Gjöfult samstarf Skúla Sverrissonar og Ólafar Arnalds spannar tvo áratugi og hefur getið af sér fjölda hljómplatna undir nöfnum þeirra beggja. Skúli og Ólöf bjóða hlustendum í Mengi upp á yndæla kvöldstund þar sem þau flytja nýtt efni auk þess að leika eldri lög sem þau eiga í fórum sínum.
The fruitful collaboration of Skúli Sverrisson and Ólöf Arnalds started in the 2000s when they worked together on the renowned Sería record by Skúli. Since then they have created many records together under both names. Skúli and Ólöf will offer the listeners in Mengi a evening of new music along with some classics from their repertoire.
Ólöf Arnalds is an Icelandic composer and multi-instrumentalist. Her most distinctive asset is, nonetheless, her voice of instantly captivating, spring water chasteness possessed of a magical, otherworldly quality that is simultaneously innocent yet ancient (“somewhere between a child and an old woman” according to no less an authority than Björk). Her work has been called "stunning" by SPIN, "bewitching" by Rolling Stone, "remarkable" by the NME, "ethereal" by Vanity Fair "otherworldly" by The New York Times, and "impossibly lovely" by Paste.
Skúli Sverrisson has built a unique career as a composer, producer and improviser with a broad spectrum of artists. As an instrumentalist he has worked with Wadada Leo Smith, Arto Lindsay, Blonde Redhead and Allan Holdsworth to name a few. Skúli was a close collaborator of Laurie Anderson for over a decade. Skúli has composed music for Víkingur Ólafsson, Icelandic Symphony Orchestra and Erna Ómarsdóttir. Skúli is known for his duo work with Ólöf Arnalds, Bára Gísladóttir and Bill Frisell. In the world of film Skúli has contributed to the scores of Hildur Guðnadóttir, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Ryuichi Sakamoto.
