Their album was a big success in Europe and a few months later I got a phone call from a label asking 'would you be interested in making a full album with compositions like this?' I hadn't really considered continuing writing music like this, but said yes." Eulogy For Evolution and Variations of Static (2007–2008)
A few months later they contacted me asked if I would write some intros and outros for their new album, but only with the piano/strings elements – So I wrote my first classical pieces. Being a huge fan, I gave them a demo with some very overly dramatic prog-rock songs I had been making at home – it was not so classic like this but had some badly computerized strings and piano in it. On his Facebook page, he described how he got to know them: "I was playing drums in a hardcore band and we were supporting the German metal band Heaven Shall Burn on their Icelandic tour. In 2004, Ólafur composed and recorded the intro and two outros for tracks on the album Antigone by German metal band Heaven Shall Burn. Ólafur's grandmother introduced him to the music of Frédéric Chopin from an early age. 1.8 The Chopin Project and further projects (2015).1.7 For Now I Am Winter and further scores (2013–2014).1.6 Another Happy Day, Two Songs For Dance.1.5 Second studio album and Living Room Songs (2010–2011).1.3 Eulogy For Evolution and Variations of Static (2007–2008).
