Mats Erlandsson

Booking Agent : Giorgio Salmoiraghi

As a composer, musician and sound artist, Mats Erlandsson is part of the vibrantly reemerging field of drone music in Stockholm, Sweden, and is associated with practices characterized by the extensive use of sustained sound. Erlandsson presents his work both as a solo artist and in collaborations, most notably together with Yair Elazar Glotman and Maria W Horn. Utilizing synthesized and recorded analog and digital sound, contaminated field-recordings and extensive tape processing his music slowly unfolds sets of precisely tuned harmonic material while textural properties of the imaginary rooms where the music takes form shifts, shimmers and moves from sparse and open to dense and claustrophobic.

Recent releases include Gyttjans Topografi on XKatedral, Celestial Shores made together with Maria W Horn, Minnesmärke on Hallow Ground, the collaboration Emanate made with Yair Elazar Glotman on 130701 and 4-track guitar music on XKatedral. Erlandsson has performed his work extensively at various festivals and music and arts venues around the world. Erlandsson has performed his work extensively, at Présences Électronique hosted by the GRM in Paris, at the CTM festival in 2019 and The Long Now in Berlin, Norbergfestival in Norberg, Sonica Festival in Ljubljana and in various music and arts venues around the world.

In addition to his own artistic practice, Erlandsson holds a position as studio technician at the world-renowned Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Stockholm and has frequently presented electroacoustic music and new music from Sweden in concert.

At the beginning of 2025, Mats Erlandsson released the new collaborative album “Glory Fades” with Yair Elazar Glotman.
