As a mallet specialist, Åstrand regularly performs and gives clinics throughout the U.S., Latin America, Australia, and Europe. With his percussion ensemble, Global Percussion Network, he has toured extensively in Sweden, Europe, the USA and South Korea. Åstrand has been commissioned to compose for brass quintets, saxophone quartet, choirs, and big band. On the more spectacular side, he has also written compositions for ice instruments, a piece including fighter aircraft as instruments, tractors, and even an entire building that was being inaugurated. Back to the more traditional, he has composed music for multimedia performances with dance, video projections, and fire sculptures.  Anders Åstrand plays Yamaha instruments, Zildjian cymbals, Innovative Percussion mallets, and Latin Percussion.
