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 on June 20th 2011. Jóhann's score was performed live by a 16-piece brass ensemble in the Durham Cathedral - the setting for the film's climax and many historic colliery galas - a first for the predominantly string/piano-based 130701 imprint. Having released several well received full-lengths on Touch, Type, 12 Tonar and 4AD, as well as having scored several films, dances and theatre performances. Jóhann will be performing at the Barbican's Steve Reich weekender 'Reverberations' in May 2011, alongside Reich himself. A special, exclusive screening of excerpts from The Miners' Hymns will accompany Max Richter, Hauschka and Dustin O'Halloran at their performance at the one-off Brighton Festival / Great Escape live event in May. This album will appeal to fans of Max Richter, Peter Broderick, Hauschka, Sylvain Chauveau, Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi, Steve Reich etc. etc.Zur Kurzzusammenfassung
