COMPOSER FOR FILM & TELEVISION

 

 

Lasse Elkjaer is a Los Angeles-based Danish composer, orchestrator, and guitarist, who most recently was nominated 'Best Original Music' at EKKO AWARDS 2023 (DK) for his work on the Sci-fi Drama 'Kazarians Pagt / Light of my Eye' (2022). The year before, Lasse was shortlisted for a Robert Award nomination by the Danish Film Academy, for his orchestral score for the first Danish Halloween feature film, 'The Seekers: Thrill Night (Forsvundet til Halloween)' (2021). The feature was the first Danish feature to be available for streaming at Disney+. In Los Angeles, Lasse has worked with film composers such as Golden Globe-nominated composer Christopher Young, Hellraiser (1987), Spiderman 3 (2007), and five-time Emmy winning composer Jacob Groth. Elkjaer is an eclectic composer who finds inspiration in composers such as Jerry Goldsmith and Ennio Morriocone, and also in analog noise, prog-rock and contemporary modern classical music. With a personal interest in music education, Lasse frequently coaches emerging composers and musicians, and has held several international workshops in film scoring.

"Forsvundet til Halloween is a robust and totally enjoyable soundtrack that gives nods in the direction of the likes of John Wiliams, Dave Grusin, Jerry Goldsmith, Danny Elfman, and John Debney and one that you should take a listen to." - MOVIE MUSIC INTERNATIONAL. (MMI).


"The score possesses a pleasing orchestral sound that avoids dark nuances in favour of a light, family-friendly musical atmosphere. The composer's "Main Theme" is quite appealing and serves as the primary motif for the score. It's a fun score throughout, nicely conceived and crafted by the composer." - BUYSOUNDTRAX.COM


"Forrygende symfonisk horrorscore til dansk familiegyser!" - PLANETPULP.DK


The feature is availble for streaming on Disney+
