Eric Malmberg

Eric Malmberg is a musician from Sweden. Previously a member of the duo Sagor & Swing, in 2005 he released his first solo album, Den gåtfulla människan. The album consists only of sounds played on the Hammond organ. The album is centered on a musical exploration of the human psyche and the different tracks have names such as "The Subconscious" and "The Dual-personalities". The different tracks are all linked together and form a seamless journey into the human mind. Far from being the product of a loose interest in psychology, these themes are deeply personal as Malmberg has been fighting an ongoing struggle with his own autistic spectrum disorder. He has appeared in a documentary entitled Creative Illness which consists of interviews of skilled Swedish artists who have received a mixed blessing in the form of different mental afflictions. In this documentary, Malmberg speaks of his sometimes manic relationship with music in general and the Hammond-organ in particular. Malmberg has also worked as a cartoonist. He drew a comic strip entitled Hansson & Karlsson i världsrymden, which appeared in the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter in 2000.
