Flemming Nordkrog is a Danish composer based in Paris.
As a teenager, he became fascinated with cinema and in his early twenties began scoring films for the graduation students at the National Film
School in Denmark. In 2002, he scored Nikolaj Arcel’s graduation film “Woyzeck’s Last Symphony,” which brought him to France. Shortly
thereafter, he scored the follow-up drama-thriller “King’s Game,” directed by Arcel, and his scoring career was off, working on several productions for Zentropa, including the experimental TV-project D-Day, directed by Lars von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg, Søren Kragh-Jacobsen and Kristian Levring.
To date, Flemming has been credited with scoring well over 100 feature films, TV series, and documentaries from productions across the world.
His sound can be described as organic and cinematic, while at all times retaining a sense of rich melodic and sonic clarity needed to land the
emotional language of a story. Flemming remains firmly attached to the human element and significant role sound and music play in films.
From the voicing of a close-miked woodwind ensemble, to an upfront distorted cello, or the breadth of a larger string ensemble, Flemming remains firmly attached to the human element and significant role sound and music play in films.
Flemming’s eclectic approach and ability to orchestrate a score with a broad palette of instruments can be seen in recent productions, such as the 2024 Cannes Official Selection feature film "Everybody Loves Touda" by Nabil Ayouch, 2023 Berlinale Selection “Seven Winters In Tehran” by Steffi Niederzoll and 2020 Berlinale Selection “Shine Your Eyes” by Brazilian Matias Mariani, for which Flemming received the 2021 HARPA Nordic Film Composer Award.
Recent works include the scores for the pan-european TV-series “Kabul” and French TV-series “Memoire Vive” as well as Lisa Aschan’s Netflix comedy “Thank You, I’m Sorry”, the TV-series “Den Gode Stemning (Secrets)” by Kaspar Munck, French feature film “Hood Witch (Roqya)” by Said Belktibia,“ “L’établi” by Mathias Gokalp, "Sixteen (16 ans)” by Philippe Lioret, “Arab Blues (Un divan a Tunis)" by Manele Labidi, HBO’s “Kamikaze” by Kaspar Munk, and “Moloch” by Arnaud Malherbe for France’s ARTE, as well as hit success “Follow The Money” produced by DR Fiktion. Flemming also wrote, in collaboration with Magali Gruselle, the music for Teona Mitevska’s “Mother”, opening film at Orizzonti – Venice Film Festival 2025.
On each film, on every series, I strive to find its true inner musical voice.
One of the things I really treasure is the sheer diversity being a film composer offers me. Not only when it comes to the kind of story, the genre or style of each project but also, I love to have the chance to work in so many different cultures and languages.
