Born in 1966 in Täby outside of Stockholm in Sweden, Johan Söderqvist attended the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, studying composition and arranging.

A versatile musician who has been a keyboard player in many different jazz bands and folk music groups, Johan has toured extensively around the world before concentrating his activities on composition for film, television,radio and theatre.

He wrote his first film score in 1991, Agnes Cecilia, and since then he has written numerous scores for film and television, including seven scores for films directed by the acclaimed Danish director, Susanne Bier. Among those titles are the award-winning score for Brothers,After the Wedding and, most recently, Things We Lost in the Fire, where he collaborated with Academy Award-winning composer Gustavo Santaolalla.

In 2005, Johan Söderqvist was nominated as Best Composer by the European Film Academy for his Brothers score. This work was also awarded the UCMF Award for Best Film Music in Cannes as well as the ’Rencontres cinématographiques de Cannes’ Award for Best Music in Film.

Elfish tapes

The “Elfish Tapes” is the first part of “The Elfish Circle” trilogy. It has been dreamt
and conceived as a double record album and consists of fifteen pieces. Three of them are
of spoken poetry, illustrated by electronic sounds and by the sounds of everyday life.

The “Elfish Tapes” album is made by recording onto magnetic tape, electronically
produced oscillations, which, when played from tape, are heard through loudspeakers
as sounds.

All field recordings took place in abandoned buildings in the countryside, in
a fast highway while driving, in a small village graveyard and mostly by the
beach, during spring, autumn and winter. Modern digital computer technology was
used to make the editing of these sounds more flexible.

The “Elfish Tapes” will be released in various formats on March 2010_

In the time since Mazes, Lott has stayed busy composing - among other things - hours of music for dance companies from New York to Paris. But for him, the chant-based concept of the Son Lux debut required further investigation. The Weapons EP is Lott's self-issued challenge to do just that - to use Mazes standout "Weapons," whose primary melody haunts various points of that record, as a launch pad for a complete EP of material derived from a single source.
