I always wanted to work with Erik Hedin after experiencing his music
that struck me as extremely strong and emotional. Erik Hedin's music in HAN is
an invaluable part of the film. The music complements and challenges the film's
themes and builds up under the film's emotional subtext.It has been a fantastic
collaboration with Hedin who has followed the project and worked in process
with the music since we started editing the film. His work is both grasping the
film's artistic expression as well as bringing in new elements through his bold
use of rhythms, instruments and composition. This lifts the film up to
something greater.

HIM is a film about different male persons not finding their place
in contemporary society. I wanted the music to be a bit odd, also striving with
finding its place. But at the same time beautiful, with a catchy rhythm and a
raw tone from acoustic instruments and synthesisers. I do find inspiration in
the work of great minimalistic composers such as Arvo Pärt and Philip Glass,
but also music technology acts like Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode.
Composer Erik Hedin
