Many of the improvisations that were here on Soundcloud  have 'disappeared' recently because they were recorded with the intention of becoming part of "The Grove" —— 
a somewhat unique  improvisational 'piece' which now resides on my still very new website (caseysokol.com). It is housed in a playful animation of a grove of trees, so that the branching of the creative flow could be seen as well as heard. This is the project that I've been putting together for the past year and it was enabled with the very generous support of the Toronto Council of the Arts.

As a composer Gunnar mainly focuses on chamber music as he finds that his music gets the attention it deserves in smaller setups. Besides his composing he has been making his mark as concert producer. He founded the Sonic festival in Copenhagen with Filip C. de Melo in 2012. He is also one of the curators for the Peripheriberry group and was the artistic director of Dark Music Days in Reykjavik 2016 - 2020.
Gunnar is a member of Danish Composers Society, the theater group 16 elskendur and the Icelandic composers collective S.L.Á.T.U.R..
