Dyad 1909

2009 has already proved quite a year for Iceland’s neo-classical export Ólafur Arnalds. Still high on the success of his 7-song series ‘Found Songs’ – recording a song a day for 7 days and instantly making each track available via Twitter; Ólafur was approached by the world renowned choreographer Wayne McGregor to create a 30-minute score for his ambitious new work ‘Dyad 1909’. The dance piece, inspired and created ‘In The Spirit of Diaghilev’ premiered at the Sadler’s Wells theatre this October and became an unpredictable and much talked about 5-nights of live music, dance and visuals.
