Award-winning composer and artist Lisa Nordström began releasing music in the early 2000s with the internationally acclaimed electronic duo Midaircondo. Based in Gothenburg, Sweden, she has an extensive background in classical music, electronic instruments, sound art, and improvisation. Nordström’s work has earned her significant recognition, including the Guldbaggen Award for “Best Original Score” and a nomination for the Camille Award in 2022 for her critically acclaimed work on the documentary Children of the Enemy. She was also selected as “Composer of the Year” by SKAP – The Swedish Society of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.
In addition to her film and collaborative work, Nordström has released several solo albums, many of which are conceptual in nature. Her recent releases include Thunder (2023) and the series from 2022 – Void, Snow, Moon, and Midnight – an epic nine-hour musical journey designed to accompany the listener through the course of a full day.
