Solar Fields

SOLAR FIELDS – Movements – Remastered – Reissue

Posted on by magnus

Originally released in 2009, but out of print since a few years, Movements was the sixth full-length studio album by Magnus Birgersson as Solar Fields.
This 2018 version comes completely remastered (with a specific mastering for the vinyl) in digipack CD and, for the first time ever, in a double vinyl version (with the run split into a sea-blue and traditional black wax vinyl colors options).
Last but not least, given the circumstance of the new edition, Magnus is giving it all, adding one BONUS track on the Vinyl, (“The Return”) that was composed and recorded at the times of the ’Movements’ recording session.
The vastness of Solar Fields lush soundscapes is nothing new: along his almost-twenty-year career Magnus Birgersson developed some of the most remarkable examples of psybient music, mixing ambient and IDM in the most natural way. Movements is no exception, actually, it’s one of Birgersson’s work where the studious listener is most challenged: eleven tracks not linked one to the other, where sounds flow naturally, intensely.
Almost ten years after its release, this masterwork of emotive, synthetic music is about to be available once again.

SOLAR FIELDS – OURDOM Preview

Posted on by magnus

Hello all!

Here is a little teaser of my upcoming album that will be released 29 March 2018

SOLAR FIELDS – OURDOM

It all started at the seaside in South Africa where i recently spent a lot of time visiting my girlfriend and escaping the cold European winter months in 2016/17. The majestic nature and surroundings there had a huge impact on me, and most definitely played a large part in inspiring this album.

My intention was to continue working on my other upcoming album during my time spent in Africa, but at the same time I was working on a 4 track drone project for a yoga class soundtrack at Soulshine Festival, which kept on growing and evolving and taking on a life of it’s own. As usual, when i commit to something, i put my whole self into it, and became totally inspired by the creation. This project eventually lead to this 13 chapter album, “Ourdom”, which wasn’t supposed to happen at all.

“Ourdom” is a space where creative freedom rules.

Only months after this trip, and at the same time that I finished mixing this album, ”Dolphin’s Playground”, the beautiful wooden house where we lived and where I setup Studio Green Africa, burnt flat to the ground in massive bush fires which swept the entire coastline.

Now, Solar Fields – “Ourdom”, will forever remain as an audio memory of this house, the magical times we shared there, and all the time that i spent in Studio Green Africa creating it.

The music ranges between various electronic soundscapes and is made with pure creative freedom.
The whole album is composed as one long track journey instead of individual track compositions, and in order to get the best experience I recommend you listen to it like that.
