If you wanted an epic film score making in the 21st century, Johann Johannsson was the first person you called. The Icelandic EDM pioneer, and Oscar nominated composer of 'Arrival', 'Sicario' and 'The Theory Of Everything', had a great talent and a real knack for finding the perfect soundtrack to support whatever emotion was being portrayed on screen.
Johannsson actually started off his musical life in an indie rock band before progressing into making dance music, releasing a couple of albums before moving onto full scale composition. He was a popular festival choice and toured around the world conducting performances of his film scores and other original compositions. It was feared that his untimely death at the age of 48 was a suicide, but a coroner's report confirmed that it was a tragic accident. Johannsson had taken cocaine, which had reacted badly with medication he was on, resulting in lethal consequences.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
