Peter Sandberg

“Even the smallest gesture can shift the course of another’s world”; this is the magical truth that the Swedish composer, pianist and multi-instrumentalist Peter Sandberg has instilled in his new album, Temporary Coexistence of Humans. Each of the thirteen original pieces sketches a profound portrait of one of the many distinct forms of connection that we as humans experience in our everyday lives. Some of these focus on interactions with the world around us—a dance with a stranger or a fleeting moment of affection—while others are more intimate ruminations about self-doubt or identity. Performing on solo piano, Peter Sandberg invites us into the chaotic wonder of humanity and what it means to navigate this world of precarious, yet beautiful, chance. As with his previous recordings, Peter Sandberg developed this project from his studio in Uppsala. His compositional style lies somewhere between stage and cinema, blending classical form and neoclassical minimalism with the storytelling and sentiment of contemporary media. Peter Sandberg has written music featured in seasons three and four of the record-breaking Netflix series Stranger Things, as well as commercials for brands including Volvo, Tesla and Vox. His body of work has amassed more than 500 million streams across digital platforms to date. The journey begins in October 2025 with the first single, followed by more tracks leading up to the full album release on May 1, 2026, via Warner Classics.
