Solar Fields is the stage name of Swedish electronic music artist Magnus Birgersson. He has released nine albums, and has also scored all interactive in-game music for the Electronic Arts game Mirror's Edge.^[1]

History

Magnus Birgersson was involved in many projects as a teenager, playing drums, various percussion, piano, and keyboards for several bands before launching his own Solar Fields project in 2001 with the album Reflective Frequencies.^[2]

His music has been described as electronic ambient, atmospheric, deep, ecstatic, industrial, yet organic.

In 2007 he began composing the in-game score for Mirror's Edge, a first-person action adventure game by Electronic Arts and DICE, released worldwide on 14 November 2008.

The album "Movements" is used as soundtrack for the Indi-game Capsized from the small Canadian studio AlienTrap Software in 2011.
