
and wonderful.
Its art is the one
that is the most beautiful.
Of ancient fire
its sounding board is made.
I hear the sound
in my heart.
I hear the sound
in my heart.
