Troels Brun Folmann
Troels Brun Folmann (born on January 10, 1974 in Copenhagen, Denmark) is a composer specialized in epic orchestral music featured in TV-shows, trailers and video games, such as the Tomb Raider series, and commercial/trailers for films such as Spider-Man 3, X-Men: The Last Stand, The Illusionist, 10.000 BC, America's Got Talent and over 50 other trailers. He has worked on the Tomb Raider series with Crystal Dynamics for Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Anniversary and Tomb Raider: Underworld, and the spin-off Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, refreshing for the first time the classical music style of the old series coming with a new way of perceiving Lara's scores, a much more electronic approach and trailer modern orchestral feeling.
He has won multiple international awards, including British Academy Award (BAFTA) for Best Original Score, the Mix Foundation TEC Award for the Best Interactive Entertainment Sound Production at his composing debut for Tomb Raider with Tomb Raider: Legend. In addition Troels Folmann has been awarded the GDC/G.A.N.G award for his soundtrack works. Troels is also a Ph.D. scholar in Adaptive Music Systems.
Troels and Mike Peaslee owned a music sampling company called Tonehammer, a developer of premium virtual instruments for composers and producers. Mike was also in the same production team, as a sound designer, of the Crystal Dynamics main videogames where Troels worked or collaborated.
As of August 2011, Tonehammer came to an end. The music sampling company was split into two separate companies with Troels leading a new music sampling company called '8dio Productions,' and Mike Peaslee leading 'Soundiron'. The aftermath of this unannounced action is that the original virtual instruments library had to be split in two distinct new libraries. The instruments of 8Dio range from epic choirs to epic percussion ensemble, solo vocals to next-generation hybrid scoring tools.
