Andreas Söderström is a Swedish multi instrumentalist and composer. He has released a new album called Musiken från Sveriges Radios dramatisering av Bröderna Lejonhjärta which is out via Flora & Fauna. According to the press release, The drama production has won a number of awards internationally, and is directed by Eva Staaf, with whom Andreas has worked in several contexts. The music is released and licensed in collaboration with Astrid Lindgren AB.
When Andreas was commissioned to compose the music, he had just finished building a daxophone (an instrument invented by the German improvisational guitarist Hans Reichel). The lamenting murmur of the instrument quickly became a central component in the portrayal of the evil tyrant Tengil, and also expressed the presence of the dragon Katla.
