Composer Rosanna Gunnarson writes music for acoustic instruments as well as electronic ones, often in combination with each other. Lately, her focus has been on sea sounds and site-specific projects in a coastal environment, including a piano concert on a beach in Stockholm's archipelago, and a concert for pedal organ in Galtabäck harbor (just outside Varberg). During the spring, she also collaborated with the artist Katrine Skovsgaard during her residency at the Röhsska museum. The result was a choral piece that was performed in the museum and at the art epidemic by students from Hvitfeldska high school.
