In 1972, Bodin visited the United States as a Composer in Residence at Mills College, California. He was appointed Director of the Electronic Music Studio (EMS) in Stockholm in 1979 and oversaw its relocation to the Munich Brewery. His work spanned instrumental theatre, text-sound composition, and multi-media, often incorporating phonetic elements and micro-level processes. His discography included the recordings Clouds and En Face. Bodin died in Gnesta on May 10, 2021.
