Biography

Sweden (2001 – present)

Solar Fields is the music project of Magnus Birgersson, a music composer and graphic designer from Sweden. He built a unique sound universe by exploring the wide possibilities of , atmospheric, deep, ecstatic, industrial yet organic, cultivating contrasts and subtlety with brio. Before starting Solar Fields in 2001, Magnus has been involved in many projects since a teenager, playing drums, percussion, piano, keyboards, for various bands.

As a “high tech” sound designer (sampling, sequencing, morphing, programming) and multi-instrumentalist (sitar, veena, guitars), Magnus collaborated with several art galleries and museums. His latest sound installation at Trabekel (Sandviken, Spring 2004) met a great success: in synchronization to the work of pictorial artist Antonio Sognasoldi, he presented four pieces which could be played simultaneously and evolve depending on the position of the visitor in the gallery.

Magnus Birgersson signed with Ultimae Records and released in 2001 his debut album, Reflective Frequencies. In November 2005, the two albums Leaving Home and Extended were released, the latter being a limited edition. These albums are receiving excellent comments from the media, opening new horizons for Magnus and his true visionary work.

Next Solar Fields’ album was Earthshine, issued in 2007. It was followed in 20 January 2009 by Movements. This album contains his most popular track, “Sol”.

    Listening more deeply to Origin #2 of late. Stunning piece of work.

    Magnus...the genius of electronic sound production. "Mirror's Edge Original Video Game Score" is really life-changing.

    What is the big deal about scrobbling with the dates in the titles of the Origin tunes? That is the way they were officially released so that is how they should be scrobbled IMO.

    My very own 'ambient' project... http://www.last.fm/music/S⊙l I don't want to force anyone to take a listen... But it would really mean a lot to me if u could just take some time, listen and give feedback.

    @pfs1 I'm afraid that that's Spotify's doing, don't go hating on the listener!

    Asteroid has this really cool retro-70's "pink-floyd-y" vibe to it, that is growing on me.

    "I was really hoping people would scrobble these without the dates" [2] I personally put the dates in the mp3 metadata. Makes more sense there.

    Seems like everyone's favourite from the new album so far is "The Missing", but I think "Landform" might be mine :) | I'm loving Mystic Science!!
