    Hi!
    I was asked to score a Christmas episode for the Norwegian comedy group Kongen & Banditten. The story is about two mobsters who want to earn their familys respect, but always ends up doing the wrong things. In this episode, they need to deliver a christmas present to a nephew. But the nephew has seen Home Alone one time to much.

    They wanted the music to be similar to the original Home Alone, and also use the theme for Kongen & Banditten. So I ended up writing a Christmas theme and a more mysterious theme, similar to John Williams music. I used mainly CSS, BWW, Berlin Brass, Cineperc and Voxos.

    This is my first attempt to write orchestral music to picture. Hope you like it. Please feel free to give my any feedback (although I am a little bit afraid to be torn into pieces by all the talented composers here :D But that is the point of having a feedback thread)

     
  2. The video was good, but the music was great. You nailed exactly the right vibe for this. Action scenes were great, but the into and end were even better.
     
  3. Thank you! That is very kind!
     
  4. Man, for your first time you're nailing it. Great thematic use and development, orchestration, and overall setting the mood. I'm not one of the talented composers on here but you did a fantastic job.
     
  5. A very impressive effort for your a tenth let alone first score to film Haakon. You did a nice job with quick musical switches to reflect the mood of the actors as well as physical events. I enjoyed it!
     
  6. Thank you very much. Glad you liked to development, as I focused a lot on that!

    Thank you! I am very happy to hear that.
