Icelandic soundtrack composer and ambient musician Jóhann Jóhannsson died yesterday. The cause of death is undisclosed for now. He was only 48 years old.
This name might not ring a bell immediately, but his movie scores in the last couple of years are among the most acclaimed. The Theory of Everything broke him wide, but his work for Denis Villeneuve might become the most iconic. For him, he did Prisoners, Sicario and - my favorite - Arrival.
He also had non-movie related works. Some of you might remember how I added his Orphée to the Moderately Acclaimed Albums of 2016 poll. I've also seen him perform that album live, which I enjoyed a lot.
