The meticulously crafted compositions of Edgar Hopp ooze with intense emotion - the sheer impact hits you like a wave. Behind the project is Swedish musician and producer Johannes Bornlöf, manifesting yet again his acute sense of dramatic suspense and storytelling. With a classic orchestral backbone and dynamic scoring, Bornlöf creates a musical universe where overcoming obstacles and fulfilling one’s destiny is all that matters. Johannes Bornlöf’s versatile back catalog stretches over an impressive number of genres including solo piano, classic orchestral, 2010s pop and future bass. Born in Uppsala, Sweden, Bornlöf started to hone his craft at an early age. He was banging a drum set before he could talk and with musical talent running through the family, his older brother started giving him piano lessons at the age of eleven. After graduating from high school, he confined himself to the parameters of his home studio - located in the scenic central Swedish community of Dala-Järna - determined to master his craft. With unwavering devotion he kept at it, buying equipment, writing songs and producing local artists, gradually building the solid foundation on which his success lay. In 2012, he joined Epidemic Sound and his unique sense of melody and quality of tone runs like a common thread through all of his projects. Listening to his extensive body of work, one is struck by the ease with which he shifts between different styles.
