Kim Hedås (b. 1965, Dalarna) is a Swedish composer known for her stylistic range, vibrant expressiveness, and exploration across artistic disciplines. She studied composition at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm (1991–1997) with teachers including Pär Lindgren, William Brunson, Sven-David Sandström, and Magnus Lindberg. With early experience in folk, jazz, improvisation, and electronic music—as well as a stint in the entertainment world performing with author Jonas Gardell—Hedås brings a broad, interdisciplinary perspective to her work.

Her international breakthrough came with the electroacoustic piece Good morning, love – it’s springtime in my heart!, which won an award in Bourges, France. Since 1997, she has worked full-time as a composer, writing for orchestra, chamber ensembles, solo instruments, voice, opera, theatre, dance, and film. While electroacoustic music remains central to her output, she continually expands her sonic language.

Hedås' music is marked by strong contrasts and dynamic movement—from the charged intensity of The Tattooer (string quartet) and Summer and Snow (vocal quartet with text by Kristina Lugn), to the darker, more suggestive tones of Nights (percussion and band) and Under the Air (chamber ensemble). Pieces like Om for Kroumata and Makrob
