He is known for his alternative solo-project Lights & Motion, in which he plays all the instruments and writes all the music, as well as produces and mixes. Franzén created the project in 2012 as a result of a longer period insomnia and gained worldwide recognition when his music was featured in Google's commercial at the Oscars in 2013.[1] His music has since been featured in multiple Hollywood trailers, fashion shows, commercials and TV productions.[2]
