Swedish based electronic music composer and graphic
designer who as been involved in many projects since a
teenager, playing drums, percussions, piano, keyboards,.for
various bands before launching his own project Solar Fields
in 2001 with the album Reflective Frequencies.
Magnus always built a unique sound universe, poles apart
from current trends in the genre, he explores the wide
possibilities of ambient, atmospheric, deep, extatic,
industrial yet organic, cultivating contrasts and subtelty with
brio.
As a high tech sound designer (sampling, sequencing,
morphing, programming,...) and multi-instrumentalist (sitar,
veena, guitars,,,,) Magnus collaborated with several art
galleries and museum, his latest sound installation at
Trabekel (Sandviken, spring 2004) met a great success. In
synchronisation to the work of pictural artist Antonio
Sognasoldi, he presented four pieces which could be
played simultaneously and evolve depending on the
position of the visitor in the gallery.
Ambient as we know it might not be the right label for
his music. Magnus thinks this is the larger definition for
his style and the most connected with his dreams. Thats all.
Not closed on one type of sound, Solar Fields music is here
where you dont think youll find it. Is it a game?
Not really, I rather think it is the simple translation of
his nocturnal life, with different positions,
different landscapes and different matters.
In November 2005 he released his third and fourth album[ Leaving Home ] and
[ Extended ], the later being a limited edition. These two
albums are receiving excellent comments from the media,
opening new horizons for Magnus Birgersson and his true
visionary work.
