Composer Jóhann Jóhannsson dies

The film and avant-garde musical communities are mourning Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, who was found dead Friday at age 48. The Oscar-nominated composer, who helped score “The Theory of Everything” and “Arrival,” was found dead in his Berlin apartment, his manager Tim Husom confirmed. Police are investigating his cause of death, which is currently unknown, Rosalie Voss of Redbird Music Management told the Associated Press. An electronic musician who began film composing in 2000, Jóhannsson became known for creating unique soundscapes by combining classical and experimental elements. With 2014’s “The Theory of Everything,” which earned him a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar nomination, Jóhannsson broke into an elite group of composers. He received another Oscar nomination for 2015’s “Sicario” and a Golden Globe nomination for 2016’s “Arrival.”
