David Granström

Swedish composer and sound artist based in Stockholm, Sweden, born 1987. His sound work is characterized by harmonic simplicity and spatiotextural complexity, employing sounds of both synthetic and acoustic origin. In 2014, he received a Master’s degree in Composition of Electronic Music from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and has, since then, worked as a teacher of composition, sound synthesis and advanced spatialization, in part at the Electronic Music Studio (EMS) in Stockholm. Part of Granström’s practice consists in researching new methods for working algorithmically with real-time sound synthesis and precision-tuned harmony, a work which is technically realized by employing tools that he himself develops in the SuperCollider programming environment. He composes electronic music and is working in the field of generative algorithmic composition. He works almost exclusivly with synthesized source materials, generating both sound material and musical structure using the SuperCollider programming environment. He is interested in timeless states of listening and often utilises extended durations and cyclical forms in his music. He also works as a software developer, focusing on audio and graphics programming in different languages and environments. Lately he has been working on front-end web development and with web audio in particular.
