Storytelling music

About Me

I’m a swedish composer and sound artist working in Malmö, in the south of Sweden.
My music is very emotional, and created both for ordinary instruments (I enjoy the voice) and computers or electronic devices.
Mostly I work with comissions for musicians or ensembles, but I also write music for the occational film (see below).
Currently I play in a computer duo, inandout .
My music is on several CDs, the most recent with the Swedish label C-Y contemporary .

Buy the record at SwedMIC , or CDBaby , or at Itunes
And most of my scores are available at Swedish MIC .
This is a video from the "Klubb C-Y" last november. The piece is called "I heard behind me a loud voice" and the tuba is played by Kjetil Myklebust. It is an experiment on rythm and pulse, and had the working title "Nagging".
Human Pattern / Mänskligt Mönster is a movie by Klara Elenius I made the music to. The music won the first prize at the prestigious IMEB composition competition 2006, and has been screened worldwide.
