In 1999, he cofounded Kitchen Motors, an Icelandic label, art and music collective, and was a founding member of the band Apparat Organ Quartet until 2012. In addition, Jóhannsson has released seven solo albums. In 2015, his score for The Theory of Everything won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar, as was his score for Sicario this year.
