He was an inspiration and he was such a talent at young age.
I never met Johannes personally.
But around 1996, using IRC, I remember I tried if it was possible to reach someone named jozz with a direct message on irc. And yes I got a reply from someone with that nickname.
I told him I was a fan of his C64 music. And he said thanks with a smile. Don't know if it was the correct Jozz. But i believe so.
RIP JB. |

Vale Johannes. Such a defining sound of the scene back in the day, and by all accounts a lovely man to those who had the pleasure of knowing him in person.
The world's a little darker now. |

remember his work from early games, and from rawhead demos etc.. and games like thunderforce.. and kamikaze etc
as for the tune I liked most , maybe "sweet" or the "chase" which featured in a small chopper / copter demo.. again a norweign demo.
sad, 52 is no age.. then again TMR didn't get to 50.. I expect you to be old 85-90 year old moaning about who does the best coding etc.
RIP Johannes, the man with the very tricky to say surname. |

Indeed, one of the true greats. We have never known eachother, but thank you for all the joyful moments while listening to your SIDs Johannes. Goodbye! |

Really sad news indeed :(
I remember his tunes pretty well, including the classic "Sweet", which he wrote in 1987. I didn't hear too many of his masterpieces, except for a few commercial games I had bought on tape in the past. MACH, Flimbo's Quest, Thunderforce, and perhaps a few others I may not have been familiar with.
Yet another legend, who carries a legacy taken away from us all.
R.I.P Johannes :( |

Whole campaign for cancer treatment gave so much hope but, sadly, it only bought Johannes a little time :(
Rest In Peace :( |

sadly it's a total gamble.. too many family members and friend go thru it i know, some currently.. and they were getting covid19 on top of chemo and other stuff..
we are all of an age when we were teens once, waiting for the latest demos and games to come thru the post etc.. simpler times.
it does seem like a lifetime ago, ironically |
