One of 3 songs used in my application for Sonic College in spring 2012.

A Different Time

First real entry into the world of electronic sound design.
The spoken word is taken from the computer game Half Life 2 - Episode 2.

Chasing Ghosts of Hard-earned Goals

Whatever Would Make You Happy

This is my take on how a computer would sound if it could sing.
Computers does sing in a way, though: On every startup a tiny melody is played, represented as the startup sound - a short welcome to the user, where the computer signals to him, that it is once again ready to be taken on another ride.

Adventures of a CPU (The Computer Theme)

A one-day school assignment at Sonic College, where the objective was to create about 2 minutes of symphony.

How to Overcome Petty Controversies Smoothly

This is the result of some tweaking with a few samples of my dad talking during a dinner i recorded at his house.
I made this as a little for-fun assignment to myself in order to improve my Ableton Live sampling skills.

In english the words roughly translates to:
Bloody vegetables
Augh, I thought FUUUUUUU----!
...and then you're positive-minded again! (putting on the yes-hat)

Så Har Man Ja-Hatten På Igen

This was part of an exam project in the summer of 2014, where the objective was to create a coherent sound identity for the city of Copenhagen. Sound logos and a radio commercial accompanied this track.

The City of Copenhagen

Elders at the Library

A quite free school assignment, where the only audio sources we could utilize were our own foley and field recordings (no sample libraries or synths).

Made in collaboration with Bjørn Dam Larsen.

Cosmos

Credit music for the short film 'Tilde' by director Oliver Herlitschek. I made the sound design as well as the music for this short.

Brushstrokes of Brilliance

An orchestral composition imagined to be a suite of themes for a film. 

From an assignment at Sonic College, where we were to compose a piece of music, the only requirements being that it had to include orchestral instruments. Needless to say, I went all in - and had a blast doing it.

I couldn't decide whether to make a dark/ambient kind of piece, an epic one with swelling brass and drums or a romantic strings melody, so I did it all.

Nurtured by the Soil, Drawn to the Sea (Suite)

Whatever Makes You Happy (2013, New Master)

Regn Over Kattegat

Here is my entry to the Andy Othling Experiment song exercise (see http://www.andyothling.com/songwriting-exercise/).

As I began experimenting with the track, I felt that a chord was needed at the end (C) and thus cut some in the sound file to add this necessary chord.
The entire song is more or less just me experimenting with different piano themes and ringshifter effect settings.

Everything is done in Logic Pro using its software instruments.
