Erik Griswold is an American-born, Australia-based composer and pianist whose work dances between experimental jazz, contemporary classical, and playful improvisation. Known for his love of prepared piano (think screws, erasers, and whimsical objects transforming the instrument's sound), Griswold crafts music that evokes landscapes both physical and emotional—titles like *Four Places in Queensland* and *Unnamed Road* nod to his fascination with Australiana and wandering soundscapes. He’s half of the adventurous duo Clocked Out with percussionist Vanessa Tomlinski, and his releases, from the meditative *Sunshowers* to the gritty *Anatomical Heart*, showcase his knack for balancing spontaneity with meticulous craftsmanship. Whether through the haunting minimalism of *Wolf Moon* or the dreamy chaos of *Ecstatic Descent*, Griswold’s music feels like a conversation between tradition and experimentation—always unexpected, always alive.
