Inside every film, every script, the music already exists. My job is to find it and bring it to life.

I have been writing music for film since 1996. Over the years, it has amounted to more than 100 productions - from electronic music and cross-over to different sizes of orchestra; from feature films and short fiction to documentaries.

My credits include Danish blockbuster and 8 Danish Film Academy Award winning “King’s Game” by Nikolaj Arcel, This years Oscar-winning short fiction “The Mozart of Pickpockets” by French director Philippe Pollet-Villard and the Oscar winning “This Charming Man” by Martin Strange-Hansen.

Writing music intended for film differs from the more traditional way of creating music. Inspiration comes from a specific story and evolves through a dialogue with the director on the emotions and moods intended for that particular film; is it the individual mental state of the characters that should be portrayed or is it a dramatic frame work that must be established? Drama, fright, joy or longing?

The greatest challenge and joy in being a film composer lies, to me, in capturing an emotion prompted by the film - thus expanding the universe of the film, enhancing the film and experiencing the point where music, sound, and pictures become one.
