Beautiful FatCat / 130701 debut for Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson and his score to Bill Morrison’s new film.

Jóhann is widely known as one of the modern classical / post-classical genre’s flagship composers, helping to define the genre rather than being limited by it.

This record is the soundtrack to a found-footage documentary created by award-winning, acclaimed director Bill Morrison (‘Decasia’ etc.). The film will be released worldwide by the BFI in June 2011.

Jóhann’s score was performed live by a 16-piece brass ensemble in Durham Cathedral, the setting for the film’s climax and many historic colliery galas – a first for the predominantly string / piano-based 130701 imprint.

This album will appeal to fans of Max Richter, Peter Broderick, Hauschka, Sylvain Chauveau, Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi, Steve Reich.
