Sture Ericson

Bio:

The Electrics has existed since 2000 and has a distinct sound and musical profile of its own. Inspired by the jazz and free-jazz tradition as well as European Improv and contemporary composers the group "shift smoothly across adjacent genres, edging over from free jazz simmer to intricate small sound mosaics. They vary pace and dynamics expertly, and the energy flow is unaffected by their collective descent to the molecular level of buzz, tap, purr and whirr. It..s a total musical conception fully realized by highly skilled players who impose no limits on their instruments". (The Wire) The Electrics has so far released two cd..s: "Chain of Accidents" and "Live at the Glenn Miller Café", both on Ayler Records. The group has been touring in Euope and North America and played at mayor international festivals in Vacouver, Seattle, Nickelsdorf, Tampere and Mulhouse. "should be recogized withour qualifications as an identifying archetype of top-flight improvisation". (Coda)
