In June 2014 Erik Bogaerts was invited by the Swedish organization ARNA (Art & Nature) as an artist in residence in Harlösa, Skåne (South Sweden). During his stay he composed music for a unusual formation, two guitars, kankles (Lithuanian harp), electronic drums, bass and saxophone. For this band ‘Mephiti' he chose five musicians with a very strong musical identity. The music is inspired by the lyricism of jazz and finds its influences in classical music, folk music, experimental rock, free improvisation and soundscapes.
