Dæhlin har i sitt komponist- og kunstnervirke vært spesielt opptatt av instrumental- og musikkteatersjangrene, der utøverens performativitet utspilles i og forbi det musikalske materialet, og i sammenheng med den fremføringsformen som benyttes. Han skaper hybride kunstverk der det kompositoriske og regimessige arbeidet består i å sette en rekke lydlige, visuelle og tekstlige materialer i spill. Blant slike verker kan nevnes Down Under – High Above, The Hinterland Archives, Bildebeskrivelse, On Return to Scale, Desiring Machines, Absence is the Only Real, Her og Arbeidstittel: Lilleaker Folkets Hus.
I 1997 stiftet Dæhlin gruppen NING. Dette ensemblet var i 18 år en arena der utforsking av musikksceniske verk og performative sammenhenger sto i sentrum.
Erik Dæhlin har sin utdannelse fra Musikkonservatoriet i Tromsø, Statens kunstakademi i Oslo og Norges musikkhøgskole. Dæhlin holder graden philosophiae doctor i kunstnerisk utviklingsarbeid.
