During 2002 he lived and worked at Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart, Germany.

In 1996 he won the Gotland Chamber Music Festival Composition Competition (with Blood, Death and Sexy Legs) and in 1997 the Composition Competition for the Swedish National Radio Symphony Orchestra (with Crop Circles). In 2000 he made an interactive sound installation, which attracted a great deal of attention on the city trams of Helsinki, Finland called STOP. Since 1999 he has been working closely with director Åsa Kalmér making electronic music for theatre, radio and TV (Self-Portraits of Unknown Men - 2003, To Mourn Linnea – 2004, Queen K – 2005 and War Turists – 2008 to mention a few).

Mansoor Hosseini har studerat komposition på Musikkonservatorium i Paris, Bryssel och kortare tid i Göteborg. Därefter läste han filmmusik på Göteborgs Universitet och filmmanus på Göteborgs Filmhögskola. Efter studier för George Aperghis blev han uppmuntrad att ägna sig åt teatral musikstil som till exempel Mauricio Kagel arbetat med.

2007 grundade Hosseini musikföreningen och Ensemble Themus i Göteborg, som har för avsikt att sprida konceptet teatral musik. Hans teatral musikverk är inspirerade av kampsport, modern dans och teater.

Som musiker är Hosseini fascinerad av improvisation och spelat slagverk med diverse ensembler av olika musikgenrer. Ibland använder han improvisationssystemet i sina kompositioner där han noterar musiken på så sätt att musikern får improvisera under vissa delar. En kontrollerad och noterad improvisation. Denna fascination ledde till att Hosseini började göra föreläsningar i ämnen musiknotation, komposition, komunikation mellan musiker och tonsättare, mellan musiker och musiknotation.

Hosseini har komponerat musik för violin & orkester, oboe concerto, blockflöjt concerto, stråkorkester, slagverksensemble, stråkkvartett, och fler kammarmusik och soloverk.

Johan started out as a pianist, studying at the Royal College of Music in London and eventually recording Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Since then he has taken a masters degree in composition for screen at the London College of Music and is currently finishing a composition masters at Malmo College of Music. In 2015 he was commissioned by the Financial Times to compose a new Christmas Carol (The Rune Carol), and he has composed for Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra, Jönköping Sinfonietta, as well as various chamber music and EAM. Recently he was commissioned by Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra to write an octet and by the Stockholm Saxophone Quartet to write for them.
