I'm Jonas,

a composer residing in the northern parts of Sweden. My passion lies within the fields of orchestral music. I grew up playing the drums and bashing through a lot of Metallica covers together with my older brothers in the very small, non-isolated room on the attic. Rock and metal shaped my musical taste alongside the awesome orchestral soundtracks from games, films and musicals such as Final Fantasy, Zelda, World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings, Dracula, Star Wars, Sweeney Todd, Phantom of the Opera, Pacific Overtures and Sunday in the park with George.

I studied composition at the University of Music in Piteå and for the first time in my life I encountered classical and contemporary music. The music of Stravinsky, Ravel, Tchaikovsky and Penderecki touched me on another level. The impact of their music led me on to the path of writing for orchestras and ensembles.

I sometimes also refer to myself as an Indie Game Developer. I really enjoy working with games as they involve all the different art forms that I love. I also teach Game Audio Design and Game Art at the community college Hola folkhögskola.
