For several years I have been interested in how sound and space can relate with each other. How could the characteristics of a certain venue influence the composer's work and be implemented in the composition is a question that I tried to answer through several pieces as well as sound installations. I am particularly interested in venues which are not normally devoted to music performances such as museums, public buildings etc. whom architectures and acoustics could be musically exploited.

In the last four years I have gladly worked with writers and actors in projects where electroacoustic music, vocal performance and theatre could establish a hierarchy of equal importance. Between them can be named a radio-opera What's That? (with the support of SwedishArtsCouncil), a sound installation with one actress on the scene Babette – a dinner scene (based on Karen Blixen's Babettes Gœstebud) and Konvergens (funded by Kulturrådet, Kulturskåne and Författarfonden) for two actors, singer and electronics with live spatialization.

My work around space led my interest towards the open space of the city and the tradition of sound-walk. In my recent residences (InterArtsCenter at Lund University-Sweden and Tempo Reale, Florence-Italy) the soundscape of the cities of Copenhagen and Florence are morphed into compositions; the sound material, structure, poetry and impressions are derived from the recorded tracks. These residences are part of an ongoing project named Morphing the soundscape which aims to create a creative sound map of different cities in Europe.

I completed my music education in both Italy where I graduated in Piano, Organ and Composition at the "G.P. da Palestrina" Conservatory in Cagliari, and Sweden where I completed the master II in composition at the Lund University (Sweden) with Luca Francesconi.

I am currently organist in S.t Thomas church in Lund (SWE).

All my music exists in the imagined world of Delirium. Each new work reveals a place or event in this imagined world. There are no characters in Delirium, rather each piece is the music of the world – of the stones, of the forest, of the mountains. Included at the beginning of each score (presented as a “programme note”) is either a piece of poetry or poetic prose. These are central to the on going narrative of Delirium.

As each person listens to music, and indeed experiences art, from the perspective of their own lived experience, I, as the composer the music which I ask others to experience, can not dictate to another what they see, or indeed hear, in my music.

As such, the poetry or poetic prose is offered as a guide to the listener as to what I experienced while constructing and writing the piece and what I wish to express through a given piece. To what end? As with all art, to communicate my own lived experience and to connect with those that experience my music.

Delirium is my own contribution to what I believe makes Irish Art unique – our long and storied tradition of storytelling. I wish to tell stories with my music but not those of swashbuckling heroes or great legends of fat monarchs. Rather, I present a dark, dangerous and beautiful world. Latent in each piece of Delirium exists a criticism of our shared reality – something, as a queer artist, is of central importance to my work.

Only in the spirit of Criticism can Art ever hope to aspire to the greatest ideal of Change.

Annelie Nederberg is a composer and performer from Sweden currently based in the UK, pursuing an AHRC funded PhD in Musical Composition at University of Surrey. Annelie has a passion for the performing arts and composes for contemporary dance, theatre and film as well as acousmatic music. She also performs with her self-developed gestural feedback instrument and other electronic sounds. Her works move freely between concrete and abstract sounds, between music and sound art, with the human body as an important component; a confluence between voice and electronics into poetic and often slowly evolving sonorous shapes.

Annelie's music has been represented at ICMC; at festivals in the UK and internationally; on radio broadcasts in Europe and the USA; and in concerts in the UK and Sweden. She has been awarded numerous scholarships and is a member of the Swedish Society of Composers.

Swedish composer Daniel Nelson has worked extensively with orchestras such as the Swedish Radio SO, Orchestre National d’île de France, Trondheim SO, Royal Swedish Philharmonic, Nordic Chamber Orchestra, Manchester Camerata, Västerås Sinfonietta and several others in Scandinavia, Europe, and the United States. His Metallëphônic (2002) for tuba and orchestra has since its premiere been performed more than forty times around the world. Mr. Nelson’s music has frequently been recorded for radio broadcasts and CD’s. In addition, his orchestral fanfare Force of a Rainbow has been televised several times from the Swedish Radio SO:s annual Epiphany concert, and more recently by the Royal Swedish PO at their annual concert-in-the-green, an outside concert before an audience of 35,000 people. In 2011 his first opera, Pride and Prejudice, was premiered at the Vadstena-Academy summer opera festival to great critical acclaim as well as an enthusiastic audience response. Mr. Nelson has written a considerable amount of music for dance, amongst other may be mentioned #JAG with choreographer Christina Tingskog which was written for the Royal Swedish Opera in 2016, as well as the two-act ballet The Little Prince which was premiered by the Nordic Chamber Orchestra and Norrdans in 2015.

In 2015, Daniel Nelson received the Carin Malmlöf-Forssling Prize in composition from the Royal Swedish Academy of Music.

Alexandra Nilsson / Solovkina (b. 1979) is a composer, musician and performer based in Stockholm, Sweden

Her work stretches across acoustic and electroacoustic music, sound art, noise and performative practices. Lyrical as well as brutal, minimalist and maximalist, her art extends the very delicate and subtle expressions to the harsh and fierce. She researches materials aurally, visually and contextually, and she is interested in organic and non-organic processes and transformations and transcendence of the material. With a background as a trumpeter in jazz and folklore, energy movement, rhythm and improvisation are also important aspects of her practice.

In 2010 she received a Masters Degree in composition at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. Her Master focused on music for film and she is continuously interested in interactions between sound and image and narrative aspects.

She has composed for chamber ensemble, Big band and orchestra, as well as for theatre, dance and film, and she collaborates on a regular basis with visual artists and musicians/performers internationally with performances in Sweden, Germany, Norway, Japan, Russia and Brazil.

She is a boardmember of SKAP and STIM and member of Fylkingen and works on a regular basis at EMS (Elektronmusikstudion) in Stockholm.

Ivo Nilsson (1966) is a swedish composer, who made his debute with an Octet performed by Ensemble l´Itineraire at Radio France in 1989. Ever since his music has been performed at festivals like La Biennale di Venezia, Chiffren, EMUfest, Enescu festival, Huddersfield Contemporary Music festival, Ilhom, Musica, New York City Electroacoustical Music Festival, Roaring Hoofs, 2 Days and 2 Nights, Sonorities, Spazio Musica, Spectra, Time of music, Ultima, Warsaw Automn and the ISCM World Music Days in Hong-Kong and Zagreb.

Ivo is also known and appreciated for working interdisciplinary and experimental. Recently he composed the music for an adaption into ascenic earplay of Anne Carsons text Red Doc that was premiered at Accelerator in Stockholm in February 2023. The literary references are many in Ivo Nilssons impressive list of compositions inspired by textsfrom for instance Italo Calvino and Nelly Sach. In his music Ivo is elaborating temporal qualities and examines the movement from the tiny to the vast – working with tensions between the intimate moment and the distance. 

Ivo Nilsson was the artistic director of Stockholm New Music festival 2003 and 2005, and he is also one of the artistic directors of KontinentDalsland, a new international festival for contemporary music set in Dalsland, Sweden. 

He is chairman of KammarensebleN and he was elected member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in 2017. He is a much appreciated lecturer and holder of master classes all over the world.

Leo Nilsson född 1939. Utbildad vid Musikhögskolan i Stockholm, pianist, organist, musikpedagog. Kompositionsstudier i Paris, bl.a. vid Franska Radion,                          Groupe de Recherches Musicales, GRM, med Pierre Schaeffer. Studier i Köln vid elektronmusikstudion inom WDR för Herbert Eimert.

LN var en av pionjärerna som utifrån verksamheten i Fylkingen var med om att starta först ABF-studion för elektronisk musik och därefter Stockholmsstudion EMS. Andra studios LN varit verksam i är Andromeda och den egna studion, Studio Viarp. Under en tid drev LN också en elektronmusikstudio vid Skoldirektionen i Sthlm.

LN har arbetat med såväl instrumentalmusik som elektroakustisk musik. Detta som rent musikaliska uttryck men också i relationer till film, bild, dans, teater, installationer, utställningar och skulptur  (se verkförteckning hos STIM).

Som utövande musiker har LN turnerat med Karl-Erik Welin och Mauricio Kagel, medverkat i konserter med Liegeti, Stockhausen och J. Cage. I de Happenings och föreställningar med Instrumental teater som på 60-talet uppfördes på Moderna Museet i Sthlm. var LN ofta agerande musiker.

Bland störra dansföreställningar med musik av LN märks produktionerna med l´Etoile du Nord.

LN har också intresserat sig för utvecklingen av musikinstrument. Här märks en "Instrumental vägg" med taktil avkänning via fotoceller, utställd på Konstsalongen Samlaren 1966 och konstruktionen av den portabla elektronmusikstudion Dataton. Musikskulpturer av LN har ställts ut på Miljölaboratoriet Gärdet i Sthlm. Skissernas museum i Lund, vid Tomarps Kungsgård i Skåne m.fl. Musik till konst- och arkitekturutställningar har visats i Frankrike, Italien, Amerika och Japan. Med gruppen "Pax Art Ensemble" gjordes långa turnéer med konceptet bild och ljud. Också musikens förhållande till naturupplevelse har lockat LN. Här märks installationer vid Norrvikens Trädgårdar i Skåne och Wanås slott.

Inom fältet improviserad musik och "instant composition" har LN samarbetat med musiker/tonsättare som Peter Schuback och Mats Persson.

Ljudmiljöproblematik och lyssnarfrågor har engagerat LN bl.a. inom forskningsarbete vid Kgl. Musikaliska Akademien och Universitetet i Lund.

Leo Nilsson har under en tid av mer än 25 år undervisat inom kompositionsinstitutionen vid Kgl.Musikhögskolan i Stockholm, främst i ämnena musikakustik och musikpsykologi. 

I boken "Musikens Väsen" som utkommer på Themis förlag,Sthlm.våren-14 sammanfattar LN sin syn på musikens evolution och musikens möjliga framtid.

Andreas Nilsson (f. 1993) är en svensk kompositör och accordionist bosatt i Stockholm. Han har en Master i komposition från Kunglig Musikhögskolan i Stockholm där han studerade för Per Mårtensson, Fredrik Hedelin och Karin Rehnqvist. Sedan tidigare har han även en Master från Sibelius Akademien i accordion där har studerade för Matti Rantanen och Veli Kujala. 

I hans musik kan man finna postminimalistiska uttryck där processer av olika slag är i fokus samtidigt som han rör sig i konsonanta harmonier och modala landskap. Verken bygger ofta på strikta grundregler som han sätter upp och förhåller sig till metodiskt, vilket är det som skapar formen för verken. Hans kompositörsförebilder är främst Steve Reich och John Adams.

Andreas har skrivit musik som blivit framförda av bland annat Norrbotten Neo, KammarensembleN, Musica Vitae, Norrköpings Symfoniorkester, KMHs Symfoniorkester, KTHs Akademiska Kapell och KMHs Vokalensemble.
