About this artist

Swedish composer, born November 29, 1965 in Stockholm.

He is a trained percussion teacher, first in Ingesund and then at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. In 1991–98, he studied composition for, among others, Sven-David Sandström, Magnus Lindberg and Pär Lindgren. The studies aroused interest in computer-aided composition, especially in the Patch-Work program. He completed his studies with a one-year course at IRCAM in Paris and wrote in 2003–04 a master's thesis at the Université Paris VIII on computer-assisted composition entitled Présentation partielle d'un environnement informatique de composition en LISP.

He was awarded the 2014 Ironman Scholarship by the Saltö Foundation for the chamber music work Endroits susceptibles.

He lives in Paris.
