RIP: Jóhann Jóhannsson

I am very sad to hear that Icelandic Composer Jóhann Jóhannsson has died, aged 48.¹

He is perhaps best known for his work with Denis Villeneuve, writing the music for Prisoners, Sicario and Arrival.

I heard his first record Englabörn in the early 2000s and have been hooked to his strange, beautiful music ever since. The modern classical world has lost a great artist today.
