Sudden death of Berlin-based composer, aged 38
mainThe death has been announced of the experimental Swedish composer Marcus Fjellström, a versatile artist who worked with Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Swedish Ballet as well as electronic and avant-garde groups.
No cause of death has yet been given.
Our sympathies to his family and friends.
Once again, another one far too young disappears. So unfair. RIP.
RIP? You assume he is Catholic. If he is Swedish he is more likely to be Protestant Lutheran, RIP is inappropriate in that case, see below why.

Tragic.
Ironic, that in this case, ‘reanimation’ apparently did not help.
Has anyone contact with his family? Very sad for what happened.
Thought of dedicating in memory one of my upcoming works in his honour.
Hi Benjamin, what a beautiful thought! His father is a friend of mine, I’ve told him about this, and I’ll arrange for the two of you to get in contact.
Skickar ett mess på Fb.
Varmt tack!
I’m a poet based in California and only discovered Mr. Fjellström’s music after his passing. I play his works while I write, indeed it’s the only music I’ve been able to find that actually helps concentration. His motifs don’t distract, they focus. I’ve written quite a bit under his influence and have added his name to the acknowledgements in my next book. I’m truly grateful for this artist.
I am deeply sad to hear this tragic news. may you rest in peace, Marcus.
Mycket tråkigt att höra. Jag var en vän.
(From Dublin) I am shocked at this news, truly, deeply saddened. Such a rare talent, such rare music. I have been evangelising his work with many of my music obsessed friends and beyond. Terrible, terrible…
