Kjell Nordeson, PhD, is a Swedish percussionist and educator currently living in San Francisco, California.
In 1986 Nordeson formed AALY Trio, together with fellow Swede Mats Gustafsson. AALY Trio became one of the leading groups in the Swedish experimental scene in the 90’s.
Nordeson has toured extensively in Europe, North America, North Africa and Japan with various groups; altogether over 1200 performances in around 30 different countries, and recorded over 50 CDs. He has performed with Peter Brötzmann, Barry Guy, Ken Vandermark, Sten Sandell, Joe Morris, William Parker, Paul Rutherford, Martin Küchen, Gerry Hemingway, Christer Bothén, Frank Gratkowski, Stefano Scodanibbio, Mark Dresser, and many others.
In 1994 he founded Co. Alba with choreographer Nathalie Ruiz. Co. Alba is a platform for Nordeson’s work as a composer. Ruiz and Nordeson have jointly produced numerous dance performances; their latest piece, a short film entitled Désiré, was commissioned by Swedish Television.
Nordeson has worked as musician and composer in numerous theatre performances at Sweden’s Dramaten (Royal Dramatic Theater), Riksteatern (National Theater), and Stockholm's Stadsteater (City Theater).
