Eric Malmberg

Eric Malmberg is a Swedish composer and multi-instrumentalist known for his playful, retro-futuristic synth explorations and quirky musical storytelling. A founding member of the cult-favorite organ-driven band Sagor & Swing, Malmberg carved out a solo career creating eccentric electronic works that blend vintage analog gear with mathematical precision and cosmic whimsy. His compositions often feel like lost soundtracks to obscure educational films, pairing hypnotic arpeggios with titles that nod to science fiction, existential musings, and Swedish folklore.

Recent releases like *Pluto's Five Moons* and *A Journey Thrue a Sine Curve* showcase his love for melodic geometry and lo-fi sci-fi atmospheres, while *Verklighet & Beat* and *Den Gåtfulla Människan* ("The Enigmatic Human") lean into his knack for merging philosophical themes with danceable, cassette-warped grooves. Malmberg’s music feels both nostalgically rooted in 1970s electronic experimentation and refreshingly unconcerned with modern trends, like a mad scientist composing equations you can hum in the shower.
