String quartet and percussion
We all have to relate to the much feared threats to our environment in some way. How will our world be changed in the future if the temperature
keeps rising? In the current situation we have to try to change something, but should we go "back to nature" in some sense or will we solve
the problem with technological means? One thing is clear though, we can't go back in time to how it was before.

Here I publish information of the music I've written. I also blog about my projects and thoughts about music in general.
I am a contemporary classical composer and compose music for classical musicians, but as you can see from my worklist I've also done other things - including live electronics, electroacoustic music (eam) and music for other types of ensembles (e.g. a jazz trio).
My works have been performed globally, including Europe, Asia and North America.
