Short film directed by 3D veteran Pablo Vazquez that tells the Story of a guanaco trying to cross a not-so-deserted road somewhere in the Patagonian desert. I was responsible for the scoring and the complete audio production. Watch Caminandes on YouTube:

Targeted at young readers of ages 5–10, Detective Agency No. 2 is a series of illustrated children’s detective stories that has been launched successfully in the end of 2012 on the Norwegian market by publisher Gyldendal, and will be making its push to the European market this year. The stories are written by accomplished Norwegian author of criminal stories, Jørn Lier Horst, and are illustrated by Hans Jørgen Sandnes.

In addition to the printed books, an audio book adaptation of the series’ first two installments (titled Operasjon Mørkemann and Operasjon Tordensky) has been published in 2013. For this release, I’ve written and produced a catchy and playful jazz big-band soundtrack in the vein of Henri Mancini’s works. The title theme, dubbed Tiril & Oliver’s Theme, is also being featured in the international and Norwegian advertisement trailers for the book series, and has consequently been nominated for Best Music in Advertisement at the 2013 Jerry Goldsmith Awards, one of Europe’s largest film music festival competitions.

Written by Jørn Lier Horst and illustrated by Hans Jørgen Sandnes, Detective Agency Nr. 2 is a series of detective stories for children ages 6 and up. For the audiobook adaptation of the first two books, as well as the book launch trailer, I’ve written a fun big-band score with a distinct Mancini influence, the main theme of which was nominated in 2013 for a Jerry Goldsmith Award in the category of Best Music in Advertisement.
