CUSTOM MUSIC
I write and produce music on demand for films, podcasts, events and exhibitions.
Much of my work has been for authorities, and oftentimes they don’t let us who made the content for them announce that publicly, but here are a few examples I’m allowed to show.

LESSEBO PAPER - SUSAN SZATMÁRY
A beautiful, artful collaboration between celebrity handbag designer Susan Szatmáry and premium paper manufacturer Lessebo Paper, where she handcrafted her bag designs with their high-quality paper.
For the commissioned music, I got a playlist of pieces she liked (and yes, Frédéric Chopin was on it), and a description by the director of how he wanted the music to flow. I composed this piece in an early stage of the production, and then they filmed and edited the video to the music.

RCC - CANCERRÅDGIVNINGEN
“I don’t know if I should tell my children… I don’t want to make them worried…
I feel so nauseaus, all the time. Do you think it’s because it’s getting worse…?
I’ve got a lump back here… can you look and see what it is…?”
RCC - Regional Cancer Centrum ordered this film to inform about Cancer counceling. It was a delicate matter to compose to. We wanted to convey the feeling of seriousness and fear, the sense that you feel like existing in a parallel dimension when you get a dangerous notification like this. At the same time we wanted to avoid sentimentality, and instead be like a steady ground, expressing that there is help to get. I used an African thumb piano (kalimba) and a cello.

ARBETSMILJÖVERKET - LÖNETOPPEN I SKUGGSAMHÄLLET
“Top Ten Salaries in the Shadow Society
Who earns the least in your municipality?
3. Joseph - $50 /month, and medicine
2. Miriam - Left-overs and a train ticket
1. Tarek - Mattress in basement
Help us prevent exploitation of humans - Authorities against labor market criminality”
A campaign against illegal exploitation of immigrants. The music to this slideshow video turned into a sound design. Sometimes sound effects tell the story better, and that’s just as fascinating as composing music.

ANBUDSPODDEN
A podcast on how to bid to become a supplier to Swedish authorities, with energetic and skilled duo Johan Svedberg, lawyer and Maria Hägnander, bidding consultant.
They produce the podcast themselves, and commissioned a music kit for it, with Intro, Outro, Bumpers and VO background, all inspired by 1970’s disco hits, from me.
