FRANS BAK
Danish film composer RESUME
Frans Bak is a film composer with 30 years of music experience in the Scandinavian television and film industry. He was educated at the prestigious Royal Danish Conservatory. After graduation he went on to play in several Danish bands, appearing as bandleader in over 100 TV shows. In 1988 commercial television launched in Denmark and Frans began scoring commercials. Today Frans has scored well over 100 commercials. In 1990 Frans began scoring for film and television, covering all genres from symphonic orchestras to smaller ensembles and electronic scores. In 2002 Frans recorded his first television crime series Den 5:e kvinnan (aka ”The Fifth Woman”) for Swedish Television. Later that year Frans composed all 20 episodes of the Emmy award winning Danish television drama Nikolaj & Julie (aka ”Nicholas & Juliet”). His music for the Danish TV-‐series Forbrydelsen (aka “The Killing”), of which he scored all 3 seasons, was noticed in Hollywood where he now has scored 3 seasons of The Killing – the US remake of Forbrydelsen, and is working on season 4 now. He also scored the popular series Lilyhammer and is now working in both Europe and USA as one of the most sought after composers in the film and tv business today. During his career Frans has scored 3 Oscar nominated shorts: Ernst og lyset, Helmer & Søn (aka “Helmer & Son”) and Skal vi være kærester? (aka “Sweethearts?”)
