Ludvig Cimbrelius

Ludvig Cimbrelius is a musician and composer who has been in love with music for as long as he can remember and began creating his own at a young age. He started his recording career in 1999. For him, music has helped through dark times in life and has also been a vessel for experiencing heights of joy and wonder. He hopes it can be a bridge for listeners to align with their own Inner Being, the peace and love that is the essence of who they are.

Over the years he has released music under a number of aliases, beginning with Purl and followed by Eternell, Illuvia, Abraço de Vapor, Alveol, Ziyal, Surr, Rust and Xpire. He describes each name as a lens through which creativity flows, with its own textures and sonic flavors. Some of these guises have since been set aside, while others continue. He has also made music in collaboration under the names Kokong, Hallow Under, and Kian & Ludvig.

Later he began releasing music under his given name: piano songs, vocal ambient and more raw, unguarded expressions that did not fit within the boundaries of his aliases. Dreaming the Night Sky, the first album under his own name, came out in 2018, and eight more have followed. In 2021 he launched his own record label, LILA, as a home for his music. The label has since opened to music from kindred artists around the world who share its intent and core values.

A review by Spyros Patatitzes on the blog God Is No Longer A DJ describes him as a multifaceted, meditative and insightful composer, drawing on influences from Eurythmics and Björk to Photek and Squarepusher. Listeners often describe his work as calming, and his Eternell music in particular as serene, uplifting ambient. On Insight Timer he shares some of his meditative works.
