'Flight From The City' from Orphée

Jóhann Jóhannsson

Jóhann Jóhannsson presents “Flight from the City” from his highly anticipated new studio album. Orphée traces a path from darkness into light, inspired by the Orpheus myth. A story about death and rebirth, the elusive nature of creation and art and the ephemeral nature of memory. It's an album about change, love and art – a reflection of our relationships, as is the film Flight from the City directed and produced by Clare Langan.

Jóhann Jóhannsson (1969–2018) was a highly influential Icelandic composer that fused classical and electronic music, and worked across film, television, theatre and dance. Among his most revered film scores are Denis Villeneuve’s “Prisoners”, “Sicario”, and “Arrival”, and James Marsh’s “The Theory of Everything”. Starting out as an indie rock guitarist, Jóhannsson became a driving force of the neoclassical movement in the 2000s. He died in his adopted hometown of Berlin at age 48.
