about
Eric Malmberg is a musician from Sweden. Previously a member of the duo Sagor & Swing ("Fairytales & Swing"), in 2005 he released his first solo album, Den gåtfulla människan ("The Enigmatic Human").

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 (Hansson & Karlsson in outer space), which appeared in the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter in 2000. The strip refers to Bo Hansson and Janne Carlsson, a Swedish instrumental duo from the late 1960s. Later, Hansson gave Malmberg the organ used on Hansson's Lord of the Rings album. This together with his participation in Sagor & Swing and the fact that Mal
