Call of the Stag

I'm a 35-year-old software engineer and amateur composer living in the beautiful city of Seattle. I have no musical training or background at all. I taught myself to play piano in August of 2014 and then started actually composing in January 2015.

I focus on crafting atmospheric, evocative pieces that take my listeners on a journey through both time and space. Although my focus in the past 6 years has been on cinematic ethnic music (celtic, middle eastern, medieval), I'm now starting to venture into the orchestral realm and couldn't be more excited to mix some of my ethnic sensibilities with more traditional orchestral elements.

Every piece you hear on my cloud is 100% original music that is composed, recorded (using VSTs), and produced by myself. No remixes, no covers (unless explicitly stated), no loops, and absolutely NO prerecorded "musical phrases" of any kind (with the *very* rare exception of an occasional vocal phrase to lend some added color and depth). I manually compose and record every single note of every instrument you hear ... whether it's a violin, flute, vocals, drums, or anything else! 

Also, don't be shy! Feel free to shoot me a message even just to introduce yourself. I love connecting with other soundcloud artists :)

Now that that's all out of the way, put on a good pair of headphones and enjoy!

Fuimadane is a Neo Folk, Dark Ambient, Oriental Music & Folktronica inspired project from the Danish guy Jon Krasheninnikoff Skarin. With our music, we seek to mash together norse pagan and medieval musical elements with other world music. In no way do we claim either historical accuracy nor authenticity. Our music is simply meant to create a world as we would love for it to be - embracing of all and all-encompassing.

Music has always had a tremendous impact on me. I have, as far back as i can remember, always loved music. There were always some special tapes or records my mom or dad would let me listen to just before bedtime. I've always felt most comfortable when i was surrounded by sound. My mother had a piano in the living room that i composed music on. I was not very old but i can still remember some of the themes i made back then. Back then i was not aware of what music would actually mean to me, but i do remember how much i enjoyed it. I've never learned to read music,- everything i've learned is "learned by ear". When i was about 13 years old i was involved in an accident which resulted in that i got deaf in my right ear. It ruined my career as a hockey player (i was on Denmark’s national youth team). At the same time i stopped being involved in music. I simply could not tolerate the loud sounds. But after a few years i slowly developed the desire and joy again. And here i am.
