Guy Sweens

About

Guy Sweens is a Dutch composer and producer of World Fusion, New Age and Downtempo music. His music can best be defined as vibrant, passionate, spiritual and saturated with melodic warmth and ethnic percussion. He draws inspiration from myths, legends and traditions from India, Medieval and Celtic history, the Inca Empire and many more. Guy creates concept albums that are a mix of western and exotic styles. In order to create these textures, he uses many different traditional instruments from all over the world, combined with modern synthesizers and technology. Some albums strongly reminiscent of cinematic music. For instance Moon Magic, that is arranged with grand piano, string orchestra, percussion, synthesizers and choirs. Another example is the epic album Odin's Raven, that is inspired by the Viking era. In 2014 Guy’s song “Son of Krishna” (taken from the album “Kamadeva”) was used in the movie “The Letters”, starring Juliet Stevenson, Rutger Hauer and Max von Sydow. The movie tells the story of Mother Teresa. The album "Karmic Journey" was nominated for Best World / Global Fusion Album of 2017 by One World Music Radio (OWMR) in the UK. One year later, the album "Dawn Goddess" was nominated for Best New Age Album of 2018 by the same radio station. In December 2020, record label MG Music presented Guy Sweens a special Music Award for outstanding achievements in global sales and high quality production.
