Jóhann Jóhannsson
Jóhann Jóhannsson (1969–2018) was a highly influential Icelandic composer that fused classical and electronic music, and worked across film, television, theatre and dance. Among his most revered film scores are Denis Villeneuve’s “Prisoners”, “Sicario”, and “Arrival”, and James Marsh’s “The Theory of Everything”. Starting out as an indie rock guitarist, Jóhannsson became a driving force of the neoclassical movement in the 2000s. He died in his adopted hometown of Berlin at age 48.
