Leif Elggren

Active since the late 1970s, Leif Elggren has become one of the most constantly surprising conceptual artists to work in the combined worlds of audio and visual. A writer, visual artist, stage performer and composer, he has many albums to his credits, solo and with the Sons of God, on labels like Ash International, Touch, Radium and his own Firework Edition Records. His music, often conceived as the soundtrack to a visual installation or experimental stage performance, usually presents carefully selected sound sources over a long stretch of time and can range from mesmerizingly quiet electronics to harsh noise. His best known conceptual project is the foundation in 1992 of the Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland, of which he is co-regent with Carl Michael Von Hausswolff.
