About Warren 'Kaninen' Rasmussen

Warren ‘Kaninen’ Rasmussen (b. 1973) began his career as the in-house editor for National Faroen television broadcaster, Sjónvarp Føroya. In 1983 he was commissioned to compose the score for the channels first late-night television drama, ‘Rædsel fra månekatten’, a horror series with a cast drawn from the islands long-standing day-time soap opera, ’Streymoy’. ‘Rædsel…’ was cancelled after only two episodes, and may have enjoyed a cult following in the Home Video boom of the late 80’s (a fate that befell numerous other short-lived Nordic dramas of the time), were it not for the Tinganes fire of 1987. The fire destroyed the warehouse in which many of Sjónvarp Føroya’s master tapes were stored, and for many years ‘Rædsel Fra Månekatten’ was considered lost. However, in 2017 the Listasavn Føroya gallery, whilst organising a temporary exhibition to celebrate Faroean culture, unearthed a box of fire-damaged reels containing the series’ original soundtrack. Though partially destroyed, painstaking reconstruction over the last 3 years has allowed us to recover over 30 minutes of original cues from the series, available now for the first time on DAAM. With much of the original material significantly damaged, Daniel Alexander Hignell-Tully (Distant Animals) has restored the spirit of Rasmussen's composition, working with the composer to add in some more contemporary production methods where the original stems have not survived. https://difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/r-dsel-fra-m-nekatten Artist with releases on Difficult Art & Music, pretty sure it's an alias of Distant Animals.
