"Sven Libaek is an Australian composer, record producer and musician. He is well-known for his film and TV soundtrack music and also had a significant influence on the Australian popular music scene in the mid-1960s as the staff producer for the Australian division of CBS Records. Fellow soundtrack composer Felix Ookean has described his contribution to Australian music as 'immeasureable'. Libaek was born in Norway in 1938, trained as both a pianist and an actor and is a graduate of the Juilliard School in New York. During his career, Libaek has had more than thirty albums of his music released. His has composed serious concert works for instruments including the piano, classical guitar, flute and clarinet and he is the Resident Conductor of Sydney's Sutherland Shire Symphony Orchestra. For the Australian Centenary of Federation in 2001 he was commissioned by the Sutherland Shire Council to compose a special work for Symphony Orchestra, Choir and Brass Band, with words by his wife Lolita Rivera. The First Shire was performed at Cronulla Beach in front of 10,000 people in January 2001. Libaek's soundtrack music has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in recent years following its use in the 2004 film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou; thanks to the influence of the film's Australian co-star Noah Taylor, director Wes Anderson selected five Libaek compositions (all originally written for Inner Space) as part of its score."- Wikipedia
