  • Scoring for 'Sveitarómantík (2024)'

    Composing the score for this documentary series about love in the Icelandic countryside required a lot of acoustic instruments. I even attempted to play the banjo, lapsteel and mandolin for this project.

  • Producing sample packs for Overtune

    · By Johannes Sigurjonsson

    A project for music making app Overtune. Produced and composed over a hundred sample packs of various genres, ranging from hip-hop to hyperpop and soul. Due to the nature of the project, no third party loops (such as Splice), were used. All instruments and vocals recorded in the studio from scratch. 

  • Scoring for comedy series 'Flamingó Bar (2024)'

    · By Johannes Sigurjonsson

    Creating a track library of cues for the comedy series 'Flamingó Bar' as well as the series theme was a fun challenge. One note from the director of the series was that the intro theme should feel like a punchline to a joke. So I started the intro with a reference to the classic ba-dum-tss drum fill.   Watch the intro with the series theme below:   Your browser does not support the video tag.

  • 'Þagnir Hljóma Vel' by Valdís and JóiPé

    · By Johannes Sigurjonsson

    A fun collaboration with Icelandic pop artists Valdís and JóiPé. A nostalgic summer track. For the gear-heads, the Mood Mk2 pedal by Chase Bliss can be heard in the first seconds of the song.  

  • Producing 'Höfin Blá' by Ástrós

    · By Johannes Sigurjonsson

    Ástrós came in with this beautifully written song and we turned it into a chill lo-fi influenced pop track with loads of vocal stacks.
