I'm an experienced composer, producer and artist working across film, TV and commercial projects, both nationally and internationally. I focus on storytelling through sound, with a strong interest in dramaturgy, character work and the emotional rhythm of a narrative. I create original music that aims to feel genuine and creatively new. My credits include to name a few, Våre beste år (NRK), Delete Me (Viaplay) and the award-winning short film Sujip, as well as sonic identity work for brands like Telia, Statkraft, Reebok and Armani. As an artist (Carl Louis) I’ve released several albums, performed on national TV and received international press coverage. Earlier, I co-founded CLMD, touring internationally and earning multiple platinum and gold releases. Across all projects, I work analytically with mood, tempo and detail to shape the audience experience and help each story find its own voice.
