 Per Boysen is a Swedish Multi Instrumentalist Crossover Crusader that wants to take you into this wonderfully undefinable zone where Improvised Live Looping meets Jazz, meets EAM, meets Dance, meets Space, meets World... Instant Freeform Electronica!

In jazz a soloist typically improvises over pre-defined orchestrated chord structures. In my music the player improvises both the orchestration, chord structures and lead melody lines at the same time. This very intuitive way of creating music is technically possible thanks to live-looping techniques.

What is Live Looping?
Live Looping is about creating and juggling with dynamic loops to create complex music on-the-fly, normally without using pre-recorded material. This is not the same thing as the static loops typically heard in most contemporary music, repeating in the background through out the piece. To play loop music is similar to standing by the edge of a huge canyon and sing back to your own echo. However, as looping musicians we take it one step further by catching the bouncing loops and building new music out of them. Then we keep on playing on the roof of that building, thus creating new material for building the next floor.

Philosophy
You may have noticed that I'm writing a lot about improvisation. Looping technology can of course be used also for composing but I really do not see much point in that. It would be like starting to draw a road map of how to transport your newly received wings instead of just strapping them on and start flying. But then I'm heavily biased being a diehard improviser and a zen nerd.

A new way of listening
For an audience a live looping concert can be an incredibly inspiring experience. You are not presented a finished artwork that is locked into its composed form. Instead, you are able to follow in detail how each musician is adding his parts to the music - note after note, loop after loop. It is like an instantly evolving ritual of magic that never repeats itself.
