…when Sound and Music is the DNA of the Storytelling

15/08/2019, 10:00 – 13:00
Peter Albrechtsen & Jonas Struck

Composer Jonas Struck and sound designer Peter Albrechtsen are two of Denmark’s most acclaimed in their field, and they have now collaborated on seven films, both feature films and documentaries. Sound and music is closely intertwined in their extraordinary work with both Struck and Albrechtsen being part of the productions very early, so that music and sound informs both the scriptwriting, the shoot and the picture editing. In this forum, they will dig deep into their close collaboration with different examples from their movies, ranging from dystopian sci-fi to political thriller to personal dramas, showing how they’ve developed their extraordinary style and how music and sound can interact together in many creative ways.
