I am proud to announce the release of our second album for the game ARC Raiders, The Riven Tides. This game remains my strongest gaming experience to date, and I am super grateful to Bence Pajor, Stefan Strandberg and Embark Studios for being part of its success.

It has been a fantastic journey and blessing to work on the music for ARC Raiders. From the first sketches in 2020 to final mixes, The project has changed a few times over the years but every time the music has gotten better and deeper; a long wonderful destillation combined with raw sound-making from scratch with our favourite analog and modular synths. By the time ARC Raiders took its final shape, the music did too.
Super thanks to co-composer Johan Söderqvist and everyone at Embark Studios. Huge thanks to (@embarkstudios) audio director Bence Pajor & chief creative officer Stefan Strandberg for your invaluable inspiration, guidance and fun hang, art director Robert Sammelin, General Counsel Johan Axel-Nilsson . Thanks to our small but super talented music team; Andreas Widegren (additional composing and sound editing/programming), Simon Petersson Holm (additional composing and sound editing/programming), Carl Strandberg (the amazing remix of ARC Raiders(II)), Jesper Söderqvist (Percussion and sound programming), Conrad Gluch (Bass Clarinet), Magnus Palmborg & Jonas Hallén @musicsupercirkus, Björn Engelman @CuttingroomMastering
“…The soundtrack is worth its own love letter. All analog synths and VHS crackle, it hums with nostalgia — not for the ‘80s, but for the future the ‘80s promised and never delivered…” Maya A @AbsoluteGeeks.com
… and we just revealed the new trailer at Summer Game Fest! It’s a tense, cinematic glimpse into the world we’ve been working hard on building.
This time around, the synths take on a life of their own. There’s a pulse running through it all. Hypnotic, gritty, a little eerie. It’s less about nostalgia, more about pushing you into the unknown.
Creating this soundscape has been a very rewarding part of my journey. Hope it pulls you in as much as it did us. Such a great collaboration with the Embark Team and my friend and composer Johan Söderqvist! October 30 can’t come soon enough..
GORN 2 is officially out now and I’m excited to share that the original soundtrack is live as well.
Scoring GORN 2 was a wild ride. From bone-crunching chaos to moments of eerie calm before the next battle of carnage, the music was crafted to be as gorny as the gameplay itself.
You can listen to the full GORN 2 (Original Soundtrack) now on Spotify:
Excited to share that The Helsinki Effect has just premiered at CPH DOX! Much thanks to director & writer Arthur Franck. I had the pleasure of composing the score together with my friend Uno Helmersson for this sharp and witty doc about the 1975 Cold War summit in Helsinki. The project is packed with incredible archival footage and newly declassified transcripts.
Performed by The Royal Swedish Orchestra at The Royal Swedish Opera!
MUSIC: Hildur Guðnadóttir, Sam Slater, Mikael Karlsson, Magnus Birgersson, Johan Skugge, Jukka Rintamäki, Rami Yacoub, Gordy Haab, Johan Söderqvist, Patrik Andrén
This was a nice film to score a few years ago. Releasing the soundtrack now for this gripping story written and directed by Camilla Ström Henriksen. Thanks to everybody involved and especially to Nils Jansson and his quartet for nice collaborations.
I’m excited to share my lecture on creating the music for Battlefield 1 & V and Arc Raiders! Dive into my process and short behind-the-scenes stories. Check out the full talk below.
