Jóhann Jóhannsson´s stately, slow-building and hauntingly melodic music, which frequently combines electronics with classical orchestrations, has been quietly bewitching listeners since he released his first genre defining solo record Englabörn in 2002 on the well respected British label Touch. Although mostly instrumental, Jóhann´s work often involves complex narratives, which often deal with man´s relationship with the world of machines and decaying and obsolete technology. Jóhann’s many projects include the all-analog Apparat Organ Quartet and Kitchen Motors, the art organization/think tank/record label which specializes in instigating collaborations and art projects across diverse artforms. Jóhann is also an award-winning film composer with 8 international feature film credits to his name.
