I'm a composer, sound artist, and independent researcher based in Sweden, moving between acoustic and electroacoustic composition, spatial audio, and interactive systems. I build sound fields that can be entered rather than just heard, giving complex and abstract ideas a space of their own. These are coupled with compressed, semantically dense texts (not obscure, but unfolding).


My work explores mundane and spontaneous sonic gestures, layering them into narratives whose behaviour shifts with the listener's position. It investigates agency within various sound fields: what shapes them, and how much of that shaping can pass to a body listening inside.
