Mattias Sköld

My first complete electronica CD which contains electronic music I performed live over the last couple of years, edited to form a complete work that can be played from beginning to end. The title comes from John Lloyd's and Douglas Adams' dictionary The Deeper Meaning of Liff where it in brief means loud and informative (it is also an Australian town). The music is a combination of harmonic noise music and multi-layered rhythmical electronica'.Mattias was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1976. He studied classical composition with Sven-David Sandström and Per MŒrtensson at Gotland's School of Composition and with Pr Lindgren and Bill Brunson at The Royal College of Music in Stockholm. Beside working as a classical composer, Mattias is an avid performer of live electronic music. He is active as a board member of various societies for experimental music, such as the Ra ensemble which combines classical and jazz music, and the intermedia art society Fylkingen where he is the vice chairman. Mattias is a teacher of electroacoustic music, currently on the computer music course at Stockholm University, and he is one of the editors of Tritonus, a blog about contemporary music.
