Reidar Schæfer Olsen (born 29 April 1985), known professionally as Danheim, is a Danish ambient and Nordic folk musician.
[1][2][3] Olsen was born in Brøndby[4] in 1985 and produced mostly in the electronic genre until 2016, when a strong interest in Norse mythology led him to start combining that with his music.
[6] His style has been described by reviewers as "Brian Eno doing the soundtrack for Game of Thrones"[2] or "inspired folk music, with dark undertones".
[7] In his 2019 release Hringrás, Danheim recorded the last three minutes of a track using only parts of dead plants and animals, as well as some real human bones.
[9] One of the actors from the show, Georgia Hirst, enjoyed Danheim's contributions to the score so much that she released a social media video praising his music.
