Bio
Sebastian Uth
Bjørn var altid den underlige dreng i klassen, som alle syntes at kunne lide. Hans musik var unik, han havde udseende med sig og charme nok til at lægge et dansegulv ned... Men der hvor jeg bed mærke i Bjørn og hans talent, var da han afsluttede sin uddannelse på konservatoriet og delte noget af hans eksperimentale lyd og musik... Både i lydfilerne og de sets der blev spillet på togstationen i Århus, var noget meget anderledes end det man var vandt til... Det var klart at Bjørn ikke lod sig tæmme af normer eller en følelse af at skulle "please", men at han hele tiden forsøgte at skabe noget unikt og anderledes med sin lyd, som kunne røre noget inden i en... Det var aldrig en "koncert" hvor 1000 mennesker hoppede og jublede over hvert buildup og peak, men det var en rejse ind i noget ingen vidste hvad vi skulle kalde... Konklusion: I alle de år hvor jeg har fulgt Bjørn, kendt Bjørn og bevæget mig i det "elektroniske" miljø, har jeg ikke mødt nogen som kunne tænke så meget ud-af-boksen, som Bjørn... En sand mester af lyd-til-følelser og et helt igennem godt menneske!

Bjørn is an independed, and very innovative sound designer. His flair for thinking outside the box results in well-sounding designs that is rich in variation, and high on quality. He can make explosions that sounds so delightful that you get a big grin on your face. And his sound effects allways has the right amount of "oumpf!" that all sound designers seek after. Bjørn is self-driven, and developed new ways of working with game-audio that improved the quality and our workflows tremendously - often all by himself. Thanks to Bjørn, we got a much better footstep system that was faster to maintain and sounded much better. His setups also improved the sound experience on big groups of NPCs, and he invented new ways of working that made some of our sound systems much more varied and interesting to listen to than they were before. He also mixed a big chunk of our cutscenes, often with very short deadlines and changes happening at last-minute, without losing his head. He shared willingly ideas and knowledge, and I allways felt welcome when I needed help. To collaborate with Bjørn was always an inspiring process that made you see the problem from a new perspective.
