Erik Jarl

Country: Sweden

Erik Jarl is a Swedish electronic musician who records as Jarl. He works with an entirely analogue setup of synthesizers, sequencers, oscillators and effect units, building long, hypnotic and psychedelic pieces close to dark ambient. He was a founding member of the post-industrial group IRM and has also taken part in Kaiten. Much of Jarl's recent work appears on the Polish label Zoharum. Hyperacusis deals with an oversensitivity of hearing he lives with himself, and Mind Rotation (2022), part of a series on human psychology, follows a mind sliding into psychosis.
