“…its characteristic sound world and powerful emotional impact.”
BIOGRAPHY
Born in Stockholm in 1971, Jesper Nordin writes music that draws on Swedish folk traditions, rock and improvisation. Electronics are an integral part of his work, both in composition and performance. He also develops musical technology: his Gestrument project grew into Reactional Music, connecting interactive music-making with video games and enabling performers to control virtual instruments through gesture.
Nordin studied at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, IRCAM in Paris and, as a visiting scholar, Stanford University’s CCRMA. From 2004 to 2006 he was composer-in-residence at Swedish Radio P2. His works have been published by Edition Peters since 2008, and his awards include the Christ Johnson Prize. His catalogue ranges from electronic music and chamber works to large-scale orchestral scores.
