Is absolutely fantastic! Per carry us in a word made by air, make us fly with him and with his impossibile rhitms, voices, sounds. Something that remembers me the liquidity of a clear blue sky. Sounds textures are created used and then destroyed, sounds grow by down and some else kick us by left or by right, it seems a multidimensional acoustic world in which to loose ourselves letting sounds carry us to mysterius worlds. The timbric of the flute sinth sometimes remembers me the great Jon Hassel but... without regrets! So Per continue by this way!

I came upon this album looking for improvised music, but was a bit disappointed when I found this album. Not because it sounded bad, no.. far from it. It just didn't sound improvised the least bit! It's that well done. The album is has a lot of stuff going on, but still manages to be pretty calm.

Really nothing bad to say about it, although I'd love to see you experiment with more ambient soundscapes. :)

A clever musician, an involving and inspired construction on Minimalist basic elements, enriched with many good sounds and flavours. No more to say...a work that deserves many and many listenings.

Fantastic!. If you are into experimental live music, don't miss this album!. One man band? The answer: unbelievable looping wizardry. Mouth beatbox is enjoyable. Also those jazzy phrasing with sax and EWI demonstrate that we are in front of an accomplished performer. References? I'm going to try with only this one: Jon Hassel's "Aki Darbari Java [magic realism]". One of my favourite albums of all times!. Skilled live loopist!.

This work is an outstanding set of experimental tracks that touches several styles of music with a common frame of looping. The tracks shows a great deal of experimentation and musical bravery. Maybe they are not easy to listen for everyone, but you manage to create a sound of your own and to reach some kind of "ectasis" wall of noise and sound that I believe is what Philip Glass was all about in monolithic compositions like "Music in Twelve Parts" or "Einstein on the Beach", or Steve Reich's "It's gonna rain". Like it or not, you have created a piece of pure minimalism beauty. I love the way you use the flute as a percussion in a very Jethro Tull/locomotive breath fashion in pieces like "Running Librarians" or "Infiltrating the Machines".

Regarding the cover, I have to say I disagree with SaReGaMa. I find the cover pretty cool, it has a somewhat "beatlesque" feel to it (Yellow Submarine?). Some very good (Gong) or even commercial (Gorillaz) bands have made wonderful music or money with this kind of covers, so I think you should keep using them, don't let anyone tell you that you should put a more "successful" or "commercially" aimed cover.

I find your work amusing, will listen to your other albums.

Textures et mouvements de vagues, syncopes en douceur, espace, balancement...
Un disque à écouter le soir, allongé, un verre à portée de main, toutes lumières éteintes. Un pur régal, facile d'accès mais néanmions exigeant.
Merci Per.

Fans of serious music - don't miss this one.
It was very intriguing to listen to those experiments, it's a good work but it didn't catch me, too subtle and too abstract for my taste.
I seen this album on Jamendo so many times but never gave it a try, you know why - because of that idiotic cover. I saw that flash cartoon of yours, ok, it's cute, but choosing it for cover...Heh!
Please don't underestimate the importance of a good catchy cover 'cause that what brings the audience to you. It's the first thing people see, they don't see the music behind it, and if the cover design is good they click on it.
How pathetic it may sound it's true.

While this is an album created with a whole lot of technology (especially looping), it's wonderfully human and enjoyable, with even the most technological elements such as the EWI (electronic wind instrument, a non-acoustic sort of sax) brimming with emotion. Standout tracks are the hilariously name Nostril Waltz, the appropriately moving Move Italia, and Cute Furry Thing, which is anchored by a creepy baby voice (really a pitch-shifted adult voice - Per's? - which appears elsewhere too). Though there are many directions taken on the record, from mouth-generated beatbox rhythms to impressive solo sax or EWI excursions to a faint reggae, much of it could be compared to a more earthy Massive Attack, particularly on tracks like "Slip Out Of It". Recommended.
