Finding Hygge (Original Score) [2019]

An original, feature-length documentary exploring Denmark’s secret to happiness. Hygge, the Danish art of creating joy and coziness in life’s everyday moments, exploded in popularity amidst growing division and distrust around the world. This globe-trotting film presents a surprising, funny, and often philosophical collection of characters who share the meaning of Hygge and how to find happiness. If you loved the documentary on Hygge, then you simply must experience the accompanying original soundtrack from composer Marc Stoeckle. This album is a work of true beauty, featuring ethereal piano, string and guitar compositions that perfectly capture the warmth and contentment of Danish living. Listen as the music sweeps you away to a cozy corner of Copenhagen, where you can forget your troubles and simply be. As the film’s director says:

I’m stunned when I listen to this. I can hardly believe that so many incredible things have come from what started as random, half-baked idea to produce a documentary on a word we couldn’t even pronounce. Granted, Marc is so talented I’m sure he could have composed something just as beautiful for someone or something else over the last several months, but I’m really grateful for the opportunity to pair his music with our film.
