Peter Andersson

There are two artists named Peter Andersson, two identically-named individuals making music in a similar vein. One is the dark ambient wunderkind behind raison d'être and Necrophorus. The other one is commonly known as Lina Baby Doll and is the mastermind behind Deutsch Nepal and Janitor, and former member of Njurmännen. They collaborated with each other in the project Bocksholm. 1) The worldwide highly respected and multitalented sound artist Peter Andersson (born 20 March 1973 in Boxholm, Sweden) has been a composer within the dark ambient, industrial, noise, electronic and experimental fields since 1988 and have a had a great number of projects since then. Peter Andersson has also been working (under his own name) with music for film and exhibitions and his currently working as a technical and media producer at the Swedish Air Force Museum. Some of his film and exhibition music is (or has been) used in their displays. His more important projects include: - raison d'être, Peter Andersson's most known project, formed in 1991as a tool of expression with the goal of self-realization and deeper knowledge of the inner Self. For two decades now, and with a vast number of album releases, mainly on Cold Meat Industry, raison d'être has been supplying listeners with overwhelming dark-ambient industrial drone landscapes of beauty and sorrow with a highly steady inspirational flow. - Stratvm Terror, the harsh side of Peter Andersson, here also joined by his mate Tobias Larsson (Ocean Chief, Catapult the Smoke, Fluidage). This project first appeared in 1993 and have since then become an impressive industrial noise monster machine of terror. This project has almost reached the same acclaimed status as raison d'être. Stratvm Terror offers agressive and loud frequencies for the whole spectrum of the ears that will play havoc with the brain. The project offcially closed in 2012. - Necrophorus, started as a companion to raison d'être in 1991, and is in some senses closest to raison d'être in sound. However, instead of emphasizing desolation and darkness like raison d'être, Necrophorus mostly deals with a lighter and more sensitive side. Also the instrumentation is softer, more relaxed, synthesized and electrified. Necrophorus has done several releases, offering a great alternative to the dark world of raison d'être. - Atomine Elektrine, with thematical interest in the vast space and small atoms, is named after a nuclear power plant and is in part inspired by the electronic space music of the 1970s. Peter Andersson, let out his version of this musical direction in the beginning of 1992, and since then expressed on a number of albums. - Panzar, a project with a special predilection for armoured vehicles. Panzar was established by Peter Andersson in the year 2000, longing for the sound of early BDN and alike. The Panzar music is boiling, grunting and slow with deep noise sounds accompanied by heavy percussion. The Panzar project closed in 2006. - Svasti-ayanam, a temporary project Peter Andersson had a few days in 1993 and 1994, inspired by Tibetan, ethnic, tribal and ritual elements. - Cataclyst, a temporary project around 1992 with Peter Andersson and Johanna Rosenqvist (KOEFF/Institut) combining atmospheric industrial with rhythmic elements. - Grismannen, meaning "the pig man" in English, is maybe the least known of Peter Andersson's projects, but still notorious. In fact, this is his oldest project, from 1989. Peter also have a perverted and bizarre part of his mind which is expressed through Grismannen, though only Swedish people will fully understand the content of the lyrics in the native language. Experimental and funny. Nobody knows if Grismannen still exists as a project. Read more on Last.fm.
