Erlend Alm Lerstad

As a versatile multi-instrumentalist and composer, I specialise in creating, arranging, recording, producing and mixing customised musical pieces. My work is meticulously crafted to enhance and complement the unique atmosphere of films, animations or specific moods.

Video work

Some projects I did focusing on the  interplay between the music and the visual content.

Life in the Ocean
Film music I made for an animation showing an important food chain in the ocean. Large scale video installation for Atlanterhavsparken Aquarium. Animation by Tore Holmem.

Rhodes MK8
Music I made to fit a video and vocal track that was provided by Rhodes. It was part of an event to showcase their new plug-in-version of the Rhodes MK8 electric piano.
