Welcome to the website of Fabian Svensson.

Fabian is a composer based in Stockholm, Sweden. He writes music in a variety of genres, focusing on works for unorthodox and unexpected combinations of instruments. Large-scale works make an important part of his output.

His music has been performed by many different ensembles in several countries, and he has collaborated closely with, among others, Ensemble Klang in the Netherlands and Sentieri Selvaggi in Italy.

In 2005, Fabian co-founded KROCK, a Stockholm-based ensemble focusing on experimental music for electric guitars. For this group, he has written a number of pieces, the most ambitious one to date being Tillvaratagna effekter, a modern-day “concerto” for violin soloist and an expanded version of the ensemble.

Three times, works by Fabian have been shortlisted for the prestigious Gaudeamus prize: in 2002 (Expansion - Inversion - Kontraktion - Eskalation for piano), in 2006 (Melodica Madness for 8 melodicas, hi-hat and bass) and in 2007 (the above-mentioned Tillvaratagna effekter).

Born in 1980, Fabian has studied composition at colleges in Piteå, Stockholm and The Hague, graduating in 2005. Besides composing, he is also active as a melodica player, often playing melodica parts in his own works.
