Maja Långbacka

**Maja Långbacka** is a Swedish multi-instrumentalist, composer, and folk-inspired artist known for her evocative soundtracks and genre-blurring solo work. Based in Stockholm, she’s carved a niche crafting music that feels both timeless and contemporary, often weaving rich acoustic textures with cinematic flair. Her knack for storytelling shines through projects like the *Glaciär* and *Ink, Blood and Socks* soundtracks, where her compositions enhance visual narratives with haunting melodies and earthy folk roots.

Beyond film scores, Långbacka’s solo releases—like *Rötter* (Swedish for "Roots") and *Growing Up Growing Down*—explore themes of identity, nature, and introspection, often featuring her mastery of traditional instruments like the nyckelharpa. Tracks such as *Sweet Ambrosia* and *Find* highlight her ability to blend Nordic folk traditions with modern indie sensibilities, creating music that feels intimate yet expansive. Whether scoring films or crafting standalone albums, Maja’s work invites listeners into a world where every note feels purposeful and deeply human.
