Frans Bak

Danish composer Frans Bak played piano throughout his childhood, immersing himself totally in the melodies that he created. He graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Music and formed a number of bands, experimenting with music, fusing together his classical training with different genres, sounds and modern technologies, and in doing so, has carved out a unique sound through his own compositions, ambient, melodic, atmospheric. Today, Frans continues to work as a highly accomplished composer, with over thirty years experience scoring for the film, TV and advertising industries, receiving international critical acclaim for his compositions for Nordic, French, American and British TV series. A pioneer of the Nordic Noir genre, his mesmerising music for ‘The Killing’ is widely acclaimed. Frans has also scored three Oscar nominated shorts: Ernst & Lyset, Helmer & Son and Skal vi Være Kærester? Frans released 'Sound of North' in 2016 bringing together new music and a number of critically acclaimed compositions. Inspired by his own upbringing and rooted in Scandinavia, Frans encapsulates the mood of ‘his north’, presenting its unique spirit and atmosphere; a coolness, a calmness, a mindfulness, found in much of his work. Frans' latest album 'PIANO' is a wonderful collection of vignettes with piano and strings, inspired by his chance rediscovery of the very piano he played on as a child. Frans continues to release new works as the duo BAK//RORDAM in 2021.
