Composer's Biography
Mikael Trillo Figueroa Lilljegren
Mikael Trillo Figueroa Lilljegren was born in Skellefteå, Northern Sweden, on October the 4th, 1978. From a very young age, he was attracted to drawing, and later on in his life, during his teenage years, he developed an interest in music that came from playing guitar pieces of J.S.Bach and other composers. In 1995, he was accepted both for music and drawing studies at upper secondary school. That’s when he decided to precede with his music studies. During the period 1995-1998 when he was in the upper secondary school, he got in contact with Peter Lindroth, who worked as a composer and a music theory teacher at the school. Lindroth advised him to continue with his music studies by applying to Gotlands School of Composition, where he received classes in composition by Sven-David Sandström and other great composers. In 2000, he was selected to participate in the UNM (Young Nordic Music Festival), which was held in Helsinki, Finland. His work “Wrapped In Mystery”, for a string quartet got performed there and was thereafter published by the finish publishing company “Uusinta”. After he studied on Gotland, Visby (1998-2001) he worked as a guitar teacher for one year and a half, until finally entering the Royal Academy of Stockholm for further studies on composition of temporary music by teachers such as Mikael Ekström, Pär Lindgren and Bill Brunson (2002-2007). The following year he moved to Madrid, Spain where he got selected to participate in “Tallera de sonido y música para cine”, a course focusing on how to compose music for motion pictures. While in Madrid, he composed an orchestra work for a short Dream Work production called “Sprout” (2008). Soon thereafter he collaborated with “Verso”, to record a CD/ DVD of the composers’ music. The records will be released in 2010. He has recently received in honor a gold medal of distinction and a certificate of mastery in music composition - awarded by the National Academy of Music in Thessaloniki, Greece.
