Biography

Tobias Enhus began his musical journey as a child fascinated by sound. Raised in both Sweden and the Middle East, Enhus developed an early taste for both the organic and the more technological aspects of music.

By the time he was 19, Enhus had already scored several commercials for Swedish TV and radio, and with a career in music seeming inevitable, he enrolled at Lund University to study acoustics and music psychology.

After a year long break for national service, where Enhus served as an officer in the Swedish Air Force, a brief trip to the US led Enhus to visit the campus of Berklee College of Music in Boston where he immediately decided to do whatever it took to enroll.

Five years later, he emerged with a dual degree in Music Production Engineering and Music Synthesis, the Peter Gabriel Award for Outstanding Music Production, and with his composition ?Perfect Harmony? being signed up for the Berklee 2000 Showcase Album.

His later work with C-Sound Synthesis led to his piece ?The Electric Priest? being included in MIT?s The C-Sound Book, and later being used in lecture series around the world.

After relocating to Los Angeles in 2000, Enhus was hired to work at Media Ventures and soon found himself providing compositions and sonic landscapes for films such as Traffic, Black Hawk Down, The Mothman Prophecies, Rendition and the TV series The Dead Zone.

After a further two years working with the award winning sound design and music supervision house Machinehead, where Enhus scored Peter Chung?s Dark Fury (the Chronicles of Riddick), the Lionsgate film Blind Horizon and games such as Matrix: The Path of Neo (for Atari) and Full Spectrum Warrior (for Pandemic), Enhus went on to be lead composer on his first full length feature film Edison, starring Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey, which was released late Spring 2006. In February of 2006, Enhus began working in his own studio and moved his representation to 3AM, home of fellow composers Akihiko Matsumoto, The Crystal Method and Paul van Dyk. His most recent projects include creating the dynamic score for Activision?s Spiderman 3 videogame, as well as composing all music for back-to-back Russian blockbusters, Paragraph 78, parts I and II, the first of which premiered in Russia February 2007. On top of scoring for film, television and video games, Tobias has infiltrated the world of music for commercials. After 5 years of freelancing for commercial music houses and scoring campaigns for clients such as: Coke, Lexus, O2, Dolby, Cisco, and Mercedes, Tobias Enhus and H. Scott Salinas teamed up to go on their own, launching Critical Mass, in January of 2008. From its inception, the venture has already landed Sony PlayStation?s ?God of War? and ?MLB 08? (Deutsch), Clorox?s, ?Greenworks? (DDB San Francisco), as well as a series of spots for HP?s new collaboration with Mike Rove of Discovery Channels? ?Dirty Jobs? (McCann Erickson, San Francisco).

Furthermore, a true pioneer of sound, Tobias recently released a new innovative sound library available for sale to the public. These are original sounds made with the iconic classic synthesizer, NED Synclavier. A historic machine, resurrected and re programmed in a modern cinematic style.
