Tobias Hellkvist (b. 1984) is a Swedish composer and sound artist. Whilst being best known musically for his ambient, drone and electroacoustic output, where he blends electronic and organic sound worlds together, he's also been active within genres such as punk, folk and indie rock since the early 2000's, both solo and in different bands.
After releasing his first widely distributed solo album <a href="spotify:album:3FAKfUqZQOkIln88iRDere" data-name="Evolutions">Evolutions</a> in 2010, as well as the follow-up <a href="spotify:album:439PS2Rosgopzjk1WGxCYx" data-name="Everything Is Connected">Everything Is Connected</a> in 2012, both on the well renowned ambient label Home Normal, Hellkvist gained worldwide recognition for his music in which he combines dense layers of heavily processed drones and synthesized textures with acoustic instruments and field recordings.
