theremins and t-sensors,
acousmatics, improvisations and compositions
Here I have listed various projects, compositions and performances that reflect the vague, yet somehow well-defined flavour of modern contemporary music. A lot of this work has been conceptualized, if not actually made, at EMS in Stockholm, where I have also studied composition.
I have recently finished working on the opera Kallocain, which was commisioned and premiered at Kalv Festival in August 2010. I am aiming to complete a solo live-piece based around certain texts by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. by the end of this year.
