Fabian Svensson is a composer based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Unusual instrumentations is a recurring feature of Fabian's music, and his work list includes a ukulele duo, a solo toy piano piece and a piece for 8 melodicas, hi-hat and bass. In his hour‑long work "Tillvaratagna effekter", he reinvents the violin concerto - with 2 recorders, 2 melodicas, 6 electric guitars, 2 bass guitars and timpani backing up the soloist.
Fabian's music has been programmed at international festivals such as Stockholm New Music, MATA Festival in New York, Carlsbad Music Festival in California, and the 2010 ISCM World New Music Days in Sydney. Four times (in 2002, 2006, 2007 and 2010) works by Fabian have been shortlisted for the Dutch, prestigious Gaudeamus prize. Fabian has worked with ensembles such as the Calder Quartet in the USA, Sentieri selvaggi in Italy and Ensemble Klang in the Netherlands.
