New composer: Jakob Svartengren

We are, least to say, overwhelmed by the opportunity to work with the creative, complex and uncompromisingly inventive music of Jakob Svartengren!



Jakob Svartengren, born 1980, is currently living in Gothenburg and studied at the Gotland School of Music Composition and the Academy of Music and Drama at the University of Gothenburg, among others. 

As a composer he is interested in contrasts, hyperboles, contradictions, inconsistencies, ambiguities, artificiality, mass effects and maximalism. He is working with both acoustic and electronic music.

Jakob's piece 171118, specially written for Ensemble Dasein, will be premiered the 6/10-18 at Pygmeeteatern (Sthlm) in a program of new music by Nordic composers.

New composer: Simon Spurrier

A recent colorful addition to our repertoire is the composer Simon Spurrier, whos rhythmic, physical and highly expressive music will be on our program of composers for autumn 2018!


Simon Spurrier (b. 1983) approaches music in respect to a groundwork of the Apollonian-Dionysian dichotomy. Picturing and reviewing music choreographically suggests an anatomical chart crucial to what to be technically but nevertheless emotionally expressible. 

Simon has been studying composition at Gotland School of Music Composition and at the Academy of Music and Drama at the University of Gothenburg. His works has been performed by ensembles such as Faint Noise, Karlsson-Holmertz and Mimitabu. He is also a co-founder of the instrumental rock group Sickoakes.

Simons piece Eros Agoni, specially written for Ensemble Dasein, will be premiered the 6/10-18 at Pygmeeteatern (Sthlm) in a program of new music by Nordic composers.

New Composer and Video-Artist: Sebastian Ingvarsson & Anna Risell


One of our exciting interdisciplinary collaborations for 2018/19 is together with composer Sebastian Ingvarsson and video-artist Anna Risell!

Parallelly they've created music and video which are both autonomous pieces and possible to be performed simultaneously; which will be the case at our premiere of their works at the 4/10 at HSM (Gothenburg) and 6/10 at Pygmeteatern (Sthlm).


Sebastian Ingvarsson is a composer whose main focus revolves around chamber-music. His compositions often build upon models from other art forms, such as literature, poetry, and film. Questions concerning musical form is essential in his work, where he strives for a dialectic syntax, a music where everything is in constant transformation.


Sebastian's piece "Punctuated Equilibria", specially written for Ensemble Dasein, will be premiered the 6/10-18 at Pygmeeteatern (Sthlm) in a program of new music by Nordic composers.






Anna Risell
is an architect and artist living in Gothenburg. She views her artistry as a search for space-creating processes where the performative element is central. She uses her own body as instrument and tool, where the pen and pencil become natural extensions to communicate her experiences. Through image and text, she reflects upon social dynamics in different spaces and finds inspiration through psychology, sociology, and hippology.

Annas video-artwork "Reverie" will be premiered together with Sebastian Ingvarssons "Punctuated Equilibria" during the premiere at 6/10-18 at Pygméteatern (Sthlm).
