"an intrepid musical enigma" and his work has been called "elegant, haunting and melancholic"

A dowiedziałem się o nim, gdyż jest od odpowiedzialny do bardzo dobrze się zapowiadającego i zbierającego świetne recenzje "Prisoners"

Czy też skoro to islandzki kompozytor to uważacie, że powinien zająć się łowieniem ryb i polowaniem na wieloryby niż komponowaniem muzyki?

Nawet fajne te kawałki od Wawrzyńca - zwłaszcza ten pierwszy.

Wawrzyniec, good job.

Jóhannsson and Villeneuve decided to try something radical for the soundtrack. “Denis wanted the music to be a poetic voice that worked in counterpoint to the action of the film,” Jóhannsson says. “Even though the film is a thriller, the music is lyrical and beautiful, in stark contrast to the intensity that the film depicts.” Jóhannsson composed the score watching an early cut of the film, reacting to the images on screen.

He scored the music for an orchestra with large string and woodwind sections and also featured the sounds of two little known instruments: The Cristal Baschet,an instrument similar to a glass harmonica, with huge metallic resonators; and the Ondes Martenot, an early electronic instrument similar to a Theremin, but with a softer sound. By blending those unfamiliar sounds with string instruments, Jóhannsson created music with a delicate, glassy surface. Despite its ambient sound, his tranquil music serves to heighten the tension of the film.

“My ideal is music where the electronic and the acoustic sounds blend seamlessly,” says Jóhannsson, who has scored more than a dozen movies. His approach to film music is informed by influences as diverse as Pergolesi, Wojciech Kilar, Steve Reich, Einstürzende Neubauten, Swans, Coil, Arvo Pärt, Ennio Morricone, Morton Feldman and Bernard Herrmann.
