Agnes Mot Verden hits the big screen at Den Norske Filmfestivalen Stavanger on March 12th, & will be released in theatres across Norway on March 20th. The debut from David B. Berget, it’s a beautiful story, and I’m so happy to have written the score for it! 🙏 www.filmfestivalen.no/f/agnes-mot-...

Back in 2020, I wrote the score THE FIGHT FOR GREENLAND, a doc about a nation fighting for control of its land and future. Today, with Trump’s push to 'acquire' Greenland, the story is the same: powerful outsiders are interested, but Greenlanders’ voices are clear: their home is not for sale.

A moment for ‘The Silent Lake’ from my 2021 album FIRST. In writing this track, I imagined a huge body of water in the middle of the forest. The relief of silence, trees reflected in the water’s surface. It’s an image that brings me comfort and peace. 🔗 Listen to FIRST: sanchopanza.lnk.to/first
