For the Swedish industrial musician, see Deutsch Nepal.

Peter Andersson (born March 20, 1973, in Boxholm, Sweden) is a music composer within the ambient, noise, industrial, electronic and experimental genre.[1] His interest in electronic music started when he listened to his brother's Kraftwerk albums.[2] He records many of the sounds he uses himself, from industries, boats, fans and similar objects.[2]

His projects are Raison D'être, Stratvm Terror, Necrophorus, Atomine Elektrine, Yantra Atmospheres, Panzar, Svasti-ayanam, Grismannen. Besides his music activities he is mostly interested in film, art, Tibetan Buddhism and meditation. Together with another musician from Boxholm, also called Peter Andersson, he runs the band Blocksholm and together with Johanna Rosenqvist the band Cataclyst.[3][4]

Raison d'être is a dark ambient project by Andersson. The name of the band was taken from a sentence in a book by Carl Gustav Jung: "the individuation is the raison d’être of the self".[5] Dark ambient atmospheres, drone elements, industrial sounds, ecclesiastical hymns are all blended together to constitute the music of Raison d'être. The music produced by Raison d'être is variously dark ambient and soundscape in nature. For example, synthesizers might play a droning melody over the sound of metal scraping together. Andersson often mixes tapes of Gregorian chant with his own keyboard and percussion playing.

Stratvm Terror

[edit]

Stratvm Terror is an industrial noise project of Peter Andersson, first appearing in 1993. For the project, he was joined by Tobias Larsson.[6] After a few tapes and four CD releases this project has almost reached[when?] the same acclaimed status as Raison d'être. Stratvm Terror offers harsh, droning, aggressive and loud frequencies, though it could be considered more musical in earlier albums.
