He works intuitively, with a variety of electronic and acoustic sound tools. His artistic curiosity takes him many places, both musically and physically, and he works from a foundation of solid knowledge about composition, audio production and cultural references.Friisgaard recently departed from his ambient alter-ago Hviledag, to widen the possibilities of his musical landscape. He has gone on live- explorations with classical ensembles, ambient church events, as well as into the worlds of clubs and body-shaking soundsytems. Embracing this wide array of sonic cultures and expressions has nurtured a musical agility and ability to create from a deepfelt love for the multiplicity of expressions within music.Anton Friisgaard has released multiple vinyls, cassettes and digital releases on labels spanning the globe, in countries like Japan, Cairo, Germany, Portugal, France, and now Belgium. His work has been presented music at Roskilde Festival, VinterJazz, Cph Jazz, Annecy Festival, Intonal Festival, Strøm Festival as well as venues and art spaces like Gl. Strand Kunstforening, Inkonst, ALICE, Koncertkirken, Super Aarhus. Culture Box, Den Anden Side, Mayhem and more.
