Music created in studio software

On a few occasions I have created music in studio programs, and most notably during the 2020-2022 pandemic.

Here are some examples of that.

Meditation music on Spotify

Two meditation pieces out of three are available on Spotify.

See below. Another piece is in the starting blocks but needs complements in the form of vocals and violin.

Soundtrack accompanies French horn player

The piece "Röd måne" (eng. Lunar eclipse) commissioned by the Swedish Horn Society, for French horn and soundtrack is an interesting combination of studio music that complements the French horn.

The idea is that the French horn player plays live at a concert to the soundtrack that is played through speakers.

"The creative process is what drives me in composing. Being able to be in that process, listening and writing down what I hear is incredibly inspiring!

I can be completely captured by timbres, their shifts, subtle nuances, a tone that changes and the whole the context becomes something else.

I am often drawn to contrasts, which mutually reinforce each other, and even the seemingly simple, which also adds depth and meaning with the simplicity in itself."
