Johan Christher Schütz
- Composer
Composer and Music Producer from Sweden.
In 2017 he scored Kazuma Yano's first short film The First Feeling in My Life, based on a poem by Shuntaro Tanikawa. The voice-over was done by Aoi Teshima, and the film received a number of Best Film awards and nominations at short film festivals around the world.
In 2015 he scored the Swedish documentary "Varför?" about a young Bulgarian man begging in the streets of Sweden, a film that was screened on the Swedish Annual Politician Week in Almedalen. The lively instrumental score was inspired by Eastern-European folk music, and released on in 2018 as "Bull Rider Boy".
Other short films Schütz has scored include The Miracle (2004) by Robert Nelson, (Czech Republic), and "Marcus & Medelhavet" (2003) and "Grälmakar" (2007), both by Johan Pettersson (Sweden).
Schütz also writes musicals, an interest he claims was born when Takarazuka Kagekidan (a Japanese musical theatre company which has been staging lavish Broadway-style productions for over 100 years) translated his song "Passion" for their show "Reimei no Kaze / Passion (Ai no Tabi)" in 2008. Schütz' first musical "Tivolisaga" (Carnival Tale) was written in collaboration with director Johan Pettersson. Based on Romeo and Juliet (with characters renamed Punch and Judy), it premiered at the Arbis Theatre in Norrköping, and the original Swedish cast recording was released in 2018.
