Film Noir World

Dark Earth Out Now

About Me


Starting in Feb 2007 Film Noir World was created by music producer Mark Johnson. Originally from Stockton on Tees but now based in Nottingham. Film Noir World is a world of escapism, where things may be dark but there can be light inside. With big influences from dramatic cinema, Mark wants to create sounds that can take your breath away, make the hairs stand on the back of your neck, or simply just scare the bejuses out of you.

In Feb 2008, (exactly a year since FNW was created) the 2nd album Dark Earth is released. Bringing in a much bigger cinematic, lush sound and having for the first time worked with other artists, Dark Earth is a big step forward and showcases the growth of Marks talent. Distributed through Nashville Noir Records, Dark Earth is the next chapter to this dark dark world.

In 2007 he released "FiLM NOiR WORLD presents Its here...", with 14 tracks of swooping strings, crying choirs and dark electro beats, all mixed in with a very dramatic backdrop. To critical acclaim this album has reached radio stations in Germany, America and UK so far, so you never know where you may hear a Film Noir track.

Residing in the music of England, Film Noir World is a project by a one man band and producer who makes music that have a movie soundtrack feel. From love, adventure, to suspense, thriller, mysterious, action, and horror. Interesting cd I must say. A combining elements of electronic, trip-hop, and hip-hop. "It's Here" is a study diversity and benefits greatly from it. A persistent range of orchestral & relating strings and choir cliched phrases that Film Noir World has somehow twisted and warped just enough of a common thread holding it all together to make it work in a brilliant way. Multifaceted and brimming with an eclectic sound. A perfect hybrid of this album project. The BBC and Hollywood in the USA may give this one man music producer his big break. He deserves it! The framework of the music is an exploring of complexities. A patchwork from start to finish. Film Noir World proves that it is possible to create music that is both powerful and melodic while, at the same time, conveying some human emotion, and penetrates to the emotional heart. All fourteen tracks do have the attention to gain respect from, and to me, that's important. An admirable and brave collection of tracks to say at least, which is quite impressive and an achievement.
