Paulina Sundin,

Born in 1970 in southern Sweden, moving at an early age to Stockholm.

After graduating from Stockholm’s Music Gymnasium, she read amongst other subjects musicology, composition, history of ideas and music psychology at Uppsala University. Through attendance at a summer course in composition in 1990 Paulina came in contact with electro-acoustic music and became fascinated with the expressive possibilities of that particular genre. Later followed studies at EMS in Stockholm (where she composed her first eam-piece, Kontakt, in 1992) and the Royal College of Music in Stockholm (1993-1999).

Paulina Sundin was selected as the Rotary Foundations goodwill ambassador to England in 1999, where she began a doctorate in electro-acoustic composition at the University of East Anglia, Norwich. Area of interest: dissonance and consonance and relationship between sound spectra and scales - exploring a new harmony system.

Paulina Sundins music has been played all over the world, both in concerts and radio broadcasts. Paulina is also well established in Swedish music life and has received a number of commissions from Rikskonserter, Musik i Väst, the Swedish national radio among others. Paulina has also worked on individual projects with filmmakers, dance choreographers, musicians, the textile artist Britt-Marie Hansson and other composers.

Currently Paulina Sundin is Composer in Residence at CoMA in Växjö 2006-2008 and teaches electro-acoustic composition at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. She is also a board member of the Society of Swedish Composers (FST), the Swedish Music Information Centre and the female composers organisation OPUS 96.
