The fruit of inspiration and workmanship
The most varied things can be the start of a new melody,
rhythm or lyric:
Churchbells ringing at an unexpected moment resulted in the first bars of Trust… Hunger and tiredness brought out the melody and lyrics to Coffre fort… A wrong note opened the door to the intro of From now on…
I have had many diverse composition assignments for both theater, dance, radio and film. One of them is the commissioned work Penelope, which is a site-specific composition written for the Kulturkvarteret in Kristianstad for Musik i Syd’s platform Digitala Scener. Via a free app and smartphone, the music can be listened to during a miniature odyssey around the block, where each visitor gets a unique experience of the work.
I have participated in several different school projects in both Sweden and Denmark, where we have worked with text and music writing with the students. We have often also used image and art creation as a component and inspiration when creating the songs.
Other examples are the soundtrack to ”Orderi”, a fairytale on UR (national radio P2 (script & directed by Jenny Bergman) and music to some presentation films about the West Harbour-project Bo 01 (produced by Anders Granquist/Good World).
