About

Swedish composer and pianist Peter Sandberg has carved a singular place within the landscape of modern composition, blending neoclassical minimalism with the emotional immediacy of contemporary production. His work bridges the space between the concert hall and the cinematic world, pairing restraint with raw feeling, precision with vulnerability.

Across seven albums to date, Sandberg has built an expansive body of work defined by emotional clarity and conceptual depth. His compositions have appeared in major television series including Stranger Things (Seasons 3 and 4), introducing his distinctive sound to new audiences and affirming his gift for evoking profound emotion through simplicity and space.

His forthcoming album, Temporary Coexistence of Humans, will be released on 1 May 2026. Returning to the piano as his central instrument, Sandberg examines the illusion of control - how human lives intersect in fleeting, unpredictable ways, colliding like particles in a vast web of cause and effect. The album’s pieces act as small, vivid observations: moments of connection, compassion, regret, and release. Beneath their minimal surface lies a quiet curiosity about what it means to share time and space with others.

Working from his studio in Uppsala, Sandberg continues to blur the boundaries between classical form and contemporary reflection. His music doesn’t seek resolution so much as understanding - inviting listeners to pause within the tension, and to find beauty in the fragile, fleeting coexistence of us all.
