Ragnar Grippe is a Swedish composer and electronic music pioneer whose work has quietly shaped experimental soundscapes since the 1970s. Born in 1951, he studied cello and composition at Stockholm’s Royal College of Music before diving into the then-nascent world of synthesizers and tape manipulation. Grippe became a key figure at Stockholm’s EMS studio, crafting immersive works like his 1976 classic *Sand* that blended minimalist patterns with eerie atmospherics. His music often feels like sonic archaeology—layering acoustic instruments with electronic glitches to create textures that are both futuristic and strangely organic.
