We just lost Jóhann Jóhannsson, one of the best composers in the world. Died just as he was getting started. Throw on IBM 1401 all day, The Sun's Gone Dim is like he wrote his own requiem. This is devastating. https://t.co/6b2nr9WcmJ

Writer/Producer of Chernobyl, Craig Mazin:
Heartbroken. @JohannJohannss had come aboard to score Chernobyl, and that meant the world to me. He was brilliant, and I miss the music we will never get to hear for so many movies and shows and everything else he would have dreamed.
A genius, gone too soon.
