Fluidian (Emil Gherasim, b. 1973) composer, musician, sound artist. His work includes electroacoustic and electronic art music, chamber music, film and theater music, sound illustrations for contemporary dance and visual performances, minimalist textural music, sound paintings and ambient soundscapes.

His music is very personal and deeply meditative, with huge visual emotions, combining minimalist sound textures with a specific manner of improvisation. Due to his playing techniques like wind-guitar (blowing across the strings) or bowed-guitar (using a violin bow), manipulated with electronics and using his own minimalistic textural concept, his music transforms into a contemplative, floating soundjourney.
Initially self-taught, he studied and graduated in music composition, mentored by award-winning composer Ede Terényi, at The National Academy of Music in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

Fluidian is best known for his solo performances, but has also been collaborate with artists like Arve Henriksen, Tibor Szemző, László Gőz, Ede Terényi, Petre Ionuțescu, Paul Taylor, Sándor Szabó, Roland Heidrich and many more. In addition, he composes original music for theater plays, dance performances, films and new textural electronic art music for different sound ensembles.

Among his collaborative projects from the last years could be highlighted the "Opaque Lights" album created in collaboration with Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen, the "Pendular Emotions" album with Romanian trumpeter Petre Ionuțescu, a soundtrack co-written with Arve Henriksen for Anastasia Isachsen's audio-visual light art installation "Perspective" premiered at Fjord Oslo Light Art Festival, Norway and the "Clouds of Wonder" album with Hungarian guitarist Roland Heidrich.
