Hi, I’m Simon Staréus Gustafsson, a composer and producer based in Stockholm. I create immersive scores for film, theatre, and multimedia, blending acoustic instruments with electroacoustic textures and spatial sound experiments. I also organize and produce concerts and tours, coordinating artists, venues, technicians, and partners to bring bold live experiences to audiences. I’ve completed advanced composition studies at the University of Gothenburg and have enjoyed residencies and festival roles that push my work toward new sonic architectures, including site-specific works and electroacoustic explorations. I value collaboration, curiosity, and the chance to connect music with film, performance, and technology.
