Fluidian (Emil Gherasim) composer, musician, sound artist. His work includes acoustic and electronic art music, film and theatre music, sound illustrations for contemporary dance and visual performances, minimalist textural music, sound paintings and ambient soundscapes.
His music is very personal and deeply meditative, with huge visual emotions, combining minimalist sound textures with a specific manner of improvisation. Due to his playing techniques like wind-guitar (blowing across the strings) or bowed-guitar (using a violin bow), manipulated with electronics and using his own minimalistic textural concept, his music transforms into a contemplative, floating sound journey.
Initially self-taught, he studied and graduated in music composition, mentored by award-winning composer Ede Terényi, at the Music Academy in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. He is also active as a solo performer, improviser and has collaborated with other musicians and visual artists. In addition, he composes original music for theater pieces, dance performances, films and new textural electronic art music for different sound ensembles.
Recently he released Opaque Lights album (2021) created in collaboration with Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen and also Pendular Emotions album (2023) in collaboration with Romanian trumpeter Petre Ionutescu, a soundtrack co-written with Arve Henriksen for Anastasia Isachsen's audio-visual light art installation "Perspective" premiered at Fjord Oslo Light Art Festival, Norway and the "Clouds of Wonder" album with Hungarian guitarist Roland Heidrich.
