Ida Lundén is a Swedish composer and musician, active primarily in chamber and electronic music. From 2011 to 2013, she served as Guest Composer at Swedish Radio P2 and is a co-founder of the experimental music collective Syntjuntan. Her music has been featured at international festivals including Musica Nova Helsinki, Klang Copenhagen, Piano+ Karlsruhe, Tokyo Jazz Festival, and Nordic Music Days.
Known for her inventive approach, Lundén often explores unconventional instrument pairings—such as viola and potato, or bass singer and double bass—and increasingly focuses on stage works and sound installations, including Orgel and Pygostylia. Her piece Songs My Mother’s Taught Me was nominated for the Nordic Council Music Prize in 2016. She regularly collaborates with musicians, filmmakers, and visual artists.
