About

'Orbit' is the debut album by composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Snorri Hallgrímsson. Recorded primarily at Ólafur Arnalds’s studio in Reykjavík, 'Orbit' sees Hallgrímsson expanding his classical background with elements from electronica, choral traditions, and film music. The result is a stunning blend of lush strings, distorted beats, intimate piano & the composer’s own sublime voice.

The album features strings performed by the Budapest Art Orchestra and engineering/mixing by Addi 800 (Björk, Sigur Ros).

The songs explore the difficulties of living in and moving between vastly different places: from Mexico’s sunny days to Iceland’s long winter nights and their emotional toll. Orbit is also about people met along the way, of friends and family whose absence is bittersweet.
