Fort Atlantic’s song “Let Your Heart Hold Fast” was featured in the last minutes of a season 8 episode of “How I Met Your Mother”. “Up From The Ground” got airplay during the show “The big C”.

And since people on YouTube commented with words like “and this awesome scene, where it was played *-* one of the best moments of himym ♥_♥” [source] it’s time for some further information on the band. Founded in 2010 by Jon Black Fort Atlantic consists of two members. Drummer Josh Cannon is the second. To this date we have one album by the band. It’s self-titled and was released in 2012.

Here are the two songs from the TV-shows.

Born in Iceland you have two chances: Staying there and waiting that something happens to you or starting out. Ólafur Arnalds chose latter. Now 26 years old, he came from playing some punk music with friends to the epic songs he now composes. his grandmother gave him a record of classic music when he was a child. Maybe that explains his musical style.

Classic indie electronic, maybe? Very moody, very atmospheric and cinematic. Judge for yourself. There are nine albums, made in six years, to chose from… Plus some soundtracks for various movies – like for Sam Levinson’s “Another Happy Day” (2012).

Ólafur Arnalds is currently touring Europe with a string ensemble, a piano and some electronic devices. All information about tickets and tourdates via his official website – link below…

Anyes Galleani “is an Italian-born, Los Angeles-based, visual artist, who uses photomontage and collage to create unique mixed media art.” That’s what she says about herself.”

We can add that her paintings are truly beautiful and colorful. Women-portraits as well as city-portraits – from her home-town Los Angeles and New York City. Botanicals is another set of painting that, you might have guessed it, mostly consist of flowers.

Anyes Galleani who also did fashion shootings when she came to LA in the 1990s, is looking for “beauty and decay [that] complement each other, old and new merge to tell stories, nature and man-made objects blend in unforeseen ways. I create mixed media art using photomontage, collage and acrylics on wood panels. When I started making this type of art I was simply looking for a more organic and original way to display my images than conventional printing methods.” [source]

I was interviewed on LA Talk Radio today, it was fun! latalkradio.com/Players/Cspot.… For IPad, IPhone, you can download the "LATalkRadio" app
