In 2005 he returned to Norway and started a music publishing company, Lynne Publishing AS and a royalty-free music / stock music service, Shockwave-Sound.

He composed soundtracks for the games Worms and Seven Kingdoms, and for solo albums of fantasy and trance music. His tunes have also been used in television and film.

His music is featured in the main menu screens to multiple games in the Five Nights at Freddy’s series, most notably the first and second installments.[citation needed]

Composition edit

In the later 1980s and 1990s, Lynne worked in the demoscene using the name Dr. Awesome. As a member of "Crusaders" demo-group, he created numerous demo soundtracks and standalone tunes in Amiga tracker format. He made music for Amiga games like "Qwak", "Brat" and some others (see discography for more info) and recorded two studio albums: "Hobbits & Spaceships" and "Montage". Later on, some of these tracks would become parts of his "Decade" and "Revive" albums. In 2014, two albums were released with old, original recordings of his music. Lynne has published occasional electronic dance/trance music under the name "Divinorum", including a collaboration with Aural Planet, called "Power Liquids".

Lynne has composed music for film, including Walpurgisnacht and the C. S. Lewis biography Through a Lens Darkly.[1] He has also composed or designed music for over 80 video games.[2]
