Composer

As a composer, he has created electronic and electroacoustic music, including Korpus, for two performers, ambisonic speaker rig and pendulum speaker, Heart(nothing) for kinetic sculpture and ambisonic speaker rig and Try as he would, the memory was lost, for electric violin and electronics. He has also participated in many stage productions in which his work has straddled the border between sound design and music. Some examples of this include Forbrent, with co-sound designer and composer Erik Hedin, Hamlet Machine and Underground, both co-productions between Neither Nor and Scènes-Théâtre-Cinéma, in which he created the music and sound design in collaboration with composer and performer Alwynne Pritchard. When working with Verdensteatret, sound and music is created as part a co-operative process involving all participating artists. 

As a composer and music producer, Thorolf has also created music for several short and feature films, sometimes working with composer Knut Vaage as half of the composition duo VATH. He has also created music for many dance shows, commercials and jingles, and has been active as an improvising musician. 

For one - for many - for all is a composition for 16 kinetic sculptures, three human performers and theatrical lights part of the research project Emotional machines - composing for unstable media.

Thorolf is currently composing the soundtrack for a new co-production between Scènes-Théâtre-Cinéma and Neither Nor based on a text by David Mambouch called End of humanity.
