Kjartan Sveinsson releases his original score to Rúnar Rúnarsson's Oscar-nominated short The Last Farm. The film shows the tell of an aging farmer doing his daily chores as they prepare for the coming winter and an upcoming move to a retirement home. However, there is a strange and mysterious urgency to these last tasks, which the viewer is left wondering the purpose of. Kjartan Sveinsson is a composer, musician and performer. He first came to prominence as a member of Sigur Rós, the Icelandic band – sometimes characterized as ‘post-rock’ – of which he was a member from 1997 to 2012, releasing five studio albums, a film and a host of side projects, selling several million records around the world in the process. Sveinsson played keyboards and guitar in Sigur Rós, as well as being responsible for the band’s frequent arrangements for strings, brass, choir and orchestra. Since leaving Sigur Rós, Sveinsson has broadened his horizons to score movies and expansive collaborations with foremost Icelandic performance artist Ragnar Kjartansson, while also continuing to write his own new orchestral and choral works. With Kjartansson he has been closely involved in the creation of many new works that have been exhibited in galleries and major institutions internationally.
