Ólafur Arnalds
Ólafur Arnalds was born in 1987 and he is a multi-instrumentalist and producer from Iceland. 
I first heard the music of his whilst I was researching into a technique that created an effect based upon the music being played. I was hoping to use the effect whenever I uploaded a song to Youtube so that it would have an interesting Video, rather than just the lyrics or a static image.
His music is very sombre and actually feels quite sad, however the relaxation it offers is excellent. If you are a fan of Max Richter, then you will notice quite a few similarities. They both use the piano and Violin to full effect, creating pieces of music that stretch the soul and linger on your emotions.
This was the Video I 1st heard :
