Jóhann Jóhannsson - Discography '2002-2016

Tracks list

	BIO
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. The record was
re-released in 2007 by 4AD, by which time its reputation had grown as an
influential recording in the burgeoning field that has been variously called
post-classsical or neo-classical. 

Englabörn was written for string quartet, percussion and electronics, and
Jóhann’s second album, Virthulegu Forsetar (2004), for brass ensemble, drones
and percussion, whilst his third album and his first for 4AD, IBM 1401 - A
User's Manual (2006), was his most ambitiously orchestrated composition to date
involving a 60 piece string orchestra and incorporating electronics and original
reel-to-reel recordings of music made on a 1960´s IBM 1401 mainframe computer.
Jóhann’s most recent album, Fordlandia, was released in November 2008 also on
4AD. Another orchestral album combining complex narrative themes with a sound
that expands upon his earlier work while breaking new ground, Fordlandia
combines a darkly romantic minimalism and baroque counterpoint with Krautrock,
post-rock, glitch electronics and melodies inspired by North European folk
music. 

Although mostly instrumental, Johann´s work often involves complex narratives,
which often deal with man´s relationship with the world of machines and
decaying and obsolete technology.

Johann’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 disciplines. 

Johann is also an award-winning film composer with 8 international feature film
credits to his name. He is a prolific collaborator, having worked and performed
with artists such as Marc Almond, Barry Adamson, Pan Sonic, The Hafler Trio,
Jaki Liebezeit, Laetitia Sadier, David Tibet, Baby Dee, Larsen and many more.
Jóhann is also an accomplished composer for contemporary dance and theater. His
acclaimed collaborations with the internationally renowned choreographer and
dancer Erna Omarsdottir, “IBM 1401, a user’s manual” (2002), and
“Mysteries of Love” (2005), have been performed widely across Europe.

Johann´s live band usually consists of 6 people and almost always includes
long-time collaborator Matthias Hemstock (percussion, electronics). Some of the
fine people who have played with the band include Ivo Stankov (violin), James
Underwood (violin), Charlotte Rook (cello), Emma Owens (viola), Una
Sveinbjarnardóttir (violin), Greta Guðnadóttir (violin), Guðmundur
Kristmundsson (viola), Hrafnkell Egilsson (cello) and Hildur Guðndadóttir
(cello) to name a few.

Johann´s concerts are usually accompanied by visuals created by Magnús
Helgason.
