About Lars Willsen - Composer, Synth Artist & Sonic Explorer

Lars Willsen is a Greenlandic - Inuit musician and producer whose work spans decades, genres, and continents.

Born in Qullissat and raised in Uummannaq, with maternal roots in Denmark, Willsen creates music that blends emotion, memory, and texture. His sound moves freely between electronic, ambient, rock, and folk - shaped more by feeling than by formula.

A self - described sonic nomad, Willsen makes music without borders. Whether it’s an atmospheric piece for film, an experimental instrumental, or a driven synth track, his focus is always on mood and meaning. His compositions naturally connect with visual and narrative art, offering soundtracks to both real and imagined stories.

In the 80s, he jammed with bands such as Moon Jam, recorded synth solos for established acts, and even auditioned for Pretty Maids before illness cut his career short. Alongside his music, Willsen worked as a military coder and remote viewer from the 80s through the late 90s — years that sharpened his focus and sense of structure, qualities still present in his writing today. Despite a 30 - year break caused by a serious hand injury, he continued to write privately, returning in 2022 with renewed purpose. That same year, after surviving a stroke, he began releasing new work — a quiet but powerful continuation of his creative path.

Willsen’s music carries echoes of the past while embracing modern expression. His catalog spans rock, ambient, electronic, and hybrid styles - offered not as commercial products but as open sketches from an ongoing story of persistence and evolution.

If something in his music speaks to you, consider adding it to your library or sharing it with someone who might relate. Every listen adds to the journey.

“All my releases are to be considered my demotapes”

- Willsen sees each track as part of an ever - evolving body of work, a personal record of growth, reflection, and endurance.
