Light and sound on a recycled oil platform. A clockwork in a forest tower. A theme park after dark. A town's own song. Four works written for the place they are played in, with the partners who run it.
The soundtrack of the park's autumn light journey, with live quartet concerts by musicians from Aalborg Symphony Orchestra, a drone show over the park and free learning material for schools. Around 100,000 park guests each autumn season since 2022.
Commissioned by Fårup Sommerland · produced with Profox · music with Nordic Music Brothers
A light-and-sound show about the green transition, projected onto the 14,000-tonne Tyra platform as it came to Frederikshavn harbour to be recycled.

A work for electric violin and twelve speakers in a ring, built on the twelve hours of a clock. The audience moves through the music at its own pace – first in the powder tower in Frederikshavn, then up the spiral of the 45-metre forest tower at Camp Adventure.

Written for Frederikshavn's 200th anniversary as a market town, Stolt af min by (Proud of my town) became a permanent work in the town's Poetry Park in 2019 – by the white bridge at Møllehuset in Bangsbo, alongside texts by H.C. Andersen, Inger Christensen, Benny Andersen and Volbeat. It was unveiled with around 60 singers from the town's choirs, recorded with soprano Lise Robenhagen Hjørne, read aloud on DR P2 Mesterværker – and since 2024 the park has hosted poetry walks and community singing with the municipality.

Original scores for film, series, games and animation are made with his brother Rasmus as Nordic Music Brothers – recorded with Budapest Art Orchestra and the brothers' own studio musicians, for Nordisk Film, DR and independent productions. The mood explorer plays the whole catalogue by feeling: pick a world, and the music follows.
