Overview

“À l’œuvre” is a series of events at the Swedish Institute, where we invite an artist to intervene in the current exhibition. Here, Erik Gärdefors (Grift) responds in music to “Soleil et Lune. Andreas Eriksson en dialogue avec Ivan Aguéli”.

Within the exhibition “Soleil et Lune”, which sets Andreas Eriksson’s monumental, organic work against Ivan Aguéli’s small, light-drenched formats, Erik Gärdefors (Grift) unfolds his sound travelogue. Drawing on electroacoustic sounds, field recordings and audiovisual ambiences, he creates atmospheres in which imminent moments and unexpected memories surface.

Deeply attached to his native region of Västergötland, in Sweden, Erik Gärdefors (Grift) composes a universe blending sounds and ambient landscapes, inspired by a flora, fauna and folklore often forgotten by modern humankind. The result is an eclectic, partly uncontrollable music that only obscure forces seem able to tame.

With more than ten years spent on the road, Erik Gärdefors is now a sought-after live performer, who plays largely solo. The singularity of his personal universe has taken him to numerous festivals and events, among them Roadburn Festival (Netherlands), Fekete Zaj Fesztivál (Hungary), L’Homme Sauvage (France), Fortress Festival (United Kingdom), Hradby Samoty (Slovakia), Culthe Fest (Germany) and Mystic Festival (Poland).
