Peter Malmstrøm (PAM) has played the piano
since pre-school. Inspired by a Jean Michel Jarre concert in mid 80´s
at the Madame Toussaus Museum in London, he started experimenting with
electronic music. Throughout the 1990´ies Peter spend as much time as
he could in recording-studios in London and Paris studying and learning
recording and production. Peter have worked his way through all kinds
of studios, including among others Abbey Road and The Church as well as
long gone small recording-studios in London’s vibrant Soho, and Paris
Pigale.. Years later in 1996 Peter founded the Euro-Sound Studio as an
outlet for the creative mind and to have a place of his own to
collaborate and record. The studio was small, money tight and located
in a dark cellar in Copenhagen. The place however quickly became a
creative powerhouse with lots of artists giving creative input.
The project was named "Travel" and did get some
attention and recognition but never really took off. The period saw
scores for several student projects at the Danish Film-school. It
wasn’t until 2000 where Peter moved to central Copenhagen and set the
studio up in his new flat that commercial work began to come in and
things started to happen. Peter scored soundscapes for several
media-companies, eventually ending up in documentaries, commercials,
and American soap operas. Working for both indie and major
recording-companies and artists, Peter has earned a reputation for
commitment as well as strong opinions on sound and production.
As Peter put it himself: "To make a long story short I have been involved in music pretty much all my life. I have been working with a long, - or short (depends how you see it..) list of nice artists over the years, famous and not so famous. I..m proberlly better known as Skantkin, - or at least that have been my artistname for many years. Most of my own projects have been written for film, not that I have ever felt it to be my main genre. The last year I have been working with Pelle Fridell, - the most awesome sax-player, and the fruits can be heard on the latest tunes (Air) (2008 Album red.)."
The Albums and recordings In 2000 Peter started using Skantkin as name on his productions. Work have
including scoring soundtracks and taking on the role as producer,
remixer and mastering-guru for some of the most notable artists and
bands (please also see www.skantkin.com for more). Peter’s scores and
soundscapes can be heard in several films in full or in part as well as
his creative production and input on more mainstream productions. Major
works of late include the 2005 soundtrack "Life of Joe", the 2007
soundtrack "City Dreams" and 3 Skantkin albums in 2007, 2008 and 2009 including the hit-single "After The Rain" feat. Pelle Fridell. 2010 will bring new studio-recordings and new sounds from Peter.
