Andrew Rohrmann, better known by his stage name scntfc (formerly Scientific American), is an American composer and sound designer. His solo productions, which incorporate elements of electronic dance music, hip-hop, and rock, have been used by The Seattle Art Museum, the Sound Unseen Film Festival in Minneapolis and for well-known television ads promoting Hewlett-Packard and Discover.

History

After establishing himself as a member of Seattle's indie rock scene with his band Hush Harbor,[1] scntfc became interested in the idea of using the computer as his primary instrument.

In 2001 Rohrmann formed a production company along with Plastiq Phantom named Polar Empire. They have done commercial compositions for clients such as Nike, MTV, Volkswagen, and AMC. He has completed critically praised remixes for a number of indie favorites including Modest Mouse, 764-Hero, and Red Stars Theory. He has also composed and produced the sound for the 2016 game Oxenfree, and composed the music for several of Broken Rules' games.
