Jóhannsson’s manager, Tim Husom, remembers Jóhann and how the project came about: “My friend and client Jóhann Jóhannsson passed away on February 9, 2018. The last music he created before his death was the score to Mandy. We were working on it right up until the film was delivered to Sundance in early January, 2018. Back in August of 2016 we received a call from Daniel Noah at SpectreVision about this crazy new horror film they were starting that starred Nicolas Cage, Andrea Riseborough, Linus Roach, and directed by Panos Cosmatos. Jóhann had just finished his score for Denis Villeneuve’s film, Arrival, when the Mandy mood boards were sent over to us. They were unbelievably cool and scary. Our interest was hooked immediately. Jóhann’s first email response to me about the project was ‘Seriously, his (Panos) Beyond The Black Rainbow film is a masterpiece! I love it. And the way he uses music.’ To Jóhann, the idea of working on Mandy with Panos and SpectreVision was bringing some much needed balance to his score career and a perfect next step.” The film score was co-produced by Jóhannsson and Randall Dunn (produced Sunn O)))) and features Sunn O)))’s Stephen O’Malley on guitar. The album was assembled posthumously in March 2018 with the help of co-producers Pepijn Caudron (Kreng) and Yair Glotman. The film, directed by Panos Cosmatos (Beyond the Black Rainbow) and starring Nicolas Cage, is released by RLJ Entertainment. The film was produced by SpectreVision, XYZ Films, and Umedia with support from Legion M. Mandy is set in the primal wilderness of 1983 where Red Miller, a broken and haunted man hunts an unhinged religious sect who slaughtered the love of his life. In the liner notes Cosmatos states: “Jóhann went above and beyond, and I suspect to the limits of his sanity, to make the music for this movie. His words and his actions made him more than a great collaborator, they made him like a brother to me. I’m sad our time together was so brief but I’m very proud of what he accomplished on Mandy and I believe he was too.” The Jóhann Jóhannsson Foundation was created by his family and agent Kevin Korn in memory of Jóhannsson to foster and enhance appreciation, education and achievement in the areas of composition, music, and art around the world through educational outreach, a composer scholarship foundation, an annual composer gala event, and international festivals. www.thejohannjohannssonfoundation.org MUSIC BY JÓHANN JÓHANNSSON SCORE PRODUCED BY: JÓHANN JÓHANNSSON AND RANDALL DUNN ALBUM PRODUCED BY: PEPIJN CAUDRON (KRENG) YAIR ELAZAR GLOTMAN ADDITIONAL MUSIC: PEPIJN CAUDRON YAIR ELAZAR GLOTMAN ÚLFUR ELDJÁRN MUSICAL SOUND DESIGN: YAIR ELAZAR GLOTMAN SAM SLATER PROGRAMMING, ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS, ELECTRIC GUITAR AND DEMO PRODUCER: KJARTAN HÓLM 6 STRING BASS, FRETLESS BASS, SOPRANO ELECTRIC 12 STRING GUITAR, ACOUSTIC AND ELECTRIC GUITARS: SKÚLI SVERRISON SYNTHESIZER PROGRAMMING, SOUND DESIGN, ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS: ÚLFUR ELDJÁRN ALPHORN: MARTIN GRABER GUITAR: STEPHEN O’MALLEY GUITAR: WILL HAYES DRUMS: MATT CHAMBERLAIN SYNTHESIZER, PROGRAMMING AND SOUND DESIGN: TIMM MASON PROGRAMMING: WOUTER RENTEMA RECORDED AT NTOV STUDIOS, BERLIN / Q-ROOM, BOLZANO, ITALY / BONELLO STUDIOS, BERLIN PUBLISHED BY NTOV MUSIC, ADMINISTERED BY MUTE SONG COMPOSER MANAGEMENT: TIM HUSOM at REDBIRD MUSIC JÓHANN JÓHANNSSON APPEARS COURTESY OF DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON EXECUTIVE ALBUM PRODUCERS FOR LAKESHORE RECORDS: SKIP WILLIAMSON AND BRIAN MCNELIS DIRECTOR OF A&R ERIC CRAIG A&R / ART DIRECTOR & DESIGN JOHN BERGIN COVER ILLUSTRATION CHRISTOPHER SHY “MANDY” LOGO DESIGN CHRISTOPHE SZPAJDEL MASTERED BY FRANCESCO DONADELLO - CALYX MASTERING SPECIAL THANKS LYNN HOBENSACK DON SMITH TONY GILES
