Lars-Gunnar Bodin (15 July 1935 – 10 May 2021) was a Swedish pioneer in the field of electronic music during the 1960s, especially in the Scandinavian scene.
[1][2] Bodin was born in Stockholm, and studied classical music and traditional compositions under Lennart Wenström.
With growing notoriety, Bodin made a point to increase the interest in Swedish artistic electronic music.
In 1979 Bodin was made Director of the Electronic Music Studio (EMS) in Stockholm, and he was a prime mover in its transfer from Kungsgatan 8 to new, purpose-designed facilities in the Munich Brewery on Södermalm.
[2] The encounter between language and music has inspired him with several works, and his compositions frequently include phonetic elements.
