We are delighted to welcome composer and producer, Ed Carlsen to the Faber Alt. roster.

Playing both guitar and piano, Ed’s early influences were diverse and eclectic. After initially training as a pilot, an interest in music production led him to a degree in Music Technology at the London College of Music, where sound design, and composition for film and visual media further piqued his creativity. Combined with his unconventional approach to playing instruments, this gave his new work an intriguing edge; innovative, exciting and daring.

The music Ed started creating was imbued with aspects from these two disparate professions – the pilot and the musician. It was technical yet meditative, precise yet poignant. “Feet on the ground, head in the sky,” is how he sums up this duality, and his music carries a wonderful, creative dichotomy.
Listening is like floating in a daydream, the curiosity shown in his music – crisp beats, hazy synth washes, delicate electronica – contrast neatly with a reflective sense of intimacy and the blissful serenity he’s become so adept at. 

“It is an honour for me to join Faber Alt’s. roster, in the great company of some of my all-time music heroes. London gave me my career in music, and I’m very grateful to reach this milestone as yet another opportunity from my second Home.”

Ed Carlsen

“We’re really pleased to be working with Ed and to represent him worldwide for both sync and film/TV commissions. Ed is a brilliant talent with many releases and collaborations under his belt, as well as an excellent score for the Amazon Originals film, Ben Stokes: Phoenix from the Ashes. It brings a really exciting partnership with Ed’s label, Sony XXIM, who I am looking forward to working with too. Of course, he also has a great name!”
