PerMagnus Lindborg is a composer, sound artist and researcher. He is a member of the Norwegian Society of Composers and assistant professor at School of Art, Design and Media, Singapore, and currently pursuing doctoral studies at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. Lindborg studied piano performance before concentrating on composition, obtaining degrees from Oslo (Music Academy) and Paris (IRCAM and Paris-4). In a creative career spanning two decades, he has signed more than 60 artworks, presented live in 23 countries. Selected works have been released on ECM Records, Daphne Records, and Ash International.
Highlights include a First Prize at Stavanger Symphony Orchestra Competition 2002 for “Khreia”, the Audience Prize at Forum-Montreal 1996, as well as commissions from Centre Pompidou 2002 and the Norwegian Cultural Ministry 2012. He was a featured composer at WOCMAT 2012 in Taiwan, and as member of ‘freq-out’, made sound installations at Stedelijk Museum, Stockholm Museum of Modern Art, and Niemeyer’s French Communist Party headquarters.
Lindborg’s main research interests include psychoacoustics, computer-assisted composition, interactive performance, and multimodal perception. IRCAM-Delatour included a chapter by Lindborg in the OM Composer’s Book 2008. Peer-reviewed articles have been published by LNCS-Springer Verlag, eContact, and NASS, and in proceedings of ICMC, ICME, and ICMPC. While at NTU, Lindborg has led research projects, including two AcRF Tier 1 grants, and several production grants. Together with long-time collaborator Joyce Beetuan Koh, he designed Southeast Asia’s hitherto largest 3D surround sound diffusion system with 65 loudspeakers for “On the String” at the Singapore Arts Festival 2010. They then made “The Canopy”, an interactive 3D sound sculpture installation, exhibited at ICMC 2011, and “When We Collide” in 2013.
Current art projects include “TimeTravel” a telematic performance with Norwegian collaborators, and participation at Nordic Music Days in Finland 2013. In his research, Lindborg investigates perception of semi-designed sonic environments such as Singaporean servicescapes.
In his spare time, PerMagnus enjoys outdoor sports such as sailing, scuba diving and kayaking. He lives in Singapore since 2007 with wife Joyce Beetuan Koh, also a composer, and daughter Älvi Weiyu, born 2003.
