Jónsi & Alex Somers - ‘Riceboy Sleeps’ + 'All Animals’ live Recorded live at Sydney Opera House with Sydney International Orchestra & Choir
The 10th anniversary concert of the landmark ambient album from Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi and film composer Alex Somers, for the first time in a unique spatial audio mix, designed for headphone listening, and exclusive to the Isolation Room. Recorded at Vivid Festival’s world premiere, June 11, 2019.
Riceboy Sleeps at Sydney Opera House represents the first time the album was performed in its entirety with orchestra and choir, in a performance to mark the release’s tenth anniversary. Orchestral arrangements were by David Handler, and featured many non-traditional sound sources, including whirly tubes, bags of marbles and broken glass. An additional programme of material from Jónsi & Alex’s only other release, All Animals, was also performed with arrangements by London Contemporary Orchestra’s Robert Ames, who conducted the orchestra and choir.
Programme (90 mins):
All Animals:
Chapter One
Chapter Two
Chapter Three
Riceboy Sleeps:
Happiness
Atlas Song
Indian Summer
Stokkseyri
Boy 1904

A response to the coronavirus crisis from longtime Sigur Rós co-manager John Best and sound designer David Sheppard, Isolation Room is a community space for artists around the world to share live or pre-recorded work from quarantine, all mixed in binaural audio for maximum listening experience. Isolation Room is an extension of John and David’s work together presenting surround installation work, as LOSS / GAIN, with the intention of presenting state-of-the-art high-end audio experiences to people locally, reducing the impact of artist and audience travel.

Close your eyes and embark on a journey of the senses. Feel peace. Grab a glass of wine, spread your wings and fly. Jonsi is an angel on earth!
My partner sadly passed away 8 years ago, but he used to bring me to our bedroom, wrapped me in blankets, closed the curtains and put me in bed with this music/album on to calm me down after I've had suffered a panic attack or mental breakdown. He would cuddle up to me and gently rocked me from side to side to the music together until I calmed down and then a little longer. He knew exactly when I needed this and I really appreciated every time he did this and I miss it so. Listening to Riceboy Sleeps brings me back to those memories and It makes me feel so sad, but so thankful at the same time for having been able to love him and spend time with him and having had his love like this for this little time in my life. I loved him so much. So thank you, Jónsi & Alex. For being able to capture this and keeping that particularlar memory alive for me.
beautiful story...🥹🥹....saludos desde argentina!☺️☺️☺️
@@hernanrodriguez6826 Thank you, greetings to you too! I love Aphex Twin :)
@@HirikiW So you like good music!! here in Latin America people listen to a lot of reggaeton unfortunately and I don't know anyone who shares my musical tastes,...there is so much beautiful music in the world waiting to be heard...a huge hug!!🤗🤗
@@hernanrodriguez6826 You're absolutely right! You're not alone In your good taste in music :) it binds us together from afar. Big hug to you too
@@HirikiW Thank you for your words, they mean a lot to me... I am going through some very turbulent times... I have generalized anxiety and chronic depression, this is something that is hard to deal with day to day... fortunately my taste in movies, music and video games help me a lot to cope with everything,...plus I almost have no friends.....my best friend died in 2006....he was someone from another planet....a great human being and their friendship was the greatest gift I had... the music of Sigur Ros, for example, makes me reflect on what I have experienced and what I experience daily and so on several other artists, but they and Jonsi as a soloist changed my life... thank you for reading all this!!🥹🥹🥹
38:45 makes me so happy to be alive.
I wish I knew someone who enjoyed this as much as me
I've probably been listening to this album weekly since 2009. I'm overwhelmed watching this because I now know how many people appreciate it
This has been my bedtime music every night since COVID
I have been listening to Sigur Ros and this music since 8 years now ... and I am sure there are many many other people like you and I.... This is just epitome of music .. there has been months long phases where I have had this non-stop on loop .. soundtrack of life!
53:08 When that note falls, transcendence begins.
🎶🎵if in search of heaven🧚🏾♀️
start here 🎵🎶
When you listen to this, there is no reason for aggression no more. PEACE. Thank you for this magic you created

Met Jónsi in person in a burger shop in San Francisco back in October last year, the same night he was going to play this concert. I noticed him and he came over to speak, I told him how much Riceboy Sleeps means to me and he smiled.
thanks for the track listings.
i also bumped into jonsi once - went to iceland about 10 years ago to hear sigur ros perform at home. day before the concert i saw jonsi walking his pet beagle down one of the main streets in reykjavik. i called his name and he turned around and waited for me to catch up. just as sweet and calm of a presence as you would expect.
RyanZakMusic Exactly! Incredibly humble guy. BTW I checked out your page, you have some really beautiful tracks. Your talented man, keep doing what you do.
@@GraceKBaller15 Hey thanks alot! All the best to you
01 november in Amsterdam, Sigur Ros. I can't wait...
Thank you!
I love that there are no adverts breaking up this wonderful concert. Thank you!
I love how the violinist cracks a smile at 32:21 during the song Happiness. It really caught my attention.
Thank you for tagging this moment so I can go back to it again and again and make my heart melt
@@meghanalexander1994 You're welcome :)
If I were him I’d be grinning ear to ear, I’d give anything to have been in this orchestra
One of the few albums i can surely say is in my Top albums of all time. Really means a lot. Just amazing. Thanks to everyone involved:)
Tears. Relief. Soulfood. Warmth. Love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you to everyone that help make this magical performance. Absolutely spellbinding! ✨
The most important concert I have probably ever listened to, and it was from my couch. To be able to channel what they did through the screen is magic. They are of the highest level of soul healers.
Makes me cry like a baby...
‘Riceboy Sleeps’ is a very important piece of musical history...everyone needs to listen and hear it...it can transform you and transcend you...Thank you, IR!
38:41 is, in my opinion, one of the best bar of music ever written
Agreed. ❤
I also agree
100% Agreed!
Jonsi is a genius
I always come back to this... So perfect.
Me, too.
Winter is here 06.06.2010?)
Norbert (Noah Fluida) passed away with age 22 three years later - but with your music he is alive again in my head, in front of my "Geistigem Auge" and I even can hear his voice.
they made the most beautiful art together. Riceboy sleeps was like a revelation to fans of jonsi through sigur ros. The happiness and peace is palpable on every note, each atom of my body feels it
the most beautiful music known to the human race - it hits you right in the heart and sends shudders to your soul! truly incredible and a gift to Humanity.. thank you!
Music wins. #everything will be fine
How Heaven sounds like ♥️
How Heaven sounds like 2
All I can say is: THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR THIS UPLOAD
Between minute 39 and 42 for sure one of the most epic pieces of music ever created
Most beautiful 1 hour and 28 minutes of my life, best 1 hour and 28 minutes on UA-cam and 100% sure one of the most amazing things I`ve ever gonna hear.
This makes so much calming in the hart, so much love and so many chills. Unbelievable, just wow!
Thank you to Jonsi, Alex Somers + all of the artists that played on this show, it really means a lot. Earlier i was addicted to the Walt DIsney Concert Hall live version of Sigur Ros with LA Phillharmonic, which i'm gonna say, i always will be but this is definitely added to my list of 'those' rare concerts. THANKS A TON. Much Love.
This Kind of music reflects how society should feel Like and what WE should strive for with No compromise
Very happy I was able to attend the performance at the Barbican in London.
Chills run through my body. An extraordinary voice that transports us far away, a motionless journey...
I wrote on my FB page it was comparable to listening to Rhapsody in Blue Sep 12, 1924 but instead of New York's Aeolian Concert Hall, it is the world wide web!
I was lucky enough to see this live. Amazing night.
Daniell in the Sea is my fav 😍 i love so much
Indian summer makes me cry a lot, but I'm happy :)
Oh, it's so true. **reply to myself one year later :)
I've been listening to this album weekly since 2009. Every piece makes me cry in a good way
The first 4 tracks for me are so emotional for me, but Indian Summer is the one that never fails to make me feel like crying
The Ending of the Song is so Technical!? 😃
Seems like it’s difficult to do instead…
What an absolutely phenomenal piece of music -- perfect for a cold, rainy spring day here in Norway. Many thanks from a fellow musician
Perfect for everything.
Sometimes...often drowning of late. The human spirit soars again thru the magic of sound and voice as one. Thank you!
This is one of those UA-cam vids I will watch for life. THANK YOU for releasing the full concert! I travelled to London, Montreal and Boston shows and would gladly pay the price of admission for a download.
Thank you so much for sharing and being with us, anytime, anywhere... everytime and everywhere.... all my love to you (IsolationRoom team, and specially my beloved Jonsi) 💐🖤💐
I like this version of All Animals even better than the studio version.
Riceboy Sleeps is a bit different than the original but it's simply unbelievable how beautiful it sounds and how they were even able to translate it so well... Indian Summer is transcendental in all its ways to say the least. I'm so thankful to have it be a part of me.
Have you ever herd the sound the stars make 🌟
close your eyes ,
and let it play
As the tears roll down
youll get lost
But find your way
As always when I listen to Jonsi & Alex or Sigur Ros, I think that if Aurora borealis could emit some sounds it would look like one of their songs
Well said.
Can't stop loving this.
This is just what my soul needed... thank you for posting this wonderful concert!!
A month into sheltering in place, this was much needed musical therapy for emotions I couldn't articulate in light of this pandemic. Thank you for this offering.
Thank you so much for the smile. This really means a lot. 🙏💕
I felt like i was on the movie midsommar :)
Surely, this is the music of Heaven.
saw them play in London and it was pure magic. nothing will ever come close to it
Out of this universe 🙏🙏
No. That's impossible to have such a beautiful voice. That's impossible to create such a beautiful music. I just... do I really deserve listening to this?
That's fascinating...
Ого, тут есть русские?)
Daníel In The Sea я тоже очень удивляюсь, когда вижу русскоговорящих в комментах под видео Сигур Роус.)
Неимоверно крутая группа. Жаль что у нас их просто не понимают...
@@Mr.Cherry_McPeterson у нас их любят, но такие люди особо в ютубе не светятся)
Жаль, что сейчас время другое и мейнстрим вместе с этим, эх.
Так и не побывал ни на одном концерте.
Daníel In The Sea а я жалею, что узнал о них только после своей поездки в Исландию... Можешь написать мне? kita.polyarush@gmail.com
@@Mr.Cherry_McPeterson написал)
I do not exaggerate when I say, this is the best concert I ever watched. Tears almost running whenever I listen to that epic music. It is touching and gives meaning to life. Sounds absurd, but I have never ever experienced something like this.
Does anyone know whether there is a chance that they will do that concert again somewhen from 2023? No matter where, I would go!
32:20 His smile is so gentle :) .....and gives me a little peace of mind.
(I found the same comment below and somehow feel glad.)
Thank you so much for releasing this concert!!! Cheers, from Newfoundland, Canada
I've spent many hours listening to this record on the shores of Gros Morne. Cheers!
Newfoundland! (sorry I get excited whenever I hear about it as it reminds me of 'Come From Away' the musical - truly amazing). Do you know it?
Erin Snape yes, I know about the play; however, I have not seen it yet. Hopefully one day I’ll have the chance to watch it.
Thanks to upload. Sigur ros you have a eternal fan here in brazil. My name is Dione and i decided to make it a tatoo in my body, writed Sigur Ros, just one tatoo, i love you.
Então somos dois grandes fãs 😉
Perfect
I’m in awe
Music sublime which guides us between ethereal realms, between modes of being, through diversity of spirit and thought.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of music, what a wonderful treat on this Easter. I saw this concert here in Colorado at the Paramount in Denver. The only concert i went to last year, i remember i was vacillating on going cause i had surgery i was saving for in January, but, i'm so glad i went. Watching - listing to this concert again, albeit a different but similar. This brings tears to this girls eyes because this really sings to my heart and rekindles memory of that incredible evening. I talked with a foreigner about Sigur Ros and Jonsi, and the impact they've had on our lives, and part way through i started crying and he asked are you okay, and i said yes, its just so beautiful. Thanks for sharing this, brings allot of joy to me today, thank you.
I was at that concert as well and it was pure magic. I think it was so easy to get lost in the music. There was a 20 minute span where I was just so present, just such a special moment.
I captured an audience recording of that show and I'm working on editing it - I've had it sitting on my hard drive for over a year :) I'd love to share, when it's done!
They have to be from another planet who showed up to teach us about real music
@@natesundermeier9315 >9
Thank you for this quiet and peaceful music
I saw this show in Brooklyn. Incredibly beautiful. My favorite album of all time.
This live concert/orchestra has changed my life.
❤❤❤❤
bliss
I do not believe there is something like heaven - but still I hope I am wrong. And if there is heaven, I have today got a glimpse of it. Between min. 35 and min. 41 of that piece. Words cannot describe the goose bumps I get when I watch and listen to that. Thank you guys. A masterpiece. I am simply running out of words.
Yes i agree. It feels like i'm in heaven listening to this masterpiece.
Atlas Song ❤
Listened to you while we were in Iceland! So peaceful and beautiful! Everytime I listen to you guys bring me back to the most beautiful country in the world, Iceland.
please, please, please make this available for download, i'd definitely buy this or if nice enough to share, i'd be sincerely grateful, cause i'll keep listening and playing this for a long time, thank you.
God sent you
This is so creative and beautiful. Sounds bad to admit but I look forward to having my operation so when I get to come home I can watch this again for the 5th time.
Wow! This is a very intense piece of music. I know the original, but as a live performance, I am blown away!
So this is why the other video got taken down, glad to have found it :)
A staggering concert and a wonderous piece of music
thanks for this gift helen.
I hope they do this again, beccause fuck me this has got to be the best orchestral gig you could ever go to
I doubt it. I asked Robert a while ago and he said he wasn’t sure if it’ll happen again which is a shame because I share your sentiment. I love Alex and Jonsi so much.
@@97Mizzo such a shame learning all of that and barely doing that many gigs
Incredible! Love it!
oh my. so beautiful
Amazingly beautiful!!!
PS these acoustic versions should be made available on vynil and CD format just a thought :-)
Genius!!!

Just stumbled here by Chance somehow maybe it was magic :-) this is so ironic I attended the concert in Montreal last fall pop rocks and all a magical and unforgettable evening and the last concert I attended before this isolation period. thanks for making this available I got mixed feeling joy because these are really beautifull pieces of music and sad because there is nothing that can replace the vibe and energy of the concert hall and who knows when the next time that will be Thanks again !
