I am a Norwegian sound designer, composer, and audio producer with a strong background in music technology and creative sound for audiovisual storytelling. As founder and managing director of Åberg Audio AS, I create tailored sound design and music for film, television, games, and other media, combining technical precision with a playful, artistic approach. My academic foundation includes both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Music Technology from NTNU. In my master’s thesis, I explored the implementation of music in video games through FMOD, focusing on the transition from linear composition to dynamic, interactive music systems. This research sharpened my understanding of how technology and aesthetics intersect in game audio, and it continues to inform my work today. Alongside my own audio company, I have co-owned and developed another audio company Ambolt Audio, worked as a lecturer in sound-related courses at Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and contributed to strategic and creative projects as a board member at Ambolt Vision AS. These roles have strengthened both my independent practice and my ability to collaborate across disciplines. I bring curiosity, precision, and creativity to every project, with the goal of crafting sound and music that enhance stories and elevate experiences.
