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.
