Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Lars Hammer is King Einstein - He comes from a family of professional orchestral musicians, so it was not really a surprise when he started composing in the eighties. Since 1994 he's working in the computer game industry and wrote/co-wrote six game soundtracks since then. Between the contract work he also writes music for private purposes.
