Director Biography

Jóhann Jóhannsson was born on September 19, 1969 in Reykjavík, Iceland. Jóhann Jóhannsson, Icelandic electronic musician and Oscar-nominated film composer of The Theory of Everything, Sicario and Arrival, has died at the age of 48. Jóhannsson’s gravitation towards the esoteric never left him, though. As a composer, he was as comfortable with dark, gargling electronics as he was traditional orchestration. He blended score and sound design with potency, shifting from intense mood-making to total silence with equal ferocity (he pulled his own score from Darren Aronofsky’s Mother! because he felt it more powerful without music).
