HANNES VALUR

ABOUT

Hannes Valur is an Icelandic composer and producer based in Álftanes, a small town just outside Reykjavík. Working from his countryside studio, he creates instrumental music with cinematic character.

For more than 15 years, Hannes Valur performed and recorded with rock, pop and punk bands, including Winter Leaves (a 2023 finalist in the song contest Sykurmolinn on Radio X) and πlot. He has since focused on instrumental and cinematic compositions, with a particular interest in music for film and television. His recent works, such as What Remains Within, Requiem Aeternam, Withered, Heyr, himna smiður, The Hour, and Beneath The Quiet, highlight his use of piano, electric guitar, ambient textures, and layered sound design to build calm, atmospheric pieces.

Entirely self-sufficient in his solo projects, Hannes Valur writes, records, produces, mixes, and masters his music - allowing him to shape every detail with precision.
