At solidskillsy., our strategic approach to film music and sound is grounded in the profound expertise of Robin Rolfhamre (PhD). As a Full Professor of Music Education at the University of Agder in Kristiansand, Robin brings an exceptional understanding of musicology and performance, having taught and supervised both performers and scholars at Masters and PhD levels, specialising in orchestral music, organology (the scientific study of musical instruments), rhetoric, performativity, and performance practice, particularly for instruments like European and world lutes (ca. 1400–1700) and classical guitar.

Robin's extensive research in Music Pedagogy, Early Music Performance Studies, and Organology provides deep insight into the very nature of sound and instrumental texture. This academic rigour underpins our ability to craft bespoke scores that are not only theoretically solid, but also embody a profound, practical understanding of an orchestra's inner workings and the unique capabilities of each instrument. His award-winning research, recognised by the Agder Academy of Sciences and Letters, further validates this commitment to excellence.

Beyond the academic realm, Robin is an acclaimed performer with several albums and international concert experience, giving him a unique, hands-on perspective on music creation and the nuances of live performance. His original compositions have been performed with prestigious ensembles like the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra and The Swedish Wind Ensemble, and have been featured at renowned events such as the Ultima Contemporary Music Festival, Geiger Festival and Stockholm New Music Festival. In 2017, I was invited to supervise University of California’s (UCLA) Early Music Ensemble for a concert project. Robin's tenure as conductor for the Norwegian Flute Ensemble (2010–2015) further showcases his deep, and wide, engagement with ensemble dynamics and rhetoric.

This distinctive blend of academic depth, practical performance, and compositional artistry enables solidskillsy. to infuse your project with a sophisticated musical rhetoric and an unforgettable sonic identity. We craft scores that leverage the full potential of instrumentation for maximum immersion and momentum, ensuring your film makes a truly lasting statement, bringing Hollywood quality to any project, anywhere.
