Biography

Bo Ingemar Gunnar Hansson was a Swedish musician and composer best known for his four instrumental albums released in the 1970s. Entranced by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, which he had purloined from his girlfriend, he moved into a friend's vacant apartment and started writing an imaginary score.
