Lionel Cohen · DNA Productions · Norse Cinematic Series
A Complete Norse Cinematic Collection
Two records forged in darkness, frost, and the silence of old gods. Together they form the most complete orchestral portrait of the Norse world in contemporary cinematic music.
Norse Cinematic Series · Vol. I
Lionel Cohen · DNA Productions
A sombre orchestral descent into Viking mythology. Deep sustained textures, brooding Nordic drones, and dramatic themes conjure longships crossing black water, the weight of fate, and the solemn rites of a warrior age. The record that established Lionel Cohen's Norse voice.
Norse Cinematic Series · Vol. II
Lionel Cohen · DNA Productions
22 tracks of glacial cinematic power. Where Norse Code approached the eve of battle, this record reaches inward — into grief, endurance, and the terrible quiet of a world forsaken. Sustained strings, distant horns, and percussion as cold as iron on stone.

The Composer
Composer · Producer
DNA Productions
Lionel Cohen is a composer and music producer specialising in atmospheric and cinematic orchestral scores. Working under the DNA Productions imprint, he has developed a distinctive voice in the Scandinavian and Norse cinematic space — one built on restraint, orchestral weight, and a deep understanding of how silence functions in dramatic music.
The Norse Cinematic Series — comprising Norse Code and When the Gods Abandoned Us — represents his most sustained engagement with Viking mythology, Nordic landscape, and the ancient emotional vocabulary of the North. The series is widely used in film, television, game, and documentary production worldwide, and is available for sync licensing through DNA Productions.
Cohen approaches Norse music not as spectacle but as atmosphere: the weight of iron, the logic of cold, the grief and endurance of people who built a civilisation at the edge of the known world. The result is music that works equally in quiet intimate scenes and in sweeping visual sequences.
