Jakob’s main focus is as a composer of contemporary classical music, primarily working with chamber music, orchestral music and opera across Europe.
Alongside the classical they are engaged deeply with various artistic practices across a diverse set of underground cultures. Such as: as an electric guitarist in the Swedish hardcore punk band “Ronöm”, on mixed instruments in the neo-dada noise-duo “Sledge Duo”, as a composer of harsh and lofi electronic music, a writer of multiple novels and libretti, a DJ focusing on hard techno and as kappelmeister and MC for “Cabaret Glans” variety acts including burlesque, sideshow, drag, circus and the like, always with newly composed music by Glans.
