Bioplex 6 – Per Svensson
With his partiality for open areas and natural environments, Swedish artist Per Svensson uses nature for inspiration to create works of art which are both complex and poetical. Based on extensive observation of biological systems he realizes sound pieces, live audio and video performances, drawings and unique installations in which science is always close to the occult. Creator of what he calls alchemic platforms, Svensson elaborates new geometrical forms, inspired by the fractal development of nature, and seeks to make new dimensions visible. Bioplex 6 is an example of an alchemic platform, itis composed of multiple elements and reflects a new stage in the artist’s research. Among its numerous references to mathematics—but also to numerology and occultism—the number 6 refers to the sixth dimension obtained by the shadows projected by the three-dimensional geometric mobiles on the wall, which form a new structural architecture.
Adepte des grands espaces et des environnements naturels, le Suédois Per Svensson s’inspire de la nature pour créer des œuvres d’art à la fois complexes et poétiques. A partir de l’observation minutieuse du système biologique, il réalise des bandes sonores, des performances live audio et vidéo, des dessins et des installations singulières dans lesquelles la science avoisine toujours l’occulte. Créateur de plateformes alchimiques, telles qu’il les nomme, Svensson élabore de nouvelles formes géométriques, inspirées du développement en fractale de la nature, et cherche à rendre visibles de nouvelles dimensions. Composé de multiples éléments, Bioplex 6 est un exemple de plateforme alchimique et correspond à une nouvelle étape dans le travail de l’artiste. Parmi ses nombreuses valeurs tant dans les mathématiques que dans la numérologie ou l’occultisme, le chiffre 6 se réfère ici à la sixième dimension obtenue grâce aux ombres que projettent les mobiles géométriques en trois dimensions sur le mur, formant ainsi une nouvelle architecture structurelle.

Comments:
3 x Lust for experiment
" Punk soundartist Svenssons guitar- and engineering industry sounds is like the abstract essence of rock "
- Johannes Cornell, Dagens Nyheter, 30 May 2007
Avant rock
"Recording as The New Alchemy, Sweden´s Per Svensson has combined retro rock with experimental noise
and field recordings. This archival collection stresses the experimental over the retro, with, most notably,
his application of a metal grinder to guitar on the live drone piece, 'Energy Loop Super Conductor'. This is
the sound of rock being broken down into a shrieking mass of pure noise..."
- Tom Ridge, The Wire, 281 July 2007
A good cleaning of your ears, get caressed with metal grinder
Soundart - Sven-Ake Johansson, Per Svensson, Christine Sehnaoui, Olof Bright OBCD 14/15, OBCD 18, OBCD 19
"Per Svensson caresses the listener with a metal grinder...cuts off all the death metal clichees of rock with
two bass drums and coughing guitars, there only remains Svensson´s sound laboratory with hard nucleuses
of sound...It´s impossible to hear if this is a raging underground train or music. Also poethic.
- Mikael Stromberg, Aftonbladet, 11 July 2007

*CD Album "El / Element 1"
Per Svensson
Firework Edition Records FER 1064
Released Summer 2007
Comments:
" Per Svensson proofs it in his 'El/Element 1', two pieces from 1987, wich were released in 1989 as a cassette
on Firework Records, but now luckily enough find their way to a CD. This too is quite noise related even when
Svensson refers to this as 'electroacoustic music, an action, and a shaman ride' in 'El' with bangs on metal
percussion in a large space. A bit like work from Sons of God, Phauss and Hafler trio from the same area.
In 'Element 1', the stronger piece of the two, he works with primordial elements: earth, air, fire, metal, and
things are loud for sure, but the various elements work to eachother like an iron welding factory in dark,
mechanical manner, like a self-contained machine beast coming alive. The Svensson CD is no doubt the best
of the new trio"
- (FdW), Vital Weekly 584, 14 July 2007
"There is a pristine sensibility attached to the sonic events featured on this release. It may be the kinetics of
heavy industry which are evoked by these events, but there is very little that is strictly mechanical about them.
Or should I say: there are soulful mechanics at work here. On the one hand these recordings evoke heavily
industrial reverberations of massive (electro)acoustic and electrostatic events... On the other hand, there is
also sensuality (both in the philosophical and the more common sense) and vitality attached to these events.
This polarity could in fact be one of the defining ingredientts of so called 'industrial music' a genre to which
these works certainly relate. An ongoing source of electrostatic energy - perhaps linked, alike a pacemaker,
to the heartthrob which soon becomes audible - and a mechanical regular heartbeat, contrasted by a flurry of
irregular external events taking place ..."
- Mark Pauwen, EARLabs.org, 17 Aug 2007
"Reedition remasterisee De l'electricite, d'la ferraille, des percussions, un lieu reberberant avec de la flotte qui suinte
...Derives bruitistes, charmes de la rugosite et mysteres du boucan mou... Des manieres d'indus stone, de phono-
graphies brutes en milieu metalo... En fait deux performances (1987-88) enregistrees et mixees pas Kent Tankred

*CD Album "Live in LA"
CM von Hausswolff, Per Svensson, Leif Elggren
Firework Edition Records FER 1055
Released Summer 2007 
Comments:
"Les trois Suedois, membres de Elgaland-Vargaland, en concert a Los Angeles le 14 juillet 1999.
Lors de ce concert, tous les citoyens du royaume d'Elgaland- Vargaland purent blir contact avec
les anges. Drones mechaniques et machines orphelines."

Live In LA
Firework Edition CD
Per Svensson
El/Element 1
Firework Edition CD
¨Live In LA is one of the latest releases on Swedish sound artist Leif Elggren's Firework Edition label,
a recording from 1999 where he shared a tabletop with fellow musicians CM von Hausswolff and Per Svensson.
The single 54 minute track evolves from the expected engine room rumble and electronic splutter to a more
transcendental vibe that leviates the piece considerably. During one section, the electronic hum slowly softens
to produce an acoustic sounding tambura drone with hypnotic waves of astral looping lapping at the edges.
Rather than tinker at their laptops in deep seclusion, there is a genuine feeling of communication here that
pulls you in to the trio's action. Svensson's solo release for the label is equally involving and somewhat more
dramatic. In what he describes as 'a document of electroacoustic music, an action and a shaman ride', he
utilises electrical and primordial sounds to build a towering inferno of low rumbling industrialised sound structures¨
