Ivan Blomqvist

Composer

Music for piano and electronics

Ivan Blomqvist is a composer and pianist based in Oslo. His work moves between acoustic piano, electronics and spatial textures, shaped by timbre, structure and emotional nuance. He often works at the intersection of composition and improvisation, creating music that balances clarity and openness.

Originally from Sweden, he moved to Norway to study at the Trondheim Music Conservatory, where he graduated in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in jazz piano.

In recent years, he has focused on his own artistic practice alongside selected collaborations, working across concert music, studio projects and interdisciplinary collaborations.

His music has been developed and performed both in his own projects and in collaboration with a range of Scandinavian artists, and he received a Norwegian Grammy nomination with the group Rohey (2017).

“The writing by the Swedish musician and main brain here Ivan Blomqvist is extraordinary… ever adaptable and yet not dumbing down in the process”
