<p><strong>'AND IN THE ENDLESS PAUSE THERE CAME THE SOUND OF BEES'</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>Composer J&oacute;hann J&oacute;hannsson draws the title of his latest album from the original VARMINTS book written by Helen Ward and illustrated by Marc Craste and is the music he composed for the a 24-minute film version, Directed by Marc Craste at STUDIO AKA.</p>
<p><a href="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14064-and-in-the-endless-pause-there-came-the-sound-of-bees/" target="_blank">PITCHFORK REVIEW</a>:&nbsp;<em>'As a recording, the album displays a few sides of J&oacute;hannsson we haven't heard before. Among his albums to date, it's one of the most musically active, and befitting its origin, also the most soundtrack-y, which means something for a guy working in a genre frequently referred to as cinematic. We first got to know the Icelandic composer through two brilliant minimal electro-orchestral albums, Englab&ouml;rn and Vir&eth;ulegu forsetar, both of which displayed a knack for unifying the whole work by exploring and re-exploring the same themes in different contexts. And in the Endless Pause does the same, returning to a series of motifs and using the orchestration to imply different meanings each time. Though it does incorporate some of J&oacute;hannsson's trademark electronic treatments, this is largely an orchestral and choral work, given a vividly atmospheric, almost spectral performance by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir.'</em></p>
