My works spans from solo to orchestral pieces, as well as works for choir, and installations. I also perform, playing guitars, objects and electronics.

Initially a band musician, experimenting and improvisation has maintained important and natural approaches in my praxis. Deeply motivated by music making as a social activity, much of my music is created in close collaboration with the performers. Recurring topics in my works are imitation reactions, as well as phenomenas of swarm formations, and emergent structures found in nature. Recent years different approaches and inclusions of ways to work with memory has been important to me.

In 2008/09 I was one of the co-founders of Ensembles neoN, a collective of performers and composers. As part of Ensemble neoN I have worked with performers and composers like Oren Ambarchi, Alvin Lucier, Phill Niblock, Marina Rosenfeld, Susanna Wallumrød, Jan St. Werner, and Catherine Lamb, among many others.

In 2022 I was the recipient of the biennial Arne Nordheim Composer’s prize.
