Peter Sandberg & Moritz Fasbender

Description

On October 17, 2026, Peter Sandberg & Moritz Fasbender will perform a double-headline show at Hall 424. The Swedish composer and pianist Peter Sandberg has carved out a unique place within the modern composition landscape. His music combines neoclassical minimalism with the emotional immediacy of contemporary production. His works bridge the concert hall and the cinematic world, blending restraint with raw emotion, precision with vulnerability. Over seven albums, Sandberg has built an extensive oeuvre characterized by emotional clarity and conceptual depth. His compositions have been featured in major TV series, including Stranger Things (seasons 3 and 4). This has introduced his distinctive sound to a new audience and confirmed his special ability to evoke deep emotions through simplicity and space. His upcoming album, Temporary Coexistence of Humans, will be released on May 1, 2026. In it, Sandberg returns to the piano as the central instrument and explores the illusion of control—how human lives intersect and collide in fleeting, unpredictable ways, like particles in a vast web of cause and effect. The pieces on the album resemble small, lively observations: moments of connection, compassion, remorse, and letting go. Beneath their minimalist surface lies a quiet curiosity about what it means to share time and space with others. From his studio in Uppsala, Peter Sandberg continues to blur the boundaries between classical form and contemporary reflection. His music seeks less resolution than understanding—and invites listeners to pause in the tension and discover beauty in the fragile, fleeting coexistence of us all. Moritz Fasbender is one of the many pseudonyms of pianist and composer Friederike Bernhardt. She merges her classical background at the piano with the still untapped field of electroacoustics: the result is a radical collage of special sounds creating an intertwined musical landscape of extraordinary beauty. Her work for countless theater and radio productions, as well as her studies in electroacoustic composition, have significantly influenced the sound language of her current works. Moving between piano and synthesizer, between natural and claimed space, between reality and imagined film images, Fasbender's music goes beyond the conventional, breaking the rules of contemporary classical, neoclassical, and jazz. Recently, Friederike Bernhardt worked at the Hamburg Schauspielhaus as a musician in the productions Orlando and Macbeth. "With Fasbender, we listen to a woman who, in the border zone between classical and electronic music, sets new standards, navigates sleepwalkingly between analog sound and virtual space—lastly captured on her debut 13 RABBITS, released as a split release by Sony's XXIM Records and Edition Dur/Dusssmann. She works with a specific attention to reverberant spaces and noise, using electronics like a chef uses spices. A radical and dark, nocturnal suite. A film score for lonely nights." (Max Dax)
