Fundamental Music was established in October 2005. 'Fundamental' came up when Tormod was searching for anagrams to the name of his son, Amund Flaten. 'Fundamental' is indeed a perfect anagram to his name, thus giving the word a strong personal meaning and assiciation. For Tormod, music is also a fundamental aspect of his life.

The Tormod Flaten Solo Series features the first published works on Fundamental Music and it consists solely of arrangements and compositions for euphonium. Seven of the first published titles are recorded on Tormod's CD's Flight, Norwegian Euphonium and with seven tracks from the latest album From the Deep, Fundamental Music continues to bring out quality music in this series.

The music is in good quality print with coloured covers and well arranged layout. The titles are all presented with downloadable PDF samples and sound clips in the sheet music section.
