Rune Lindblad

Rune Lindblad (1923–91) was an early pioneer in electronic and concrète music. After extensive art studies, he taught painting and graphic arts. When he began composing in 1953, he was the first composer in Sweden to work only with electroacoustic sound material. At a time when Cologne and Paris were fighting over the aesthetic differences between oscillator tone music and musique concrète on tape, Lindblad did not see the genres as mutually exclusive.
