19	!!Tropes associated with this composer:
20
21	* AssociatedComposer: He worked together with director Creator/DenisVilleneuve on ''Film/{{Prisoners}}'', ''Film/{{Sicario}}'' and ''Film/{{Arrival}}''. Jóhannsson was also working on Villeneuve's ''Film/BladeRunner2049'' before being replaced by Music/HansZimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch.
22	* GenreRoulette: The 2006 ''Kitchen Motors Family Album'' featured a contribution from Jóhann, "Beginning and end". The diversity in the album would influence his own musical direction as well.
23	* SilenceIsGolden: ''[[Film/Mother2017 mother!]]'' used to have a score, but after Jóhann and Creator/DarrenAronofsky checked it out, they felt that it was too much, and scrapped the music, lending a hand in heightening the [[HairTriggerSoundEffect sound design]] instead.
24	* [[invoked]]WhatCouldHaveBeen: His work on ''Blade Runner 2049'' was eventually not retained for the film. Villeneuve later hinted that this was because Jóhansson's score was more orchestral whereas he wanted to go back to the electronic style of Music/{{Vangelis}}, something both Villeneuve and Jóhansson agreed was the best course of action.
