Gabriel Olafs possesses an exceptional talent for telling a stirring symphonic story through instrumental music. At just 19, the composer and pianist wowed viewers and a live audience on Icelandic TV during his first ever live performance.
Olafs is an expert in the art of tension, creating a lingering breath in between the gaps – something he observes about good movies. Absent Minded expresses those lost-in-thought moments, the daydreams, the imaginary worlds we create in our quietest hours. Called so, because people have always referred to Olafs as ‘absent minded’; “I like to imagine things and let my mind drift off."
The undoubtedly emotional pieces are somewhat surprising for an artist so young – yet the young artist flourishes most when encapsulating a certain sensitivity within his music that’s perhaps lost in adulthood.
“My album is very personal to me. It reflects my imagination and along with it my deepest emotions – but I'm hoping that when someone listens to it, they will start to imagine their own movies or stories, and interpret the melodies in their own way.”
