Landström


COMPOSER
Contemporary art music, folk/jazz and music for theatre.
With a bachelor degree in composition from The school of Music and Theatre in Örebro she has found a little universe of sound and melodies where she sees herself as an inquisitive explorer. Genres doesn’t really matters here. Deeply influenced by the russians (Stravinskij, Prokofjev, Sjostakovitj) she mainly listens to scandinavien jazzmusic and folkmusic and all of it has a big impact regardless of what she writes. As a vocalist, she‘s often thinking of the instruments as voices concerning phrasing, breathing and interpretation. Every instrument should "sing". All of this along side with a love for the perfoming arts and storytelling is the core of her craftmanship and creativity.


RUM/ROOM

Three miniatures for string quartet

RUM was first written for Stenhammar Quartet during her studies, but has also been played by Wirénkvartetten and Malvakvartetten (Malva Quartet, performing in the video). The first movement Disken (The Dishes) and the last movement Drömmen (The Dream) is written in a very direct manner, while the the second movement Dramat (The Drama) is not as literally.  It has been altered many times since it was written in 2018 and Malva is playing the final version (2022). The recording is a collaboration between Malva and Swedish Society of Composers. Musicians are Linnea Viklund, Knapp Brita Pettersson, Maria Jonsson and Maja Molander.

Den blomstertid nu somnar

Folk/jazz project



 Den blomstertid nu somnar (The flowering time is falling asleep) is a take on the hymn Den blomstertid nu kommer (possibly Swedish folkmelody, composer unknown). The project was developed in Ställbergs gruva in Bergslagen during a residency in 2023. It consists of different songs in
a folk/jazztradition with some input from contemporary art music. All compositions are based on biblical metaphors and sacral themes in different ways. The musicians in the projects are:

Kristin Kennemark (folkmusician, violin)
Alice Klint (folkmusician, violin)
Oskar Cederblad (jazzmusician, drums)
Martin Bohman (jazzmusician, double bass)
Linnea Landström (vocals, organ)

Härliga jorden

Livesession, Ställbergs gruva

“Som hjorten törstar efter vatten, så törstar min själ efter dig
En gassande sol, nära är slakten
Vi ber för båd mark och skog
Som hjorten törstar efter vatten, så törstar min själ efter dig
Ett brinnande klot, nära är natten
Vi bönar till fader vår

Kysst av en moder
Dränkt av en broder
Här på den härliga jorden”
