Jóhann Jóhannsson is Icelandic - he lives in Reykjavík - and is a musician, composer, producer and an active member of the country’s artistic community (as the founder of the Kitchen Motors label / think tank / art collective and also as a serial collaborator).
Jóhann’s stately and hauntingly melodic music has been quietly bewitching listeners for some time and his 2006 album 'IBM 1401, A User’s Manual' - was his most ambitiously-orchestrated composition.
Inspired by a recording of an IBM mainframe computer which Jóhann’s father, Jóhann Gunnarsson, made on a reel-to-reel tape machine more than 30 years ago, the piece was originally written to be performed by a string quartet as the accompaniment to a dance piece by the choreographer Erna Ómarsdóttir. For the album version, Johann rewrote the entire score, and it was recorded by a sixty-piece string orchestra. He also added a new final movement - a version of which makes up this single - and incorporated electronics alongside those original tape recordings of the singing computer.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Johannsson.
Your powerful work will live in the power art you helped create. Thank you.
Lived for experimental music, died on coke.
Rest in peace, Jóhann Jóhannsson. The sun's truly gone dim...
first reply somehow
Damn its already been this long. Truly underrated artist
When i heard he passed. I saw the sun go dim
Just now getting into his work and saw this RIP post. Damn man.
Edit: I'm black. so by damn man. I meant God damn it man.. That sucks.
The song "end times" from (the 11/10 game) outer wilds is actually based off of this, and if you know that game, "sun's gone dim" is the answer to what "end times" signifies
As a big fan of this song and that game I can't believe I didn't know this
There was a song based on this one. It plays every twenty two minutes, before the sun goes dim, and the sky goes black. When the mask shines and time rolls back.
Just a single system with five planets, and a lonely eye amidst it all.
My relation to this song may not be like others, but I am grateful for this song, because it inspired one of the most profound experiences in my life. Things seem sad, but…that’s okay. It’s peaceful in its own way
We do not have much connection, you and I. Still, this encounter feels special. I hope you won't mind if I think of you as a friend.
@@rociofernandez7165 You guys are making me cry
@@thefallencat2080 This song is new to me, but I am honored to be a part of it
I don't understand. What does this mean?
@@ToBeFrank_. go play outer wilds, you’ll understand
Wow, I'm amazed at how similar this sounds to "End Times" from Outer Wilds. And considering the title of this song, the connection is even stronger... I wonder if Andrew Prahlow took this as an inspiration to write End Times.
he did actually!
OMG I was thinking the same while playing the game.
Rest in Peace, Johann Johannsson. Thank you for all the beauty and wonder you added to this world.
The Suns gone dim and the sky's turned black
Cause I love her
And she didn't love back. (Those are the lyrics.)
lol and for some reason this song scared me
Well that hurts to think about
Forzaa awesome thank you so much
That Line Describes my Life with Girls 😓😥
that verse hits home man😔
Your light has dimmed from our world JJ but your sounds still resonate in us. May it inspire others so it can continue ringing.
This is seriously one of the most impactful pieces of music that exists, I am sure of it, it is hard to not be thoroughly moved by its brilliance.
You live?
I feel like this would have been a good song for the Cherynobl trailer
Might have sent too many flashbacks to the Battle: Los Angeles trailer.
*DIBS*
It might've been too cheesy (even cheesier than their trailer already is).
He actually worked with Hildur, so it makes sense.
I felt that it would be perfect for the credits of avengers endgame
RIP :-(
the teaser trailer to Battle Los Angeles introduced me to the work of this amazing composer. RIP Mr Johansson
:/
Feels like sinking under the water deeper and deeper, looking at the disappearing sun rays. You are drowning, but you are not fighting it either. Rest in Peace Mr. Jóhannsson.
We will miss your music , thank you for everything Johann
When I heard of his untimely death, I thought of this song. It kinda hurts to listen to it now. RIP young legend....
RIP Johann
........Everytime I hear this song I get in a fighting mood It fills me with sadness and anger. This a beautiful song I love it
RIP Jóhann. This song brought me joy both in happy times and hard times. Thank you for the contribution you have made on this Earth.
Feels different listening to this song today waiting for the coming weeks of the coronavirus. Just knowing terrible circumstances loom on the horizon. Be safe my friends. We are all in this together.
Annnnnd here it is folks. The overly dramatic youtube comment that's fishing for attention and upvotes.
BlownMacTruck yeah why can't he be miserable like the rest of us.
Death Awaits I’m not miserable and neither are most people I know. The OP’s comment on the other hand…
No Where not in this together and no things might not be okay.
I came here from siren head
Rest in Peace to this legend. I remember hearing this for the first time and couldn't breathe for the entire song. So haunting and beautiful.
Me too. Can't breathe...
He didn`t die...He became music.
Fuck you for being so brilliant! God bless.
That doesn't make any sense
@@crazyinsanepenguin His music is Him, his heart and soul... now go try and Kill Music; It doesn't Die.
No, he died.
Earth will be destroyed by a broken hearted man.
We all broken in a way or another , a destructive man will harm the others with a wound or without it.
3:05
It almost was, rumor has it central mustache man had been scorned by a woman, so he took it out on Europe.
Quite a profound thing you’ve said here.
I rebuke you as a man who could only ever choose love. I see that outcome, but reject it no matter the cost.
This is a very powerful piece. There was so much emotion throughout the whole song that it actually left me speachless the first time I heard it. One of my favorites for sure.
Just when I was giving up in finding any good modern music..this guy comes along.
Alongside Max Richter, Clint Mansell and Hans Zimmer they totally have given us some incredible music.
RIP Johann Johannsson a great composer that will go back to the beauty of space and life itself.
Reminds me of the isolating feeling we get at times. There are reasons we feel this way. The trick is to individually find out why.
@@Ligrev001 keyword in currency
Out of everyone here, I think you've said it best as to why so many people connect to this song.
ZChmilewsky You think so?
@@FolkBoyify I do. I can't quite stick the reason as to why your post resonates with me, but it does. When I listen to this song, I tend to reflect some on my life.
Perhaps that's just me ascribing my own perspective on it, though.
That was one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a really long time.
A month since you've been gone, and this beautiful piece will resonant with us forever. Thank you JJ. Him being Icelandic and all, if you guys like this kind of music that is soft but sad, check out Yoko Kanno's 'VON' from Zankyou no Terror. It's in Icelandic and also breathtaking.
1. Pause this video.
2. Open this video in a new tab: watch?v=uW038HWDZGw
3. Set that video's sound lower than this video
4. Play both at the same time
5. Enjoy the amazing atmosphere. Preferably eyes closed.
It's amazing , Thanks
My tablet says the video is no longer available what was the name of the video
keith newman The video is still available. Search "battle ambient background sounds"
keith newman Sun's Gone Dim
+Vatian YOU.
This song made that scene from Nerve creepy af and even more sad.
Glad we were fortunate enough to have his creative brilliance shine despite the brief time he was with us.
I remember when this had only 20,000 views. Its grown a lot since but I seriously feel this is one of the most beautiful songs ever made!
4 years and counting...still very sad that such a wonderful contributor to music has left us much too soon, RIP Jóhann Jóhannsson.
This was used on the Ad for that LA alien invasion film a few years back yes?
first time i've heard it since then. This full version is amazing!
One of my favorite songs and videos. Power.
Listening to this whilst looking at the moon and the stars is just magic absolutely one of my favourite songs of all time
Rest in Music Johann!
I’m really going to miss you. Your music was a part of my escape from this world.
RIP Johann.
Most bone chilling and impactful song ever just the sounds alone make it that chilling and emotional in my opinion. Such a masterpiece, RIP Johann Johannsson
Over and over I watch this video, over and over my brain tries to wrap itself around the message. If any.
Wonder. Full of Wonder. Wonderful.
Rest in peace sir, your music will continue to inspire.
The best trailer ever brought me here.
A song that can evoke every conceivable human emotion is not a song, but an extension of the human condition
This song revels the one thing that mankind both loves and curses: Its humanity.
My school did a dance production and this was one of the pieces of music we used. By far my favorite. This song is so emotive and amazing!
RIP Johann. You were one of the best to ever do it.
Outer Wilds people! I used to listen to this song all the time. When I heard it in this game. Beyond fitting! wow
I cant believe I heard this song 17 years ago as a teenager. A few more of those and I'll be long gone. May this song live forever.
Here's my awnser: Nikolai Galitzin was asked to do a film for one of the songs on the IBM 1401 album. He asked 4 of his filmmaker friends to come to Iceland and shoot 5 different stories, one story for each filmmaker. Then the 5 films were combined into one film, in a variation of the surrealist game of "Cadavre Exquis".
This song is perfect to neglect on the isolation of COVID-19 and the quiet towns in texas
I can't help but I think someone who's composing and writing music as heartwrenching and sad like this masterpiece, may struggle with a lot of pain :(
RiP Johann Johannsson... poignant song... the sun truly has gone dim... we have lost a gem of a composer. A sad day x
Im grateful for this mans work. A true genius who was only just beginning
Try watching it with your eyes closed and let it wash over you...it's an incredible, powerful, and even emotional feeling that is rare to find in the music of this generation. Beautiful, breathtaking song, and yet another great Icelandic artist comes on my radar after hearing this...
Johann Johannsson brought me here
Anybody know of any other sad, kind of eerie almost, songs like this one? Besides This is Not the End.

I'm not human at all 🥀
Joker theme extended.
Rest in Peace, Jóhann.
RIP Johann Johannsson,
One of the most brilliant artist of all time.
An absolutely incredible composition from Johan and in my opinion, one of his best. It makes me frightened and emotional about dark times; however as the song continues it strikes hope too.
The first time I heard this song was in the trailer for battle l.a. it was and still is an intense piece.
Same here. Loved that movie, would love to time travel to see it in theaters
Reminds me of Fieldwork-This Is Not The End
same.
Well this one released way before than Fieldwork-This Is Not The End.
This is such an amazing song!
Wow! I love all your music. This is the best, most beautiful music ever in the whole , wide world. Divinely, soulfully lovely. Xx ~`~
This song has moved me for most of my life.
RIP Johann. One of the best ever.
This song makes me tear up every time I hear it. I'm glad it got the exposure that it did when Battle: L.A. came out, because I would have never heard it. I had to have this album after I heard the song in the trailer. The whole album is AMAZING. Movie, meh. But the album is too good not to own.
That is all, lol.
Strong words from a strong human, I feel the same. I can only imagine you've been through a lot, for you to write that comment. Peace be with you. As peace is about to come and collect me.
I respect you stranger.
i think of this song more than ever these days
RIP
This
Using is so good that it’s the reason I wanted to see Battle LA because they used it in the trailer
I can't say I liked Battle: LA at all. It was pretty lousy, and I love most alien invasion movies. But at least it introduced me to this awesome song!
The movie was terrible. The trailer was amazing!
Richard Montgomery Exactly!
@@alzareshwatch this /watch?v=YxD02c2pIsI
I will always disagree, but the one thing we can agree on is the song.
damn i love johann johannssons music so much, so when i heard the song in the trailer for the movie Battle:LA i was hyped because i thought he would make the soundtrack for the film. The movie was great, but i hope that he makes the soundtrack in the sequel.
A moment for people who are still finding the song
RIP amazing music
Vielen Dank JJ Schade das Du Dich entschieden hast zu früh diese Erde zu verlassen. Wir vermissen Dich und deine einmalige Musik
I love this song Ive heard it for years didn't know the artist than saw the trailer for that alien movie and this was on it and read who sings it love this song.
There was an old youtube video of a Halo Speed Painting with this playing in the background, the video has since been taken down due to copyright but this music is beautiful.
Well that was an awesome video.
Thank you for the music Jóhan. Thank you.
For all it's worth, you have been an inspiration to many, including myself. May you rest peacefully. Loss of words. Still can't accept this. R.i.p.
I feel as if I would be really moved by this video if I knew what the bleedin' heck was going on.
The video depicts the end of the world after the sun blows out and the song is about how it feels like the world is ending and there is no hope for you after a love tells you she doesn't love you back.
+Sandman Stan very well put I'm sorry you had to go through that. It's truly the worst pain there is, heartbreak that is.
+Sandman Stan
I live there too, my friend. Very similar situations. Good luck to you. Pain is universal and this world will destroy us if we let it.
+Araxie Rose It's like The Martian, only shorter, and better, and Matt Dillon's not in it.
+Sandman Stan this is fucking true
I just learned he died 2 years ago. T_T This will be forever my favorite song from him
The Sun truly has gone dim. Rest in peace
I saw you once live and i'll never forget it. RIP
The symbolism of the video is brilliant. It also made me cry once I brought it all together. Powerful as hell.
Who else got goosebumps when this song came on @nerve
What an interesting song. Evokes introspection, causes stillness and deep reflection...and a dash of deep blue sorrow for good measure, Like a post apocalyptic vision of a shattered soul.
+Jessica Dolley Yeah. Kasparov also had a dash of deep blue sorrow. lol
I audibly groaned at this. *eye roll*
You are losing sense of reality with this song...eternal traveling
This is great song, great composer Johann Johannsson of our time. Fist time I heard it in trailer Battle for LA, I saw it again and again. Director of trailer used this song ideal.
this song sounds like the feeling i got when i had to come to terms with the fact that i couldent win this girls heart who i really loved. the moment that i realized her heart was truly somewhere else, has finnally been manifested into a song... thank you Johann Johannsson
crushed. peace to jj
this the kinda music that make you want to stay in a house fire
4:46 sounds a bit like the opening to Guns N' Roses' November Rain
RIP, the world of Music has lost another great composer, but your music will live on.
Goodbye Jóhann Jóhannsson. This piece of music has brought me to tears many times over the past 12 years. You were taken too soon. Thank you for everything you’ve shared with us.
The name of the film used on this fan music video is called: The Sea Of Perdition

I knew the IBM 1401 was saying something else after...
"The sun's gone dim and the sky's turned black 'cause I loved her and she didn't love back."
It's a Dorothy Parker poem...
Two-Volume Novel
The sun's gone dim, and
The moon's turned black;
For I loved him, and
He didn't love back.
Dorothy Parker
These lyrics have been looping in my head for weeks.
You added some incredible and beautiful to this unbearable world. You remain always in our souls mr. Johann Johansson....
Anyone who put a thumbs down, must have gotten lost from looking around for a Kardashian video
