Jesper Nordin
Jesper Nordin (b. 1971) studied at the Royal College in Stockholm, at IRCAM in Paris with Philippe Leroux and later with Brian Ferneyhough at Stanford University, where he carried out research at the CCRMA Studio. Electronic elements, folk, rock and improvisation inform his music. Conductors Daniel Harding, Kent Nagano and François Xavier Roth, have collaborated with Nordin; the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Basel Symphony Orchestra, Finnish and Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestras, and Ensemble Orchestral Contemporain have performed his music. Nordin was composer in residence at P2 (classical channel of Swedish Radio), who released the CD Residues (2006). He has also released an iOS app – Gestrument – based on his own composition technique, and used worldwide to create music in genres including Electronica, Techno and Jazz.
Jesper Nordin (*1971) studierte an der Königlichen Musikhochschule in Stockholm, bei Philippe Leroux am IRCAM-Institut in Paris und später bei Brian Ferneyhough an der Stanford University. Dort forschte er auch am CCRMA-Studio für Elektronische Musik. Die Verwendung elektronischer Mittel hat seine musikalische Sprache entscheidend geprägt; weitere Einflüsse kommen aus den Bereichen Volksmusik, Rockmusik und Improvisation. Seine Werke wurden von Klangkörpern wie dem BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, dem Finnischen und Schwedischen Radio-Sinfonieorchester, dem Asko-Ensemble und dem finnischen Zagros-Ensemble aufgeführt. Er war Composer-in-Residence bei P2, dem Klassiksender des Schwedischen Rundfunks, der 2006 auch sein Album Residues mit Orchester- und Chorwerken veröffentlichte. Im Jahr 2005 war er für die Komponistentribüne der UNESCO nominiert.
