#79: Jesper Nordin - Composer and Creator of Gestrument iOS App

Jesper Nordin is a leading Swedish composer who has garnered considerable international acclaim in recent years. Jesper Nordin has also had huge success with his iOS app Gestrument that is based on his own composition technique.

I sat down with Jesper to talk about his new app Gestrument Pro, which sits somewhere between composition and instrument. It's a beautiful app that makes excellent use of the touch screen interface. Jesper talked about his work as a composer, pushing boundaries of electro-acoustic music, and how he tricks himself to write music he didn't know he likes. It was a fascinating conversation that gave me some new perspectives on creating music.
