Geniet från Malmberget: Bo Nilsson (1964)

"The Genius from Malmberget" - a portrait of the Swedish composer and lyricist, Bo Nilsson (1937-2018). He attracted considerable attention with compositions characterized by their refined and unusual instrumentation. In the late 1950s Nilsson composed a twelve-page score for his first electronic work, Audiogramme, with only radio broadcasts and the published score of Stockhausen's Studie II as sources upon which to draw, since he did not have access to electronic equipment at that time. Because he has chosen to live in the small town of Malmberget, he received the journalistic epithet "the genius from Malmberget".
