There's no doubting that Halfdan E is one of Denmark's premier film and tv drama composers. He has an immediately recognisable musical signature that fuses the most contemporary of electronica with classic orchestral sounds, creating a unique and engaging score that resonates across many genres and many periods. A 4 times Danish Academy award winner Halfdan has scored in excess of 50 films and 20 prime time tv series. Dividing his time between Copenhagen and London, Halfdan is a great 'remote collaborator' as well as a hands-on member of the production team and is always exceedingly happy to take the necessary trips to London - his favourite 'home'. Halfdan first burst onto the international market with his music for all 3 seasons of political drama Borgen - a series that ignited a global hunger for Scandinavian influenced drama and is still screened all over the world. A fourth season is currently in development with Netflix and will most likely be screened in 2022. In the UK Halfdan delivered and award-worthy score for BBC1's highly acclaimed, psychological thriller Apple Tree Yard, directed by Jessica Hobbs for Kudos Film & TV, starring Emily Watson and Ben Chaplin. Halfdan started his career in music as a bass player in many different Danish bands before joining the group Laid Back. The band's international hits included Sunshine Reggae, Bakerman and White Horse. He later teamed up with the Danish poet Dan Turèll, and together they recorded 2 hit albums, winning 2 Danish Emmys. He was already an established rock star before studying for a degree at Copenhagen's Rhythmic Music Conservatory, majoring in playing, composition, orchestration, arranging and sound engineering.
