Magnus Beite

Magnus Beite is a Norwegian composer who’s become a go-to talent for crafting immersive film scores, particularly in his home country’s cinema scene. Known for his dynamic blend of orchestral grandeur and modern electronic touches, he’s scored adrenaline-pumping disaster flicks like *The Wave* and *Ragnarok*, where his music amplifies the tension of crumbling mountains and ancient Viking mysteries. His work isn’t all explosions and chaos, though—he’s also woven delicate, emotional textures for dramas like *Appelsinpiken* (*The Orange Girl*) and the festive charm of *Snekker Andersen og Julenissen* (*Santa’s Workshop*).

A graduate of the Norwegian Academy of Music and London’s Royal College of Music, Beite has a knack for matching sound to storytelling, collaborating with directors like Roar Uthaug (*The Wave*) and even dipping into historical dramas like *Flukt* (*Escape*). Whether he’s soundtracking a snowy Christmas adventure or a pulse-pounding survival thriller, his music feels like its own character—big, bold, and impossible to ignore.
